The new national standard is implemented! When buying down jackets this year, don’t look for “down” but look for “down”
The weather is getting cooler, and down jackets have been launched one after another. Starting from April 1 this year, the new national standard for down clothing will be officially implemented, which also means that this winter will be the first sales season after the new national standard for down clothing is implemented. So, what changes have taken place in the down jacket market? What should consumers pay attention to when purchasing?
The reporter came to the Xinjiekou Commercial District in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. The sales staff said that in late October, sales of down jackets gradually increased. Starting from April this year, the new national standard for down has been officially implemented. The biggest highlight is the change of “down content” to “down content”. The reporter looked at the tag of a down jacket and found that there was no “down content” label on the tag.
The difference between “down content” and “down content” is that in the previous standards, down content included both down and single strands of velvet that fell off from the root of the velvet or wool pieces, while velvet content included both velvet and velvet. Silk waste is included in the velvet content, which can easily cause misunderstandings to consumers.
Zhu Xiaofang, senior engineer of the ProductQuality Institute of Supervision and Inspection of Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province: The velvet is in the shape of a small dandelion umbrella, relatively fluffy, and the velvet filaments are in the shape of individual strands. , no fluffiness. The “down content” in the old national standard includes both velvet and velvet, and it is the velvet that plays the role of warmth. After the implementation of the new national standard, only the down content in down will be marked.
After the implementation of the new national standard, the velvet content of finished clothing must be no less than 50% to be called a down jacket. Consumers can roughly judge the thermal performance of down jackets by looking at the down content when purchasing. In addition, the labeling of down types only distinguishes between duck down and goose down, and no longer distinguishes between gray down and white down. According to professionals, if consumers want to buy a qualified down jacket, they should also pay attention to whether the labels are complete, and whether the name and address, safety category, fiber content, washing and maintenance plan, etc. are labeled in a standardized way.
