Standards System for the China Market

These standards specify the general safety requirements for textile products that are manufactured, distributed or imported into China for sale in the local retail market.  The standard system in China is divided into two main parts, Part 1: Mandatory, Part 2: Recommended

Part 1, the mandatory standards are proceeded with the initials GB, abbreviated from Guo Biao, which means National Standard. This is legally binding and enforced through the legislation process. For example, GB 18401, GB 20400, etc.

Part 2 focuses on the recommended Product standards with the letter T indicating that it is a recommendation ie GB/T or FZ/T.  In addition to GB initials, FZ is also used and is short for Fang Zhi, meaning the standard of the Textile industry. These standards are in place to regulate a product or a product type to ensure it complies with certain requirements applicable to it.

Product Standard

Besides the above mentioned mandatory requirements e.g. GB 18401, GB 20400 etc, an importer should declare which standard the product fulfils. In China, there are hundreds of product standards for different types of apparel and therefore the relevant standard for the product should be chosen. e.g. Product standard GB/T 2660 shirts and blouses, FZ/T 81006 Jeanswear.  Unlike many other country standards, those in China will cover all production requirements such as inspection and workmanship to guide production, as well as focusing on product performance testing requirements.

There are also different quality grades in each product standard such as Qualified grade / First grade and High-class grade. Apparel should at least meet the lowest quality grade of the specific product standard with the quality grade and product standard being declared on the hangtag.

Safety requirement of category A > category B > category C.
The minimal requirement for skin contact textile is category B, and that for non-skin contact textile is category C.
A stricter standard can be declared on your product, say, you can declare category B for a non-skin contact textile product, but NOT vice versa.

When worn or used, a skin contact product has its surface area in direct contact of human skin. If only a minor part is in skin contact or no contact, the product is classified as indirect skin contact.

Skin contact examples: Underwear, shirts, skirts, trousers, socks, bed sheets, duvet covers, towels, swimsuits, hats.

Non-skin contact examples: Overclothes, curtains, bed linen, wall cloth.

Infant products are defined as those to be used by 36months and below (generally height 100cm or below).

Children products are those above infant ones, and for aged 14 or below (generally height 155cm/160cm or below, for girls & boys respectively).

For test requirement on cord & drawstring – children products for aged 7 or below generally means that for height 130cm or below. The age range of your product needs to be clearly marked on test submission.

May not be.  Although a product standard would normally cover the requirement in safety standard, a product has to comply to all applicable mandatory standards, plus any committed performance declarations.

According to textile labelling requirement, textile products have to declare the “product standard” and product grade, which would normally contain another set of requirements.

Despite each “product standard” may itself be voluntary (with “/T” which means recommended in Chinese), the declaration is a market norm and makes the declared set of product standard becomes mandatory to some extent.

To put it simple, the minimum compliance would be safety standard + declared product standard.

Suppliers should be clear about factory production standard and declare applicable product standards and grades with products to be sold in the market.
