New national standard implementation of domestic baby diapers quality and comfort improved steadily

On May 1, 2022, the national standard GB/T 28004.1-2021 "Diapers Part 1: Baby Diapers" (hereinafter referred to as the "New Standard") was officially implemented. In this more than a year, domestic baby diaper manufacturers actively implement the new national standard. Jiang huasu, President of the National Institute of maternal and infant industry, said that the quality and comfort of domestic baby diapers have been improved under the new national standard. Compared with the international standard, the standard of domestic baby diapers is now at an advanced level!

Jiang Huasu, president of the National Institute of Chinese Business Maternal and Infant Industry, said that the testing items for baby diapers in the old standard included four technical indicators: size deviation, permeability, pH value and delivery moisture. The deviation is divided into full length deviation, full width deviation and strip quality deviation. Permeability is divided into slip infiltration, infiltration and leakage.

However, the new standard stipulates seven indicators, such as strip quality deviation, permeability (absorption speed, backosmosis and leakage), pH value, surface exudate, impurities, anti-side leakage performance index and delivery moisture. The new standard also adds safety indicators such as heavy metals, mobile fluorescent substances, acrylamide, formaldehyde, phthalates, decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes, etc., all of which help to improve the quality and safety of domestic baby diapers. Protect the health of infants and young children.

The new standard increases the surface layer attachment, anti-leakage performance, impurities and other performance indicators, and modifies the permeability performance measurement method, in order to further improve the applicability of the standard, pay more attention to the comfort of the product.

Jiang Huishu, president of the National Institute of Chinese Business Maternal and Infant Industry, said that the new national standard revised the method for measuring the permeability of baby diapers. Compared with the old standard, the new method has the following advantages: 1) the design is closer to the actual use; 2) can better reflect the absorption performance of the product; 3) good repeatability, convenient operation, automatic dosing, timing, human error factors are small, the test results are more accurate.

Jiang Hushu, director of the National Institute of maternal and child industry, said that for baby diaper products, consumers are generally worried about "recycled materials", "urine leakage" and red buttocks. Infant diapers are not allowed to be produced using recycled raw materials, but in the market, there are still unscrupulous merchants who recycle diapers and reuse raw materials such as high-absorbent resin after crushing. The new standard increases the impurity index, which is to limit the use of recycled materials from the source.

Jiang Hushu, President of the National Institute of maternal and child industry, said that the standard of baby diaper in China is now at the leading level compared with the international level! In order to improve the safety and comfort of baby diapers, the new standard provides a unified basis for the evaluation of baby diapers by detecting the residual amount of pollutants and increasing the use of performance evaluation methods. The technical level of standard indicators is basically in line with relevant foreign standards and regulations, and is at the international advanced level.

From the product test results and the investigation of domestic baby diaper manufacturers, the current excellent domestic diapers have made great progress in the development of new materials and product design, and their performance is no longer inferior to internationally imported baby diapers.
