The inspection and quarantine department specially reminds: Beware of the harm of "broken needle" when exporting clothing!

Recently, overseas media reported that sewing needles were found in clothing exported from my country. Small sewing needles in exported clothing not only bring safety hazards to consumers, but also may cause international trade disputes. The inspection and quarantine department specially reminds: export clothing should beware of big problems caused by small needles.

According to reports, the needles used in clothing are generally divided into manual sewing needles and sewing machine needles, and other needles for basting or marking. Needles are big things. According to the introduction of Zhenjiang Inspection and Quarantine Department, after the garments produced by a garment manufacturer in a foreign country were sold in Japan, consumers found broken needles and complained to the relevant departments. As a result, the trading company not only lost customers, but also lost its market and credibility, but also provided services for customers. This paid 1 million yen in compensation, and the factory also faced a series of economic losses such as returns. Strictly control the quality of products and prevent the occurrence of needle leakage and missed inspection accidents are issues that garment manufacturers and inspection and quarantine departments must pay attention to.

The relevant person in charge of the Zhenjiang Inspection and Quarantine Department said that clothing is one of the main commodities under special rectification this year. The inspection and quarantine department will comprehensively strengthen the random inspection of export clothing, and include needle inspection as a mandatory inspection item for on-site inspection of export clothing. The inspection and quarantine department also reminds garment manufacturers to establish a broken needle and needle inspection management system, consciously strengthen quality management, and strictly manage the collection and use of sewing needles, the treatment of broken needles, the procedures for changing needles, and the needle inspection of finished products, especially It is to carry out strict conformity assessment, filing and effective supervision of outbound processed products, implement the product quality reporting system, comprehensively strengthen the inspection and supervision of the safety and quality of exported clothing, and eliminate the problems of "broken needles and missing needles" in the bud.

Chenzhou regulates the needle system for export garment enterprises

A few days ago, the Chenzhou Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau conducted a surprise inspection of the needle management of the city's export clothing enterprises, and the results were not very optimistic. There were discarded old needles at the production site, the number of spare needles did not meet the requirements, the needles used in the machine did not have any registration, and the missing needles had no tracking records, so that use needle metal detector for clothing and shoes also necessary.

At present, the export garment enterprises in our city have not yet formulated a standardized needle exchange system. Employees change new needles without handing over old needles. The number of needles on the production site is unclear, employees are free to pull needles on the machine, and old needles are discarded everywhere. The problems are very serious, and these are the reasons for the series of non-conformance problems in this inspection.

Standardizing the needle management system of enterprises and avoiding broken needles in clothing is an important channel to ensure the quality of export products, and it is also the key content of the special rectification of export clothing enterprises. In this regard, Chenzhou Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau requires all export garment enterprises to do four "strict controls", namely, strictly control spare needles, reduce the spare quantity of machine needles and hand sewing needles; strictly control the registration of requisition and use, and insist on "exchanging old for new". Strictly control the operation site, record the needle use situation in real time with the registration card; strictly control broken and old needles, adhere to the recycling registration system, it is best to use a needle detector for inspection to ensure that the phenomenon of broken needles is eliminated.

It is reported that the current quality of exported clothing in our city remains stable. In 2007, the export value of clothing in our city reached 7.8 million US dollars. From January to May this year, the export value was 3.25 million US dollars, an increase of 10% over the same period of the previous year. Through the recent rectification, the quality of our city's export products will move towards a higher level.
