With the improvement of living standards, the safety of bedding has been paid more and more attention, many people will take a special look at the safety technology category when picking bedding, if it is class A, you can rest assured to place an order, and if it is class B, you will not consider it directly.
Many businesses have seized this point and hyped their quilts as Class A, Class A soybean quilts, Class A four-piece sets, Class A milk velvet kits, etc., and bedding labeled with Class A is selling well on the Internet, and many friends have questions, Class A milk velvet four-piece set is essentially a Class A polyester four-piece set? Can polyester also be a class A bedding?
Consumers who do not understand fabrics may feel very authoritative after reading the Class A test report, in fact, the requirements for class-A textiles are not high, as everyone thinks, polyester fibers can also be divided into Class A products!
Today, Xiaoyuan will give you an answer to what Class A, Class B, and Class C mean, as well as the national standards for classing Class A, Class B, and Class C. I believe that after reading this, many friends will not take Class A bedding as the only standard for purchasing.
What are categories A, B, C?
The national standard ABC class stipulates: Class A is the use of textiles for infants and children, Class B is the textile that can be directly contacted, and Class C is not the textile that can be directly contacted.
Classification criteria for categories A, B, and C
Formaldehyde content Let's first take a look at the national requirements, the standard for distinguishing textile products from class A, class B and class C is formaldehyde content and saliva resistance, formaldehyde content mg kg (per kilogram of textile ingested in milligrams) 20 can be divided into class A, formaldehyde content 75 can be divided into class B, formaldehyde content 300 can be divided into class C.
At present, bedding with excessive formaldehyde is usually a four-piece set of paint printing, and the adhesive used in the printing process is a common substance that causes excessive formaldehyde. In addition to this item, there are not many four-piece sets with excessive formaldehyde, so you don't need to worry too much about the four-piece set of formaldehyde will exceed the standard.

Saliva resistance. Saliva resistance is commonly said to detect whether saliva will fade after chemical reaction with textiles, children often lick their hands, bite clothes, bite quilts, afraid of eating into children's mouths, saliva resistance indicators are basically very good, more than 4 to meet the national standard, many ** clothes, bedding can also pass the saliva resistance test.
Class A bedding is not necessarily safe
The national basic safety technical specifications for textile products were promulgated in 2010, although in 2015 the detection of heavy metals and phthalates was added to Class A textiles, but it has been a while since now, so even if it is Class A baby textiles, its related safety requirements have been a bit out of touch with the development of textiles now.
GB GB31701-2015 content).
For example, fixing agents, when it comes to fixing agents, everyone will think of unsafe and formaldehyde, which does contain formaldehyde in the early days, but most of the current fixing agents do not contain formaldehyde. Today's fixing agents generally contain a more hidden toxic substance, bisphenol A, which is known as an "endocrine disruptor", which will cause precocious puberty in girls and feminization in boys, and will also damage liver and kidney function and affect female fertility.
However, Class A textiles do not check BPA. So when buying bedding, it is indeed better if it is a class A textile, but this should not be the core point of your bedding purchase!
It is recommended to buy branded bedding
It is recommended that you look for reliable brands when buying bedding, bedding with brand endorsement will pay special attention to safety, and its safety implementation standards are mostly in line with international standards, focus on the product details page when shopping online, if there is a test report on the detail page, or the fabric composition is introduced in great detail, then you don't have to worry too much, you can buy such products, remember not to buy cheap inferior bedding.
