Shanghai Municipal Commission for the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests.
In accordance with GB T 14272-2021
Down Clothing" is a new standard.
I reviewed it for everyone.

See the results directly!
Test Items:Focusing on the hygienic safety and warmth of the products concerned by consumers, this evaluation tested the alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO), decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes, turbidity cleanliness, odor, down content, down filling capacity, fluffiness, heat transfer performance, velvet + feather silk and so on.
Sample Details:Among the 70 down jackets, 34 were collected from e-commerce platforms such as Tmall, JD.com, Douyin, and Dewu, and 36 were collected from offline physical stores such as shopping malls and brand stores.
Overall. Samples were collected online, especially in the live broadcast room
There are many problems
Some brands are in terms of filling volume, velvet content, etc
There are problems with the test metrics
Hygienic and safe
The health and safety of down jackets are mainly considered from four aspects: alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO), decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes, turbidity, cleanliness, and odor.
The results are displayed. Turbidity and cleanliness of 70 samples.
It can decompose carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes.
The smell is in line with the standard requirements.
However, 3 samples of APEO exceeded the limitSpecifically:
Nominally produced by Lingxuan, Jiaxing City"Bandi Bear" brand down jacket (**294..)$5)., the APEO content is 29356 mg/kg；
Nominal Moncler (Shanghai) commercial *** production"Moncler" brand down jacket (**13230 yuan)., the APEO content is 14316 mg/kg；
Nominal Jiangsu Bingjie fashion clothing *** production"Bengen Bingjie" brand down jacket (**299 yuan)., the APEO content is 13725 mg/kg。
APEO is one of the most commonly used raw materials in detergents in the down industry, with the characteristics of low cost and stable propertiesHowever, excessive amounts may affect the normal hormone secretion of the human body and endanger physical health. The new national standard has clear requirements for APEO with reference to the EU standard, requiring that the APEO content should be < 100mg kg.
Warmth
The filling amount refers to the total weight of all down filled in the down jacket, and the level of the filling amount will affect the warmth of the down jacket. The down is mainly composed of down, feather, velvet, etc., among which the velvet plays a role in keeping warm, and the feather and velvet are the monofilaments that fall off the down, and there is no fluffy feeling. If the down content is low and the down + feather content is high, it will not only affect the warmth effect, but also increase the risk of down drilling and reduce the quality of the down jacket. The standard requires that down garments must be marked with the amount of down and the content of down.
It was found. Some brands have a pile filling amount or down content.
The measured content is less than claimed
The down + feather content exceeds the standard limit
among others"Bandi Bear" has problems in many test indicators such as down filling amount and down content. For example, the product label clearly states that the down content is 90% white duck down, the down filling amount is 380g, and the measured down content is only 367% duck down, the filling amount is only 292g; In fact, the content of velvet + feather silk is 473%, more than 4 times the standard (standard value: 10%).
Other samples that do not meet the criteria are:
Nominal Chenhu E-commerce (Hangzhou) ** production"Hudu" brand down jacket (**189 yuan).The main problems are: the amount of down filling, the content of the cashmere;
Nominally, it is produced by Aipapin Trading (Shanghai)**"Mackage" brand down jacket (**9300 yuan).The main problems are: goose plush content;
Nominal Duck Duck Joint Stock Company production"Duck Duck" brand down jacket (**368 yuan)., the main problems are: velvet + feather;
Nominal 361 degrees (China)**"361°" brand down jacket (**703 yuan)., the main problems are: velvet + feather;
After the Shanghai Municipal Consumer Protection Commission notified the enterprises of the results of this comparative test, it attracted great attention from the enterprisesSeveral brands immediately stopped selling and voluntarily recalled the same batch of products that had been sold.
Consumption tips: Pay attention to four things when buying down jackets
1.Check the logo
View hangtags and labels. The tag should be marked with the factory name, factory address, fiber content, washing identification, quality grade, implementation of the standard code and other information. According to the standard regulations of down jackets, important information such as the type of down (duck down or goose down), down content (e.g. 80%), and filling amount (e.g. 200g) must be clearly marked.
2.Look at sewing
Observe the sewing quality of down jackets. Whether the wiring is neat and whether there are fine fluffs drilled out. If it is found that there are obvious hair strands drilling out of the surface of the fabric or lining, it is possible to drill down after wearing, but it is normal for a small amount of hair to drill out from the seams.
3.Measure rebound
Relax the down jacket and let it recover naturally for 3 to 5 minutes, then press the down jacket with both hands, then release your hands to observe its rebound recovery. The faster the rebound recovers, the better the fluffiness. If it does not rebound or rebounds slowly and the rebound height is very low, it means that the filling down is of poor quality.
4.Smell the smell
Put your nose close to the down jacket and smell the smell inside, and check for fishy smell and odor. If there is an obvious fishy smell and peculiar smell, it means that the down raw materials have not been processed or strictly washed and disinfected.
