All technical content of this standard is mandatory.

This standard replaces GB 18401-2003 "National Basic Safety Technical
Specifications for Textile Products". Compared with GB 18401-2003, the main
technical content changes of this standard are as follows:
 Add "household use" to the scope. Delete "use" and "unless otherwise
agreed between the supply and demand parties";
 Added one reference standard GB/T 23344 to Chapter 2:

months;
 The product classification of 4.1 is changed from the A, B and C class
codes to the direct description of the classification in text;
 The pH value of category B in Table 1 is modified from 4.0~7.5 to
4.0~8.5;
 The products in footnotes a and b of Table 1 are clearly “non-final
products”;
 Footnote b of Table 1 adds “Natural color and bleached products are not
required; traditional hand-colored products such as tie-dye and batik are

products.
  Footnote C of Table 1 increases the limit value of carcinogenic aromatic
amines to 120 mg/kg;
 5.2 Added "curtains and other hanging decorative products are not

After the sample is opened, the test for this item is carried out immediately. Testing
should be conducted in a clean environment without abnormal odor. Operator
washes double Wear gloves on the back of your hands, hold the sample close to
your nostrils with both hands , and smell the smell of the sample carefully . If you
detect a musty smell or a high-boiling range petroleum smell (such as If there is
one or more of the following (gasoline, kerosene smell), fishy smell, aromatic gas
smell , it will be judged as " having peculiar smell " , and the peculiar smell
category will be recorded. Otherwise, it will be judged as " none" Odor " .
Two people should conduct independent testing, and the consistent results

results of two people are inconsistent, one more person will be tested. Test, and
finally the consistent result between the two people is used as the sample test
result.

be carried out in accordance with GB/T 17592 and GB/T 23344 .
Note: Generally, it is tested according to GB/T 17592 first . When aniline and/or 1,4
-phenylenediamine is detected, it is tested according to GB/T 23344 .

7 Inspection Rules

7.1 Randomly select representative samples according to variety and color from
each batch of products, and select one sample for each variety and color .

7.2 Cloth sampling should be at least 2 m from the end, and the sample size
should be the entire width with a length of not less than 0.5 m ; the number
of samples of clothing or other products Should meet test needs.

the sample all meet the requirements of the corresponding category in table
1 ( containing 2 types and For products with the above components, each
component meets the requirements of the corresponding category in Table 1
) , then the basic safety performance of the sample is qualified, otherwise it
is unqualified. grid. Small components that weigh no more than 1% of the
entire product in products that are in direct contact with the skin and in
products that are not in direct contact with the skin are not assessed.

Sampling Instructions

D.1 Sampling for color fastness testing

According to the corresponding test method regulations. For printed and yarn-dyed
products with large or irregular pattern cycles, each hue is tested separately, and
the lowest level is used as the test result.
D.2 Sampling for formaldehyde, pH and decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine
dye tests

D.2.1 Products with color patterns:

 For a product with a regular pattern, sample according to the cycle, cut into
pieces and mixed as a sample.
 For a product with a large pattern cycle, take samples in proportion to the
ground and flower areas, cut them into pieces and mix them as a sample.
GB 18401—2010

 For a product with an independent pattern, if the pattern area can meet the
needs of one sample, the pattern should be sampled separately; if the
pattern is too small to fit one sample, the sampling should include the
pattern, and it is not suitable to cut out multiple samples and combine them
into one sample. Sample.
 A smaller pattern detects only decomposable aromatic amines.
D.2.2 Multi-layer and composite products:
 One can manually layer daily products, sample them in layers, and measure
them separately;
 A product that cannot be layered by hand is sampled as a whole.
