Proposal for amendments to the inspection requirements for textile goods (5 page(s), in English; 8 page(s), in Chinese)

With a view to enhancing the performance of textile goods, which are currently subject to mandatory inspection, to meeting the needs of consumers, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) proposes to update the inspection standards CNS 15290 and CNS 15291 to their current versions (published on 14 November 2019 and 12 July 2019). However, textile goods' inspection scheme remains unchanged, which is monitoring inspection or random inspection by the sampling purchased from the market.

CNS 15290: 2019, ''Safety of textiles (General requirements)'' has added the requirement for limitation of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) lower than 1 μg/m2 of goods or coated material. This Standard also has revised nonylphenolethoxylates (NPEO) and nonylphenol (NP) in concentrations lower than 1,000 mg/kg (0.1%).

CNS 15291: 2019, ''Safety of children's clothing- Cords and drawstrings on children's clothing- Specifications'', which is a modified version of BS EN 14682: 2014, has expanded the age range from 12 to 14, and revised cords and drawstrings' specification.
