In response to the regulatory loopholes exposed by the “problematic school uniforms” incident, this city will study and establish stricter local standards for school uniforms, while also studying and implementing a relatively centralized procurement model, conducting pre-inspection, and establishing a “blacklist” system for school uniform suppliers5 regulatory measures. Pudong New Area has suspended all 26,444 sets of school uniforms supplied by relevant companies to 21 schools and submitted them for inspection. The relevant test results will be announced to the public in the near future.

The official Weibo of the Information Office of the Shanghai Municipal Government, “Shanghai Release”, posted on Weibo yesterday that the relevant departments of the city and districts and counties have attached great importance to the problem products of “Shanghai Ouxia Fashion” found in recent random inspections by the quality supervision department, and have instructed relevant parties to conduct in-depth investigations. investigation. Once public officials or school staff are found to have violated regulations or disciplines, they will be severely dealt with.

It is understood that Pudong New Area, where the problem was discovered, has suspended all 26,444 sets of school uniforms supplied by relevant companies to 21 schools and submitted them for inspection. The relevant test results will be announced in the near future. The education department will draw inferences from one example and comprehensively investigate the relevant clothing of the companies involved in the city to ensure that students’ clothing is safe and controllable.

In the process of investigating the problems of “Shanghai Ouxia Fashion”, the relevant departments found that there were problems such as lax supervision and unclear responsibilities in actual work. The coordination mechanism between various departments was not perfect, and there were also some loopholes in supervision.

【Research on relatively centralized procurement model】

The quality supervision, education, price and other competent departments conducted in-depth research overnight to form a long-term mechanism for school uniform supervision and promptly implemented a series of measures.

The first is to clarify the access standards. The quality supervision department will study and establish stricter local standards for school uniforms on the basis of general clothing quality standards. Before new standards are formed, existing standards must be strictly implemented and strict supervision must be achieved by significantly increasing the proportion and frequency of sampling inspections.

The second is to standardize the ordering subjects and procedures, and under the current “large decentralized” pattern of independent procurement by each school, study a relatively centralized procurement model that combines districts, counties and schools. During the procurement process, the quality supervision department will conduct pre-inspection and give full play to the role of the school’s parent committee. The ordering process must be fully open to students and parents.

The third is to implement process spot checks, instructing district and county education departments and schools to actively cooperate with the quality supervision department to carry out process supervision. Once problems are discovered, they will be recalled immediately for rectification and severe penalties will be imposed. Enterprises that have not passed the rectification are not allowed to serve as school uniform suppliers, and a “blacklist” system will be established and announced.

The fourth is to reasonably determine the price of school uniforms and implement the principle of “guaranteed capital and small profits”, fully considering the affordability of students and parents, and taking into account the reasonable interests of enterprises.

Fifth, information should be fully disclosed, and a sound information disclosure system should be established and improved within the scope of different ordering entities. The results of random inspections should be disclosed to district and county education departments, schools and the public in a timely manner.

[The quality of school uniforms in this city is generally stable]

The municipal quality supervision department stated that the pass rate of random inspections of school uniforms in this city has remained at a high level over the years. Since 2012, the quality supervision department has added marking items in random inspections. Many manufacturers failed to implement this standard in time, resulting in the pass rate dropping to 48.7%. If this test item, which does not affect the quality, safety and wearing function of clothing, is excluded, the passing rate of school uniforms would be 87.8%. Overall, the quality of school uniforms for primary and secondary school students in this city is relatively stable.

【Visiting the source of “poison cloth strips”】

[School uniform fabrics are divided into environmentally friendly and non-environmental friendly materials, the cost difference is 5 yuan per set]

In the “poisonous school uniform” incident, a 1cm wide black strip of cloth sewn on the sleeve of the student uniform became the protagonist of the trouble. According to the person in charge of the manufacturer, this strip of cloth was purchased from Keqiao, Shaoxing, Zhejiang.

Keqiao is currently the largest textile wholesale market in Asia. Is “toxic” fabric popular and what kind of hazards are hidden there? Morning News reporters rushed to Keqiao, Shaoxing and found that the fabrics in the wholesale market are divided into environmentally friendly and traditional printing and dyeing. “Each set of environmentally friendly school uniforms The cost is only 5 yuan more expensive.”

Regarding the use of aromatic amine dyes, which are carcinogens, many fabric wholesale house owners said they “don’t know much about this kind of dyes” and insisted that they would never use carcinogenic dyes.

[Non-environmentally friendly fabrics are sold at many stalls]

Yesterday afternoon, a reporter from the Morning Post rushed to the Dongsheng Road Market in Keqiao Textile City. In the cloth trading area of ​​Area B, the reporter inquired from many stalls in the name of purchasing school uniforms. Boss Wei, the owner of a shop called “Cloth Walker Textile Shop” said, We supply goods to many school uniform factories. Most of the school uniforms use T/R fabrics, which is economical and affordable. Boss Wei pointed to a piece of black cloth and introduced that this T/R fabric has different dyeing and weaving methods, environmental protection requirements, and different prices. The one using environmentally friendly dyes is slightly more expensive.

The reporter also found that many stalls in Keqiao Textile City sell both environmentally friendly and non-environmentally friendly fabrics. The difference between the two, Boss Wei explained, is that generally small dyeing machines�The traditional dyeing method uses non-environmentally friendly dyes, so the price is slightly lower. However, large dyeing factories use environmentally friendly dyes, and the prices rise accordingly.

According to Pan Wei, a city fiber product testing expert and senior engineer, my country has strict standards and specifications for textile ingredients, and the use of non-environmentally friendly dyes does not mean failure.

[“If you don’t check, I recommend the cheaper one”]

The reporter found that non-environmentally friendly fabrics are more popular among buyers. Boss Wei said that if buyers do not make special requests, he will generally recommend cheaper fabrics.

In terms of cost, the owner of a textile store said that an economical and practical school uniform fabric is about 13.2 yuan/meter. Based on the usage of 2.5 meters per piece of school uniform, the cost of each set of school uniform fabric is about 33 yuan.

When the reporter asked whether the fabric was environmentally friendly, the shop owner said that environmentally friendly dye fabrics could be used, but the price was 0.8 yuan/meter more expensive. The shop owner even said, “If the Education Bureau doesn’t check, I recommend you use cheap ones. If you need to pass environmental testing, use the 14 yuan ones.”

In the eighth district in the north of Keqiao Textile City, the owner of a textile shop also told reporters that a set of school uniform fabrics costs about 35 yuan. The boss even said that he could help contact the clothing processing factory in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. The total cost of processing into ready-made clothes is about 60 yuan. “With transportation fees, packaging fees, etc., the cost of each set is about 75 yuan.” When the reporter emphasized that school uniforms should meet environmental protection standards, the boss said that all the uniforms could be made of environmentally friendly fabrics with an appropriate increase in cost. “The difference between the two is about 5 yuan per set.”
