Re: Childrens Clothing Regulations
Posted: 22 Feb 2017, 12:22
Before Christmas I bought some baby bodysuits for sublimation from a reputable supplier and was surprised to see that they were not labelled and although obviously polyester, they should still have been properly labelled to comply with legal requirements. I put them to one side and didn't use them.
However, a recent request for baby clothing has renewed my research into up to date legislation regarding safety. I have looked through threads on here, hoping to find references to the various regulations but found very little. I am aware of the 'cords & drawstrings" updated in 2014, regs covering flammability of childrens nightwear, and those covering mechanical safety in the manufacture of childrens clothing. What I am struggling to find is any information regarding the safety of print methods. For example, sublimation on polyester garments or inkjet transfer papers on cotton or vinyl/printed vinyl on cotton/other? This may well be encompassed within the mechanical safety aspects but can anyone point me in the right direction please for access to correct and up to date information? Thank you in anticipation
