The US CPSC proposes to revise the flammability standards for clothing and textiles
On September 14, 2022, the U.S. Consumer Safety Commission (CPSC) proposed to revise the flammability standard for clothing textiles 16 CFR 1610.
The proposed revisions include:
1. Update the combustion code (combustion characteristics) of convex fabrics , to integrate redundant codes and eliminate unnecessary and unclear codes to improve the clarity of flammability classification;
2. In the current standards, The “stop thread” is specified as “No.50, white, mercerized cloth, 100% sewing cotton thread”. Currently “No.50” is not a common and clear description method, so in the proposed standard, the provision of stop thread will be changed to “three-ply, white, mercerized cloth, 100% sewing cotton thread, 35-45 Tex”;
3. Update dry cleaning options: Due to regulatory restrictions on the use of perchlorethylene, hydrocarbons are added as additional options;
4. Update washing and drying specifications to meet the current machines on the market. It also merges laundering standard AATCC LP1–2021 to replace the old standard AATCCTM 124-2006.
