Sportswear Committee Set Up

The founding meeting of the national sports goods Standardization Technical Committee sportswear branch was held in Jinjiang recently. The holding of this industry standardization Summit marked the beginning of China's sports apparel market entering the stage of standardization competition.

The conference will discuss the first standard system of sportswear in China.

Reporters learned that the conference will discuss the draft, working plan and working rules of the sportswear branch.

Li Su, the quality director and senior engineer of Anta, was appointed deputy director of the sportswear branch to assist in the related work of the sportswear branch.

With the improvement of sports competitive level in China, higher requirements for the quality, material and technology of all kinds of sportswear have been put forward.

However, at present, there are few product standards for sportswear in China. The standards of the foundation, terminology, safety and testing methods of sportswear products in the whole industry are basically blank. It is urgent to work out national standards and industry standards that are forward-looking, targeted and operable to standardize the quality of the sports apparel industry and promote the development of sports industry in China.

Accordingly, the new standards required by the sportswear branch include general standards and corresponding product standards.

The general standards are divided into general technical requirements for sports competitions, sports safety products, textile safety technical requirements and award taking clothes. The product standards are divided into four categories: "special sportswear", "civil pport clothing", "functional protective articles" and "sports socks" according to sports items, usage characteristics and functional methods.
