Abstract

The article is devoted to one of the actual problems of today – establishing quality and safety of modern clothing. The problem of clothing safety has a particular relevance according to the child population due to the incomplete process of growth and development, sensitive of growing organism to external factors.

The object of research is a child's shirt of «DONI» company (Turkey) for boys 4-5 years made of filling-knitted uniformly dyed fabric, mixed according to the raw composition (cotton, polyester and elastane). The selected object is a common type of clothing for children of preschool age.

It was established that the current regulatory documents in Ukraine has not fully disclose all aspects of textile safety and especially children's clothing. Therefore, it is appropriate to continue the practice of harmonizing standards with the European Union and not to weaken state supervision in conformity.

As a result of studies it was found that the content of the raw ingredients does not comply with applicable regulatory documents as it includes fibers of cotton, polyester and elastane.

In terms of water absorption 12,3 % and breathability 183 dm3/(m2·s), the samples are within normal limits. The results of the odorimetry test show no smell (0 points) of the knitted fabric of the children's clothing. As for hygiene and safety indicators, knitted fabric of underwear children's products meet the requirements of regulatory documents, as well as the value of pH was 7,6 pH units; content of free and partially released formaldehyde was less than 0,3 mg/m3; residues of heavy metals that can extracted (mercury – 0,0043 mg/kg of arsenic – 0,0312 mg/kg, cadmium – 0,0489 mg/kg, copper – 0,52 mg/kg, lead – 0,16 mg/kg); content of pesticides was less than acceptable norm.
