Formaldehyde was not qualified in 32 batches, azo dyes failed in 56 batches, and 3 batches of azo dyes were not removed. qualified In addition, the remaining unqualified cases were found in the inspection of textile products for export.

The main reasons for this situation are: some foreign customers are buying products in random market temporarily. They only ask for the style and specifications of textiles, and do not require the internal physical and chemical properties. In addition, when some foreign trade companies choose factories or suppliers, they do not seriously assess their quality control ability, and only use price as the selection standard. At the same time, due to the price control of raw and auxiliary materials and the increase of workers' prices and so on, some factories are using low price fabrics, resulting in excessive standards.
