Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 12 (Reporter Zhao Wenjun) Many young mothers are keen to buy diapers imported from abroad. Have you heard of medical-grade diapers? The reporter learned from the Second Health and Safety Forum and the National Symposium on the Application of Health and Health Science and Technology Support Technology that the R&D and production of sanitary products such as diapers and sanitary napkins in China’s market have more stringent health and safety certification standards for medical care.
Statistics show that in 2018, the market sales of diapers in China reached 51 billion yuan. Experts attending the meeting said that the quality standards of China’s diaper industry are slightly broad in terms of safety and performance indicators, which cannot meet the differentiated needs of different consumers for health products.
Ho-bin Jeong, director of Zhongwei ‘an (Beijing) Certification Center, said that medical-grade diapers and other sanitary products refer to products with higher health and safety indicators and other characteristics than ordinary products, which are suitable for occasions and people with high nursing requirements, with stricter health indicators, more demanding performance indicators and more detailed safety standards.
Taking baby diapers as an example, compared with the national standard GB 15979-2002, the medical standard has five times stricter total bacterial colonies, and the total fungal colonies are stipulated as "not detectable", and the number of pathogenic bacteria is doubled. Compared with the national standard GB/T 28004-2011, in terms of performance indicators, it has greatly improved three indicators and added four absorption performance indicators, which further highlights the application performance of diapers. From the perspective of safety indicators, 17 safety indicators have been added, including heavy metal content, plasticizer content, formaldehyde and migratory fluorescent whitening agent.
Ho-bin Jeong said that by the end of 2018, 17 enterprises in China had applied to join the medical standard certification and launched medical standard health products. At present, Zhongwei ‘an (Beijing) Certification Center has undertaken the certification and accreditation science and technology support project of CNCA, including children’s rehabilitation management, service certification research and development of primary medical institutions, and technology research and development of medical care combined with pension certification. Through technology research and development and standard formulation, enterprises are encouraged to further improve product quality and service quality.
