The export testing standards for clothing and textiles mainly include component testing, color fastness testing, physical strength testing, and safety testing. The specific standards vary by country and region, and the following are some of the testing standards of major countries and regions:

American standards: including AATCC, ASTM, CPSC, etc. For example, textile ingredient labeling must comply with regulations such as 15 USC § 70, and wool product labeling must comply with regulations such as 15 USC § 68.
European standards mainly include EN, BS, DIN, and ISO standards. For example, the formaldehyde content in textiles must comply with the EN 14112 standard, and the formaldehyde content must not exceed 300 ppm.
Japanese standards: including JIS and other standards. For example, the formaldehyde content in textiles must comply with Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Order 34, the formaldehyde content in infant and toddler products must not exceed 20 mg/kg, and the formaldehyde content in skin contact products must not exceed 75 mg/kg.
Australian standards: including AS and other standards. For example, textile ingredient labels must comply with the AS/NZS 3839 standard, with a tolerance of 5% for fiber ingredient labels.

Testing items

Ingredient detection: Detecting the composition of clothing components, such as single component or multi-component classification.
Color fastness testing: testing the water resistance, sweat resistance, friction resistance, soap washing resistance, washing resistance, dry cleaning resistance, light resistance, light sweat composite, chlorine bleaching resistance and other properties of clothing.
Physical strength testing: Testing the quality of clothing, such as fracture strength testing, tear strength testing, pilling test, etc.
Safety testing: including product heavy metal detection, formaldehyde detection, odor detection, etc.

Testing process and common problems

Detection process: enterprises can declare through "Internet plus" or "single window", and choose to declare to the customs or entrust customs declaration enterprises to declare. When declaring, attention should be paid to the declaration deadline, accompanying documents, and declaration requirements for special commodities.
Common problem: Enterprises need to pay special attention to product classification, declaration deadline, and accompanying documents when importing and exporting textiles and clothing, to ensure compliance and efficiency of declaration
