A look at China’s new product standard – FZ/T 73067-2020 – for cool touch knitted clothing. End Quote

(1888PressRelease) August 17, 2021 - On April 1, 2021, China’s new product standard for knitted clothing that feels cool to touch – FZ/T 73067-2020 – came into effect. This standard covers knitted clothing made predominantly from knitted fabrics with a contact transient cool feeling function. It does not apply to clothing made for children aged less than 36 months.

‘Transient cool feeling’ is defined as the rapid heat and temperature drop when skin comes into contact with the lower temperature fabric. The cool feeling is generated in the brain via the reflection of the sensory nerve endings in the skin.

Issued by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and included in No. 48 announcement of approved industry standards in December 2020, FZ/T 73067-2020 contains requirements relating to internal quality and appearance quality.

To learn more about these requirements review SGS’s original SafeGuard 112/21.
