"The introduction of the new regulations will enhance the threshold of competition and prevent the market of products that are not up to standard in technology, which will accelerate the integration of industries."

For the first national standard of sportswear, the general technical specification for professional sportswear and protective products, which was launched in December 1st last year, Yang Shibin, deputy director of China Textile Industry Association and director of sportswear branch, said.

This is the first standard system of sportswear in China. It stipulates the technical features of testing methods and packaging for sportswear and protective products, and is suitable for professional sportswear and protective products produced mainly by textile woven fabrics.

Standards are the threshold, but they are also protection.

The introduction of industry standards to enhance the threshold of competition, to prevent the quality of products are flooded with the market.

The industry standard is also a technical protection for the standard production enterprises, so that competition can be carried out in a high level environment.

The implementation of the standard will greatly enhance the brand awareness of Chinese sportswear.
