In view of the fact that the process ing of tex tile p roducts usu ally have to adding variou s kinds of 
dyes, auxiliaries and finishing agents, and  the agents m ay contain more or less harm ful 
chem icals. When these tiny chem icals in the tex tiles accumulate to  a ce rtain amount, th ey will 
cause harm ful ef fects to  the sk in, and even the hum an health. For protecting the health and 
safety of babies, the BS MI, after having consulte d with inte rested p arties, intends to  regula te 
Babies'  garm ents and clothing accessories.
