On October 31, the 2024 Annual meeting and standard training meeting of Functional Textiles Branch of China Industrial Textile Industry Association was held in Foshan Shanxi Qiao Town, Guangdong. Li Guimei, President of China Industrial Textile Industry Association, Xia Dongwei, President of Functional Textiles Branch of Middle Class Association and former president of Qingdao University, and representatives of functional textile related industry chain units attended the meeting. Zhu Ping, Secretary General of the Functional Textiles Branch of the Middle Class Association and professor of Qingdao University, presided over the meeting.

Xia Dongwei introduced in the work report and future work outlook of the Sub-committee that functional textiles are closely related to industrial textiles and are an important focus of the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry. With the continuous expansion of the market scale of functional textiles, the standard system in this field at home and abroad is also being established and improved. The existing standards can not meet the high functional requirements of individual protective textiles, automotive textiles and other fields. The testing and evaluation of functional textiles should not only test and evaluate the functionality of textiles, but also evaluate their safety performance and define the safety threshold. Therefore, the functional textile inspection and testing market and certification market will gradually expand.

With the progress of technology, it is urgent to give a clear definition of functional textiles, improve the functional performance standards and systematic evaluation system, effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and guide the industry's scientific and technological innovation and technological progress. Xia Dongwei said that in the future, it is urgent to improve the entry threshold of inspection and testing institutions in the field of functional textiles, strengthen industry self-discipline, and expand business areas. In the next step, the sub-committee will continue to strengthen the service capacity of the Sub-committee, play the role of the Sub-committee as a bridge, promote the publicity work of the Sub-committee, and strengthen industry exchanges and international exchanges.
