Recently, at the Ubras 10th Anniversary Strategic Partner Appreciation Event, the launch ceremony for the group standard project "General Technical Specification for Comfort of Women's Knitted Underwear" was successfully held.
Currently, consumer demand for women's underwear continues to upgrade, with comfort, health, and personalization becoming mainstream pursuits. However, for a long time, comfort evaluation in the industry has relied on subjective feelings, lacking unified quantitative standards. Issues such as indentations and pressure points remain common. Moreover, with the rapid development of innovative categories like size-free and soft-support underwear, existing standards are no longer able to meet the industry's development needs. Establishing a dedicated technical specification for comfort is imperative.
The group standard being launched will focus on core dimensions such as fabric elasticity, pressure distribution, body-sensing fit, and gradient support. It aims to establish a full-chain technical specification covering material selection, pattern design, and finished garment quality control, effectively filling the gap in quantitative standards for underwear comfort. This will provide authoritative benchmarks for enterprise R&D and production, rational consumer purchasing, and market quality supervision.
Guests including Wang Jiangbo, Secretary-General of the China Textile Commerce Association; Zhang Yan, Director of the Ubras Lab Underwear Research Institute, Ubras Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd.; Kong Weiqing, Associate Researcher and Doctoral Supervisor at Donghua University·Ubras Underwear Materials Joint R&D Center; Yang Zhengzhi, Chairman of Qingyide Technology Group Co., Ltd.; Wu Zeqin, General Manager of Xinxing New Textile Technology (Longyan) Co., Ltd.; and Guo Sheng, General Manager of Tianfang Biao Testing & Certification Services Co., Ltd., jointly stepped on stage to press the start button.
This group standard was jointly initiated by the Underwear Professional Committee of the China Textile Commerce Association and Ubras Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., and has been officially approved for establishment by the association's Standardization Working Committee. The standard development brings together the collaborative efforts of leading industry enterprises, universities, research institutes, and testing and certification bodies. The initiation and implementation of this standard signify that the domestic women's knitted underwear industry has officially entered a new stage of standardized and data-driven comfort assessment. Moving forward, all industry parties will use this standard as a lever to consolidate efforts and work together, promoting the continuous upgrading of the intimate apparel industry toward more technologically advanced and high-quality directions.
