Abstract
The purpose of this study is to reflect on safety requirements for children’s clothing, based on the standardization proposed by the ABNT (Technical Standardization Brazilian Association). Bibliographic research and case studies were considered on writing this work. We also discuss the importance of adding other safety requirements to the current standardization, as well as the increasing of the actual age range specified by the ABNT, following the children’s clothing safety standardizations in Portugal and the United States, also stated here.
