New School Uniform Standards Set in Russia for Quality and Durability
Roskachestvo, the Russian Quality System, and Rosstandart have developed a new standard for school uniforms, focusing on fabric composition, seams, labeling, and care instructions, as part of a broader quality regulation recently implemented in Russia [1][2].
According to the new standards, fabrics used for school uniforms must meet strict quality requirements to ensure durability, comfort, and suitability for children. The emphasis is on local or reliably sourced materials, due to import challenges caused by sanctions [2].
The new guidelines recommend that synthetic fibers should not exceed 55% of the uniform top's composition, with natural fibers (cotton, silk, linen) making up at least 45%. This is to ensure that the uniforms breathe well and allow air to pass through [3].
School uniforms should have strong, even seams that reflect high tailoring standards to withstand frequent wear and washing. High-quality stitching is critical for garment longevity and maintaining uniform appearance over time [1].
Uniforms must include clear labels indicating fabric composition, size, and care instructions. Proper labeling helps consumers identify care needs and ensure correct handling [1]. The bottom of school uniform pants should be neatly finished, adding to the overall appearance and quality of the uniform [4].
Roskachestvo advises that school uniform seams should be strong, and it is better to prefer items that can be both dry-cleaned and washed for easy maintenance [5]. The item should be labeled as children's, teenage, or school clothing for clarity [6].
These recommendations were reported by Explaining.ru, and it is important to note that adult clothing items have less stringent requirements [7]. For full authoritative details, consulting the official Roskachestvo or Rosstandart publications on the new GOST standards for school uniforms is recommended.

In light of the new school uniform standards established in Russia, focusing on quality and durability, there is an increased emphasis on the science of textile composition, health-and-wellness of fabric choices, and lifestyle considerations for children. Furthermore, this regulation promotes education-and-self-development opportunities, as parents and consumers become more aware of the importance of proper labeling and care instructions for their children's clothing.
