On the Children's Day, Mr. Liu wanted to buy a children's combination bed as a gift for the 6-year-old daughter. However, for several weekends, the major home stores in Beijing have not been selected. Mr. Liu told reporters that "there is no shortage of children's furniture in the store, but each product is similar. The guides are also very diverse. There is no reference standard and no authoritative guidance. I really don't know who to trust."
In desperation, Mr. Liu initiated a call for help from reporters, and hoped that the reporter would help to recommend a combination bed with the best environmental performance. With questions, the reporter visited the major children's furniture stores in Beijing.
The standard of testing is mixed, and the environmental protection of children's furniture is worrying.
The reporter visited a number of Beijing home stores, and found that almost every store opened a special children's home area, the location is conspicuous and the area is also large. Children's furniture brands are even more dazzling. There are international brands such as Fulaisha and Mannich, as well as local brands such as Colorful Life and Ximengbao. However, the reporter found that the slogans produced in almost every brand store are all based on the words “environmental protection†and “personalityâ€, and the similarity is extremely high.
In order to more clearly distinguish the differences between the brands, the reporter asked the shopping guides of each store around the materials and testing standards. In the face of reporters' inquiries, the answer given by the guides is varied. The formaldehyde-only test standards include Japanese standards, European E1 standards, American standards, Swiss standards, and domestic furniture testing standards. However, in-store reporters can rarely see relevant test creatificate. Which standard is best for children's furniture? Which standard test children's furniture is the most environmentally friendly? The guides' explanations are similar. They all say that their products are the most environmentally friendly and the products are most suitable for children..... After several rounds of inquiries, the reporter is still ignorant of the environmental protection knowledge of purchasing children's furniture.
With questions, the reporter interviewed Yu Xiusu, secretary general of the Beijing Furniture Industry Association. Yu Xiusu told reporters that in addition to a few imported brands and well-known domestic brands applying foreign standards, most of the domestic children's furniture sets are the testing standards for adult furniture. The reporter's investigation was informed that there are currently more than 200 enterprises engaged in the children's furniture industry in China, 70% of which belong to small and medium-sized enterprises.
The industry pointed out that these companies have rough processes and opaque raw materials, and their environmental performance is worrying. Although some imported brands and some big brands will implement foreign standards, the huge children's furniture market can only be a drop in the bucket.
Environmental protection is not up to standard
China's formaldehyde content testing for furniture is currently in use in the GBGB18584-200 standard introduced in 2001. In this standard, the emission of formaldehyde is not more than 1.5mg/L. Yu Xiusu, secretary-general of the Beijing Furniture Industry Association, said in an interview with reporters that "this standard is too loose for children's furniture. The fact is that most of the domestic children's home furnishing enterprises adopt this standard."
Song Guangsheng, secretary general of the China Indoor Environmental Monitoring Committee, said in an interview that children's furniture, as a child-specific furniture, is usually placed in places where children, such as living rooms and kindergartens, often appear. Once a child has a problem, it is too dangerous for a child who is still developing. Song Guangsheng told reporters that the China Indoor Environmental Monitoring Working Committee has received too many cases of environmental pollution caused by children's household products.
Song Guangsheng pointed out that all kinds of harmful substances hidden in furniture are closely related to the health of children, and they are fatally harmful to the development of the brain and kidneys. Small ones lead to frail diseases, and serious consequences are unimaginable. In addition, the design safety, structural safety, and safety of use can not be ignored. One of the mistakes caused by children is unpredictable.
The first mandatory standard is issued. There are clear regulations on environmental protection.
It is gratifying to note that the above-mentioned various industrial chaos will be regulated with the introduction of the General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture. Luo Wei, director of the Beijing Furniture Quality Supervision Station, told the reporter that the "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture", as the first mandatory standard for children's furniture industry in China, will be officially launched on August 1.
Luo Wei, who participated in the formulation of the General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture, revealed to reporters that the new standard has stricter regulations on children's furniture in terms of environmental protection and safety. The new standard has stricter restrictions on heavy metals, free formaldehyde and decomposable harmful substances, and requires that cabinet-type closed furniture must have a venting function.
In addition, the "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" also focuses on the structural installation of children's furniture and safety warning signs, and specifies the sharp corners, protruding parts, holes, gap size and stability of children's furniture, such as " The product should not be dangerously sharp and sharp, as well as sharp, angular."
In Luo Yan's view, the new standard not only greatly improves and improves the safety and environmental protection of children's furniture, but also ensures that children's furniture can be relied upon in production, transportation and sales. The upgrade and update of the industry and the development of the industry will play a positive role. In addition, the new standard will also play a good guiding role for consumers to buy children's furniture.
Enterprises call attention to the content of harmful substances such as lead and benzene
For the new standard, as the protagonist of this standard constraint, how do children's furniture companies react? The reporter interviewed a number of first-line children's furniture brand leaders.
Chen Xiaotai, president of Baiqiang Furniture, said that he will actively pay attention to the introduction of the new standard, and will adjust the product according to the new standard as soon as possible. However, Chen Xiaotai is not worried that the original products will not meet the standards after the new standard is issued. "The top 100 children's furniture is made of pure solid wood. The most stringent standards are applied in the process and testing standards. Zero".
Also as a local children's furniture brand, Cool Man Zhang Guohui told reporters that the new standard was introduced, and the product was upgraded as early as March. The materials were all E0 grade plates, and the test standards were adopted. Swiss General Technical Standards.
As a domestic successful agent of several children's furniture enterprises, Sun Shuwei, deputy general manager of A home, told reporters that the current children's furniture market is extremely irregular, and there are many phenomena of cutting corners and vicious competition. The introduction of new standards will largely eliminate poor children's furniture. Entering the market, it is also possible to eliminate unqualified furniture products and effectively regulate the development of the entire market. Sun Shuwei also pointed out that after the implementation of the new standard, A Home will communicate with the factory to ensure that the production will be organized according to the new standard, and those products that are or will not be up to standard will be shipped directly to the factory for sale.
Also acting as an agent, acting for Danish children's furniture Fulaisha and Mannich's Zhou Dayong told reporters that the introduction of the new standard has no major impact on imported children's furniture, because foreign children's furniture is mostly tested according to the indicators of children's toys. Zhou Dayong pointed out that there is a misunderstanding in the domestic furniture testing. The public has enlarged the role of formaldehyde in environmental protection, but has neglected the content of lead, mercury, benzene, xylene and other substances that are extremely harmful to children's brain and kidney. Industry attention.
Expert: The test report cannot judge whether the product is environmentally friendly
In the interview, many consumers said that they would wait for new products to be purchased after the new standards were implemented. "So, what kind of children's furniture is the most healthy?" In this regard, Song Guangsheng pointed out that it is impossible to judge whether the furniture is good or not and whether it is environmentally friendly. Children's furniture that can be sold in the formal market must have relevant national inspection reports, and it must be up to standard. "Children's furniture is a complicated problem, and it is not easy to judge and draw conclusions." Song Guangsheng exclaimed.
However, Song Guangsheng still gives a few points for consideration for consumers:
First, when purchasing children's furniture, we must carefully look at the test report of the furniture, and also pay attention to the object of the test report. The test report of the sheet, paint and finished furniture is very important. The lack of one is not enough to prove that the product is no problem;
Second, try to choose furniture with less adhesive, the more the binder, the higher the content of harmful substances such as formaldehyde;
Third, the environmental protection level of furniture plates from high to low is: solid wood, laminated timber, laminated timber, plywood, large core board, particle board, medium density board, so buy children's furniture as much as possible to choose solid wood material, because solid wood furniture uses sticky Less mixture and relatively environmentally friendly.
Fourth, when signing the sale and purchase, you must clearly write the environmental protection guarantee. If the merchant refuses to sign, it is best not to buy.
