Children's furniture can't be "children's play" Enterprise's implementation of the new national standard is weak

Since the implementation of the General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture last year (hereinafter referred to as the “New National Standard”), children's furniture has its own implementation standards different from adult furniture, and consumers have added more peace of mind to the purchase of children's furniture. However, recently, local regulatory authorities have frequently exposed the problem of unqualified children's furniture products in the market, causing consumers' worries.

The famous national children's furniture brand new national standard is not effective

Recently, the Shaanxi Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision announced the release of the results of spot checks on the product quality supervision in the third quarter of 2013. Among them, the quality of children's furniture products was supervised and spot-checked, among which children's furniture products of many well-known children's trademarks were sampled. The spot check found that there were 3 batches of samples that did not meet the standard requirements, and the formaldehyde emission and product structure safety items related to children's furniture products were not up to standard.

The reporter checked the product on the website of the Happy Station Furniture, which was found to be unqualified in formaldehyde emission. The product was introduced as follows: The product is a combination of board and wood, using E0 grade and E1 grade environmental protection panels, and the environmental protection degree is as high as 100%. Recently, the reporter found in the field visit of a happy shop furniture store in a large store that this problem product that was detected to be unqualified in formaldehyde emission is still available in the market. The salesperson said that the product "can pay for the order immediately, requiring 50 days of delivery time."

Zhu Changling, chairman of the China Furniture Association, said that the amount of formaldehyde released in the product is more or less, not only related to the materials of the furniture, but also the processing technology determines whether the product is environmentally friendly. Because the plate will pass through the process of drilling and sealing, if the sealing is not tight and the system hole is not tightly sealed, the formaldehyde contained in the plate will penetrate from the door panel and system hole with poor sealing.

The Shaanxi Provincial Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau also reported in the third quarter of 2013 that the product quality supervision and inspection report of the Italian imported children's brand furniture Columbini, the bedside table with the specification CV7743N was unqualified due to the safety structure (edge ​​and tip). According to the "New National Standard", the corners of children's furniture products need to be rounded, cabinets should be reserved for vents, and children's furniture should be marked with warning signs at appropriate locations.

When the reporter visited, it was found that the children's products in a large store in Columbini did not have the price and model price of the products, but many bedside products had obvious angular problems. In Columbini's product catalogue, a number of bedside tables without chamfers are also available for sale. According to industry insiders, although the implementation of the new national standard requires the supervision of relevant departments, in the final analysis, enterprises need to assume the responsibility and awareness of safety for consumers. This should be the consensus of the whole society.

Quality inspection report is hard to find

For many consumers, there is a certain understanding of the children's furniture "New National Standard", but when buying products in the market, it is not so easy to see whether the products meet the inspection report of the "New National Standard".

When the reporter visited, it was found that when asked whether the children's furniture products were environmentally friendly or met the "new national standard", the sales staff often verbally introduced the products "strictly in line with national standards" and "absolute environmental protection." Only when the reporter asks about the related issues such as sheet materials and quality inspection reports, will the materials used in the furniture products be introduced, and more sales staff will not actively present the “green” certificate and quality inspection report of the products.

The reporter learned that for children's furniture, in addition to formaldehyde content standards and structural safety issues, products containing soluble heavy metals such as lead, chromium, mercury, etc. will also seriously harm children's health. Therefore, relevant national standards impose restrictions on heavy metals in wood furniture and children's furniture. However, manufacturers of children's furniture products often do not provide reports on the content of heavy metals.

According to industry insiders, the current children's furniture lacks a heavy metal content test report, indicating that furniture manufacturers pay little attention to national standards, and the relevant state departments are not well regulated. Qualified furniture products with national standards for heavy metal limits have been implemented. If heavy metal testing reports cannot be provided to consumers, then its “qualified quality” is questionable.

â–  Purchase reminder

Check the safety of children's furniture structure

According to the provisions of the "New National Standard", when purchasing children's furniture, parents should check whether the edges and edges of the children's furniture are rounded, and the contactable dangerous corners of the product below the ground level of 1600 mm should also be rounded. And the radius of the rounding is not less than 10 mm, or the length of the inverted arc is not less than 15 mm.

The new regulations stipulate that the product has an airtight and confined space, and the interior should be provided with a vent. If the product does not have an exit hole, you should ask the manufacturer carefully and choose carefully.

Request for quality inspection report

Many sales people introduce that raw materials are imported or reach the E0 level, which consumers consider to be environmentally friendly. In fact, the quality of raw materials does not mean that the quality of finished furniture is good. Finished furniture also includes many aspects such as production process and paint. When purchasing furniture, it is necessary to look at the quality inspection book for the detection and identification of the finished product. If the consumer pays more attention to the heavy metal content, you can check whether the product meets the requirements of GB18584-2001 "Limited harmful substances in wood furniture for interior decoration and decoration materials" and GB28007-2011 "General technical conditions for children's furniture", and ask the merchant for metal content. Test reports to see the heavy metal content, the lower the heavy metal content, the less harmful to children. Also note that the object of the test is a simple sheet or a paint. If the test is only for the board, consumers need to understand the environmental friendliness of the paint used by the manufacturer.

Choose furniture with less adhesive

Many qualified products of the board can also detect the unqualified content of formaldehyde and other heavy metals. This is because the coatings and adhesives of the products are not environmentally friendly. Therefore, it is best to choose a furniture with a small amount of binder, which has a relatively low formaldehyde content. If you have doubts about the paint coating of the product, it is best to choose solid wood and wood-colored furniture to reduce the heavy metal hazard contained in the unqualified paint.

Complaint according to regulations

When consumers purchase furniture, they try to choose the furniture that will be available for a period of time after the implementation of the new standard, because the manufacturer will have a certain amount of inventory before the implementation of the new standard. Consumers may complain to the Consumers Association or the National Quality Inspection Department due to product quality problems or damage caused by non-compliance with the design.
