News: Shanghai Quality Supervision Bureau on the eve of the National Day issued the "wallpaper product quality safety risk warning" pointed out that the plasticizer phthalates on animals have a certain teratogenic, mutagenic effect, test results show that 34 batches of wallpaper sample plasticizer content is higher than the reference limit of 0.1%. As soon as this news came out, the Internet quickly began to spread wallpapers may cause cancer articles, some exposed plasticizers exceeded the standard wallpaper brand reputation seriously damaged, and even by the sales platform off the shelf. Zhang Hong, secretary-general of the wallpaper branch of the China Building Decoration Materials Association, publicly refuted the wallpaper's "carcinogenicity statement" on October 15th, arguing that the above-mentioned risk warning results were not effective in enforcing the law and clearly exaggerating the dangers of plasticizers.
September 30, the Shanghai Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau issued the "Wallpaper Product Quality Safety Risk Warning" (hereinafter referred to as "Risk Warning") announcement, using GB/T21928-2008 "the determination of phthalates in food plastic packaging materials", GB6675.1-2014 "Toy Safety Part 1: Basic Specifications" and other national standards and requirements for Shanghai production, Volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and plasticizers (DBP, DEHP, BBP, DNOP, DINP, DIDP) items were sold for risk monitoring, and of the 58 batches of samples collected, 53 batches of plasticizers (DBP, DEHP, BBP) were detected, of which 34 batches contained 0.1% above the reference limit.
risk warning points out that wallpaper production process is easy to add phthalates plasticizer, research shows that phthalates on animals have a certain teratogenic, mutation-caused effect. Among them, pure paper and pure nonwoven paper wallpapers are not detected over-limit plasticizer (DBP, DEHP, BBP, DNOP, DINP, DIDP), and PVC material wallpaper plasticizer (DBP, DEHP, BBP) detection rate is high, it is recommended to buy PVC material wallpaper consumers, try to avoid children and this type of wallpaper touch and sucking.
the risk of early warning, immediately caused a stir in the wallpaper industry, the Internet began to spread wallpaper products may cause cancer articles, about wallpaper cancer-causing news in a short period of time on the Internet with hundreds of thousands of growth spread.
on the Internet crazy rumors that PVC wallpaper containing plasticizers may cause cancer, the other side of the association came forward to refute this claim. On October 15, Zhang Hong told reporters that the quality and safety risk warning is only a warning role for the industry, to assist in the formulation of industry standards, the purpose is not to punish enterprises, nor is it a national sampling, and does not have any law enforcement effect.
" In accordance with the General Administration of Quality Inspection on strengthening product quality and safety risk monitoring guidance, quality inspection departments to carry out risk monitoring, for the existence of product quality and safety risks, first of all, through the issuance of notices, interviews and other means, to urge enterprises to take corrective measures to eliminate or reduce risks, and report the results of correction. For the safety risks of industry product quality, industry authorities and trade associations should be informed in a timely manner, promote the improvement of industry management system, strengthen industry norms and self-discipline. Zhang hong said, "This wallpaper security risk warning needs to inform my association, but from the detection of the announcement of the entire process did not implement this procedure, and quality inspection departments to carry out quality and safety risk monitoring has not appeared since the enterprise involved in the publication of the precedent." According
, plasticizer is a polymer material additive, colorless and odorless, mainly added in plastic processing to enhance flexibility. On June 1, 2011, the Ministry of Health announced that phthalates in plasticizers would be added to the list of non-edible substances and food additives that may be illegally added in food. Zhanghong said that plasticizer is the indicator of testing food, is not the indicator of testing wallpaper, take plasticizer to say things, obviously unreasonable, "wallpaper materials are divided into pure paper, non-woven, PVC and other categories, of which PVC wallpaper contains plasticizer, Shanghai quality According to GB/T 21928-2008 "the determination of phthalates in food plastic packaging materials" on wallpaper products for testing, is not scientific, there is no foreign wallpaper specifically for plasticizer content testing related standards."
as for the possibility that the plasticizer may cause cancer, Zhangclear that this is an exaggeration. "Plasticizer has been recognized in the international community, the normal temperature state is not volatile, not easy to migrate, strong stability, only the entrance can be teratogenic, mutant, but who will eat, to eat wallpaper?"
wallpaper industry insiders revealed that the Shanghai Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau issued a risk warning there are many doubts, in addition to ZhangHong called the procedure is not correct, does not have the effect of law enforcement, has not yet given this risk warning marked the level of harm, thus causing unnecessary panic to consumers. In response to the association's public questioning, the reporter contacted the Shanghai Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau responsible for spot-checking and testing of the supervision office, until the time of writing, no one answered the phone.
warning of the risk, the Internet appeared on the wallpaper may cause cancer articles, people suspect that some people behind the opportunity to prank the wallpaper industry. Some of the wallpaper enterprises exposed to plasticizer exceeding the standard not only reputation damage, but also by the sales platform punishment, such as the wallpaper brand called "Xinwang" because of the list of plasticizer exceeding the standard, by a large e-commerce platform off the shelf processing.
A wallpaper industry veteran told reporters that the quality inspection department to carry out sampling is the enterprise product quality supervision of the conventional behavior, if the Shanghai Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau issued this wallpaper product quality safety risk warning really as the Association refers to does not have the effectiveness of law enforcement, then what is the purpose of publishing it? How to solve these doubts remains to be seen.
