What is the certification procedure? Is the certification in line with the new national standard? In the face of reporters' questions, the shop assistant can never give a clear answer According to the reporter's observation, some so-called furniture certification marks are even obtained in the selection activities organized by the media For consumers, certification and logo bring advertising effect and inexplicable confidence "There is only one child in our family, but there are six adults The whole family's mind is on the child." A woman who is signing a purchase agreement told reporters She said a children's room was set up for the children in the new house she bought at home Like many parents, they pay more attention to the safety and environmental protection of children's furniture In contrast, time and money are not problems "It's just a matter of peace to buy here." "The furniture sold in the children's furniture store conforms to the use of all ages, and the products are also green and qualified products," said a mother to be who just bought a child and mother bed for nearly 5000 yuan However, when the reporter asked what certification agency the green label of these products came from, the mother did not know about the new national standard To a certain extent, parents' generous payment to their children is an important driving force for children's furniture market Parents often pay more attention to the product publicity of businesses, but ignore the relevant provisions of the new national standard Compared with the large shopping malls with a large number of brands, the days of small and medium-sized furniture stores are much bleaker In a building materials wholesale and retail market in Beijing's North Third Ring Road, the reporter saw that although some children's furniture brands here meet the requirements of the new national standard, such as the use of rounded edges and corners in bed cabinets, the use of paint free log color, etc., few customers are willing to stop A shopkeeper complained to the reporter: "now the children are very expensive Parents would rather spend more money to run in the mall than buy products here In fact, many of our products and shopping malls have the same supply " In fact, there is no need to "follow the feeling" to evaluate a children's furniture product The new national standard which was put into effect in August 2012 is just to fill the blank of Chinese children's furniture standard As a national standard, the standard specifies the terms and definitions, general requirements, safety requirements, warning signs, test methods, inspection rules and signs, instructions for use, packaging, transportation and storage of children's furniture, providing a scientific and authoritative reference for consumers However, some situations are still unsatisfactory According to some data, about 40% of the children in urban families have their own rooms and furniture, and the trend is increasing year by year However, according to the latest sampling information released by Guangdong Provincial Bureau of quality supervision, the unqualified rate of children's furniture is 64.4%, which is much higher than that of children's clothing and toys If children's furniture is not of good quality, it may bring life-long harm to children and even to a family So, where is the crux of the new national standard can't be implemented? Some insiders say that the furniture industry has a lot of maneuverable space and flexibility The number of irregular small and medium-sized enterprises accounts for about half of the total number of enterprises that produce and sell children's furniture in the market Market confusion, lack of strong basis for management, lack of authoritative research and management institutions and other factors have led to the current situation of many children's furniture industry with potential safety hazards "The crux now is that only Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 of the new national standard are mandatory, while most of the chapters are recommendable, lack of binding force on manufacturers, and many manufacturers' safety awareness is not in place, resulting in uneven implementation of national standards by children's furniture manufacturers." Zhang Chengzhi, Secretary General of Guangdong Furniture Association, said in an interview with the media He stressed that supervision should be strengthened "For children's furniture produced according to the new national standard, the production cost of the enterprise should be increased by 10% - 15%." Peng Hong, general manager of marketing center of Shenzhen Qicai life Furniture Co., Ltd., told reporters Because the company is in the leading position in the domestic children's furniture industry and one of the units participating in the drafting of the new national standard, there is no problem of bringing out the old and bringing out the new But for small and medium-sized enterprises, the impact of the new national standard on them is not small Before the production of furniture to be returned to the factory for improvement, production line to be rectified and adjusted, equipment to be updated, these all need huge investment of enterprises Peng Hong called on the whole society to pay attention to the implementation of the new national standard, to create safe and environmentally friendly products for children, and to provide them with a better living environment Among them, regulators, producers and consumers are indispensable elements Children's coatings for marketing concept related standards have not yet been introduced "61" International Children's day, many businesses are pushing so-called children's coatings However, some experts pointed out that children's coatings are not defined according to the relevant national standards, but the concepts created by coating manufacturers and distributors to promote the packaging of such products In response to this situation, the reporter visited a number of building materials market There is no substantial difference with ordinary coatings reporter in some building materials market found that the price of coatings for children's room is not low Take a paint store visited by the reporter as an example The price of a 5-liter children's paint is 650 yuan, and the price of the brand's common paint is only 120 yuan to 450 yuan And in the paint franchise store, the same price of children's paint is generally 700 yuan Why children's coatings are so expensive? Almost all the salesmen explain it with more environmental protection, safety and innocuity, but they can't provide more detailed proof materials Reporters carefully compared several products, but found that some brands of common paint and children's paint label ingredients are almost the same, the difference between the two is only packaging, children's paint on the packaging barrel marked with the word "children" A paint shop owner told reporters that there is no essential difference between children's paint and general environmental protection paint He told reporters that a children's paint in his store had been on the shelf for two years, and the sales volume was not very ideal due to its high price Hu Xiaozhen, an engineer of Shanghai Academy of Building Science (Group) Co., Ltd., said that the coatings without formaldehyde, VOC and benzene, which are called by the businessmen, are almost nonexistent In the test report of some coatings, although it is shown that some harmful substances are not detected, it can only be said that the content of harmful substances may be lower than the lowest value detected by the equipment, but it can not be said that the content of harmful substances in the coating is zero, and the test result is also related to the precision of the equipment Li Chen, director of the Environmental Resources Business Research Committee of Shanghai Lawyers Association and senior partner of Dacheng Law Firm, said that environmental protection coatings have national standards, and even if children's coatings are produced according to this standard, it is impossible to be completely non-toxic and harmless When consumers purchase environmental protection coatings, they can ask dealers to issue test reports to check whether the indicators in the test reports meet the national standards for environmental protection coatings It is reported that there are three main types of paint: furniture paint, toy paint and wall paint Furniture paint and toy paint have special national compulsory standards for children, and there are strict regulations on the limit of harmful substances However, for wall coating, such as interior wall coating, the current implementation is the national standard of the limit of harmful substances in interior wall coating of interior decoration materials revised in 2008, which does not specifically set specific provisions for children's coating The so-called children's coating is actually a concept of hype Li Chen
