    News:
    Now many families with conditions will add children's furniture, but many parents do not know that children's furniture is not simple is a reduced version of adult furniture, it has its own quality requirements and safety performance requirements. But, you know what? Jiangsu Provincial Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau recently carried out supervision of children's furniture spot checks and risk monitoring found that the quality and safety of children's furniture is a real concern. E-commerce platform children's furniture products spot check 56 batches of pass rate of zero spot check results show that supervision spot check 131 batches of children's furniture, including children's tables, children's chairs, children's cabinets and other products, qualified 46 batches, the pass rate is only 35%. In the unqualified batch, there are 64 batches of structural safety unqualified, 23 batches of formaldehyde release is not qualified, 5 batches of heavy metal content exceeded the standard, 1 batch of technical performance is not qualified, more than 80 batches of children's furniture warning mark is not qualified. The investigation found that these 23 batches of formaldehyde release of unqualified children's furniture are all board furniture, its formaldehyde release exceeded the standard mainly because of the density board used in board children's furniture, particle board, large core board, plywood and other production are using adhesive, which is a major cause of formaldehyde exceeding the standard. E-commerce platform sampling pass rate is the lowest understood, Jiangsu Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau this sampling of 131 batches of children's furniture samples, from the production enterprises sampling 27 batches, from the physical store to buy 48 batches, network e-commerce platform to buy 56 batches. Among them, 75 batches of samples samples from production enterprises and physical stores were sent to Suzhou Quality Inspection Group for testing, and 56 batches of samples purchased from the network platform were sent to Xuzhou City Quality Inspection Center for testing. According to Suzhou Quality Supervision Institute engineer Wang Haoming, they according to GB28007-2011 children's furniture general technical conditions, and GB18584-2001 interior decoration material wood furniture in the limit of harmful substances, children's furniture formaldehyde, warning signs, mechanical properties, heavy metal content and structural safety of the five items were monitored and spot checked. According to QB/T2929-2008 solvent-based ink solvent residue limit and its determination method, a risk monitoring of solvent residue project was carried out. According to reports, Suzhou City Quality Inspection Group and Xuzhou City Quality Inspection Center to take the same standards and methods at the same time testing. It was found that of the 27 batches samples sampled by enterprises, 23 batches were qualified, with a pass rate of 85%, 23 batches were qualified and 48% were qualified out of 48 batches purchased from brick-and-mortar stores, and 56 batches of samples purchased from e-commerce platforms had a pass rate of zero. In the e-commerce platform to buy these 56 batches of children's furniture, more than 96% of children's furniture structural safety problems, and more than 90% of furniture warning signs are not qualified, about 40% of formaldehyde content exceeded the standard, the most serious exceeded the standard up to 7 times. Non-solid wood, unnumbered furniture includes the vast majority of quality issues. According to inspectors, the reason for the relatively low pass rate of online furniture is mainly due to the current e-commerce platform furniture production enterprises, some small workshops, small enterprises blindly pursue low-cost sales and maximum profits, while the network sales platform lack of sound supervision, products not only do not have a perfect trademark brand, but also the existence of structural insecurity and toxic and harmful substances exceeding the standard. Structural safety half of the products failed testing, 131 batches of samples, there are 64 batches of structural safety unqualified, 23 batches of formaldehyde release is not qualified, 5 batches of heavy metal content exceeded the standard, 1 batch of technical performance is not qualified, more than 80 batches of children's furniture warning mark is not qualified. Even nearly half of children's furniture structure safety is not qualified, then, structural safety qualified children's furniture should have what standards? According to Xuzhou City Quality Inspection Center engineer Fang Zhengjie, structural safety qualified children's furniture, should have at least three aspects of the standard: first, there should be no dangerous sharp tip and edge, all corners and edge components should be rounded, angled treatment; The clearance of moving parts should be less than 5 mm, or greater than 12 mm, in order to prevent children's fingers from being stuck in small holes or gaps; Fang Zhengjie analysis that children's furniture manufacturers may know very little about our country's standards, research is not thorough enough, resulting in some of its specific indicators in the production design of defects. Formaldehyde exceeding the standard raw material itself is not qualified according to the national mandatory standards, children's furniture formaldehyde release should be less than or equal to 1.5mg/L. However, in the Jiangsu Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau of this spot check, 71 batches of solid wood children's furniture formaldehyde release volume all qualified, 60 batches of board furniture, nearly 40% of formaldehyde exceeded the standard. Inspectors believe that the main material density board, particle board, large core plate, plywood, etc. , in the production process are using adhesive, which is a major reason for the board furniture formaldehyde exceeding the standard. For example: artificial sheet is made of natural wood chips, wood, shavings and other non-toxic materials glued together. In the case of plywood, for example, a 12 cm piece of plywood usually requires 3-4 layers of natural wood and 5 kg of glue. If there is formaldehyde in the glue, then the plate is poisonous, with these plates to do furniture, furniture is toxic. Therefore, the basic source of toxic substances for home decoration is glue. Reporters have come to Nanjing Yuhuatai District board bridge decoration city field visit found that the adhesive used in the decoration is mainly several, white latex, decoration in the carpentry work needs to be used; Glue, now not much use, installation of the floor as long as the floor quality clearance, lock structure design is reasonable, can not use adhesive; According to Suzhou City Quality Supervision Institute engineer Xia Jin, formaldehyde release exceeded the standard of many reasons, which may be due to the production enterprise's management personnel quality awareness is not strong, no factory inspection or false factory inspection, and did not exceed the formaldehyde release of an effective control, but the most fundamental reason is the use of non-conforming raw materials caused by enterprises. "Especially in the case of toxic and harmful substances, the formaldehyde release and the pass rate of heavy metal content of 71 batches of solid wood children's furniture were 100%. And 60 batches of plate children's home with 23 batches of formaldehyde unqualified, and 5 batches of heavy metal content is not qualified, are easy to cause serious harm to children. Captain Shakin said. Some merchants do not really understand the provisions, over-reaction, such as the bird of a bow, busy opening holes in the cabinet, changing furniture handles and so on, prompting these businesses to act in a timely manner is not to protect children, but to avoid the loss of products banned from sale. "In fact, this is a problem that we have to face in many places, when we measure a thing, the standard is often the interests, not the care of others and society." Xia Jin said that these in the cabinet opening business, ignored a very important problem, now most of the children's furniture is board furniture, board furniture cover and sealing treatment, for the control of such artificial plate formaldehyde release has a very important role, flat white without any reason to open a few holes in the cabinet body, and do not seal the surface, artificially increased the amount of formaldehyde release of the plate, really can be said to be worthless. So what should be do with children's furniture purchased with formaldehyde exceeding the standard? Captain Xia Jin said, can be handled from three aspects: multi-door ventilation, when no one will furniture drawers, cabinet doors open, accelerate formaldehyde volatilization, the use of activated carbon or Mayan blue to remove formaldehyde, mild pollution can be adsorbed with activated carbon, heavy pollution is best decomposed with Mayan blue, because only adsorption easy to saturate after the release of formaldehyde into the air again, resulting in secondary pollution. "Mainly also from the source of control, as far as possible to buy solid wood furniture and safety label qualified products." Solvent residues up to more than 100 times the standard Jiangsu Province quality inspection center also consumer concern about the current mandatory standards for children's furniture did not involve benzene, toluene, xylene and other solvent residues carried out risk monitoring, the results found that more than 40% of children's furniture exceeds the solvent-based ink solvent residue limit of the relevant provisions. The monitoring results showed that 56 batches of children's furniture solvent residue exceeded the national standard of 10 mg per square meter, the highest reached 681 mg per square meter, 68 times over the standard. Benzene, xylene residue has 30 batches exceeded the relevant national standards of 3 mg per square meter, the highest has exceeded 400 mg per square meter, more than 100 times over the standard. According to Gu Yonghua, deputy director of the supervision department of Jiangsu Provincial Quality Bureau, solvents such as benzene and xylene are classified according to toxicity and are classified as the first type of solvents for human carcinogens. This kind of solvent residue exceeds the standard, will cause some harm to children in the process of using these furniture. "Children's furniture on our market now

    paint and coating materials, which is a major cause of solvent residues." Wang Haoming said, in addition, the thickness of paint coating, the impact on its solvent residue is very large, and some solid wood furniture surface is a layer of varnish, so its solvent residue content is relatively low. Some board children's furniture, the surface is usually colorful paint, thickness is also relatively high, so solvent residues are also relatively high. According to Wang Haoming, there is also a reason why the surface of the board furniture after putty treatment, on the one hand, increased the thickness of the paint, on the other hand, it will have a certain adsorption effect on some volatile harmful substances, which is also a cause of high solvent residues. On August 1, 2012, China's first mandatory national standard for children's furniture, "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture", was officially implemented, and made very detailed provisions on the edge and cutting-edge of children's furniture, limits of harmful substances, warning signs and other standards. For example, in plastic children's furniture, the total amount of lead benzoate does not exceed 0.1%, textile, leather children's furniture free potassium acid limit of no more than 30 mg, disable decomposable aromatic amine, children's furniture skin coating of the migratable elements arsenic, vanadium, chromium and other elements have made a clear limit. "But like all other standards, they can do very little without proper regulation and responsible oversight." Wang Haoming said that after the promulgation and implementation of the General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture, from the effect of implementation, the situation is not optimistic, the store or everywhere does not meet the requirements of children's furniture. "That's where we are right now, and the lack of integrity really keeps us on the back foot, moving slowly, whether it's businesses or consumers, to pay more cost and effort to prove themselves, or to prove it." Wang Haoming said. According to Gu Yonghua, deputy director of the supervision department of Jiangsu Provincial Quality Bureau, 131 batches of children's furniture, including children's tables, chairs, children's cabinets and other products, qualified 46 batches, the pass rate is only 35%. The main problems are formaldehyde release, structural performance, warning marking and heavy metals and other indicators. Although, this is only a common quality spot checks and tests, but the response to the problem is not optimistic, children are the hope of the family and society, child care and love, is the common responsibility of parents and society, all those responsible really shoulder their responsibilities, in order to ensure the healthy, happy and safe growth of our children.
