The new standard for furniture testing is expected to be implemented by the end of the year

Recently, three national standards review conferences, such as "Limits of Hazardous Substances in Wooden Furniture", "Climate Chamber for the Detection of Volatile Organic Compounds in Furniture", and "Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds in Furniture", hosted by the National Furniture Standardization Technical Committee Held in Shanghai, the regulations on harmful substances in furniture are clearly stipulated, and the “health” of furniture will have updated standards, which will make home safety more assured.

Zhu Changling, chairman of the China Furniture Association, said that the new national standard is more scientific and rigorous, with more varied testing content and more comprehensive protection for consumers.

In the previous furniture detection methods, it was always a thankless effort and a lot of money, there were loopholes, but it was finally detected that the bamboo basket was fetching water-an empty space. At present, China's environmental quality inspection of wooden furniture is implemented by the national "Interior Decoration Materials-Limits of Hazardous Substances in Wooden Furniture", and the only items that require testing are formaldehyde and heavy metals. The method of testing formaldehyde is to take a 0.075 square meter sample from a set of furniture, saw it into ten small samples of 5cm × 15cm and place it in a desiccator. After 24 hours, test the free formaldehyde concentration released. This standard actually targets specific panels, not finished furniture.

Finished furniture and complete furniture are essentially different from the test samples. First of all, the material of the finished furniture and the complete set of furniture has great differences in the actual area and the area of ​​the test sample. For example, it takes more than 3 square meters to make an ordinary writing desk, and more than 10 square meters to make a bedroom cabinet. Even the board area required for a bedside cabinet is about 1.5 square meters. The area difference between the two is dozens or even hundreds of times. The results of this standard test cannot objectively and truly reflect the release of harmful substances in the finished furniture.

It is reported that the new standard is expected to be implemented as soon as the end of this year. The implementation of the new national standard will better protect consumers' home safety. According to Zhu Changling, the revised new furniture testing standard will reflect its advantages in three aspects. First, the overall test results are more reliable. Second, non-destructive testing with low testing risk. Third, the environmentally friendly furniture has changed its name.
