[ China Wardrobe ] Since August 1, 2012, China's first special technical standard for children's furniture, "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture," has been implemented. It has made stricter regulations on children's furniture in terms of logo, safety and environmental protection. Claim. Experts reminded that when purchasing children's furniture, they should be wary of excessive harmful substances such as formaldehyde and heavy metals. At the same time, they should pay attention to the pollution of harmful substances in the indoor air. Simplified decoration and furniture setting are one of the main ways to reduce indoor pollution.
New national standard strengthens detection of harmful heavy metals
In fact, compared with ordinary furniture, children's furniture has higher requirements in production technology, safety and environmental protection, and detail design. However, due to the long-term lack of relevant national standards and industry standards for the production of children's furniture, most companies basically use the standard production of adult furniture. The new national standard implemented this time has set mandatory requirements for furniture products used by children aged 3 to 14 years, including safety requirements, warning signs, test methods and inspection rules.
In addition to the conventionally detected four toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury, chromium and cadmium, the new national standard for children's furniture has also added four harmful heavy metals such as antimony, bismuth, selenium and arsenic. Among them, cockroaches are prone to appear in paints, which can irritate the eyes, nose, throat and skin. Continuous contact can damage the heart and liver function. Inhalation of high levels of sputum can cause sputum poisoning. Symptoms include vomiting, headache, difficulty breathing, severe May cause death. In addition, arsenic and arsenic may also cause a variety of health threats, adversely affecting multiple organs of the human body such as the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, nervous system, and reproductive system. Long-term exposure to arsenic may induce skin cancer, lung cancer, and liver cancer. And many other cancers.
In addition, the new national standard prohibits the use of decomposable aromatic amines in leather and textile fabrics for children's furniture. This is a dye synthesized from carcinogenic aromatic amines. It is popular among many small and medium-sized textile companies because of its low price, strong tinting strength and bright and long-lasting color. However, its toxicity and carcinogenicity are more harmful than formaldehyde, and it is insoluble in water and cannot pass. The washing method is removed. Contact with human skin can cause a variety of malignant diseases, including bladder cancer, kidney cancer and so on.
In addition to strict requirements for safety indicators, the new national standard has also been strictly regulated for some structural safety issues that are specific to children. Glass parts should not be used where the height of the ground or the height of the child's standing surface is less than 1.6 meters, so as not to scratch the child. In order to prevent children from suffocating into furniture like a wardrobe , the national standard requires that the closed furniture be provided with ventilation vents.
Many children's furniture is difficult to meet new standards
The reporter saw in several large home stores that there are a wide variety of children's furniture on the market. Among them, the edges of most computer tables and chairs and lockers have been rounded and chamfered, which is very soft. But some of the computer desks and lockers have sharp edges and edges on the drawers. In addition, individual furniture stores are still selling children's furniture that is not up to standard, the most obvious of which is that closed furniture does not have ventilation vents in accordance with the requirements of the new national standard.
The reporter noticed that although many children's furniture are labeled with "use of 14 years old or above", sales personnel still sell to parents of young children. At a furniture store, a 6-year-old parent asked the children's desk to see the sticker on the desk, and the salesperson said that the children under the age of 14 had no problem with the furniture and tried to recommend it. .
The reporter's investigation found that most parents are not clear about the new standards for children's furniture. Many parents admit that although they pay great attention to the safety of children's furniture, they have no research, and more rely on brand recognition. Some parents said that in addition to the style, they will smell a pungent smell when they purchase, and then see if there will be any corners that pose a safety hazard to the child. As for whether or not it contains harmful substances, it is difficult to know how much harm it poses to children.
Experts believe that at present, many children's furniture in the furniture market are made of medium-density board and particle board. Due to the large amount of adhesive used, the health problems of formaldehyde and other harmful substances in children's furniture are more serious than other furniture. . In addition, infants and young children often touch the furniture by hand, and may also ingest a large amount of toxic substances when sucking their fingers.
The more colorful the color, the more "poisonous"
Experts remind consumers to pay attention to the quality of children's furniture itself, especially the harmful substances such as formaldehyde. At the same time, they should pay attention to the pollution of harmful substances in the air of the entire children's room or even the whole family. The simplified decoration and furniture setting are to reduce indoors. One of the main ways of pollution. In addition, when purchasing children's furniture, do not choose those products that are too bright and fancy, try to choose natural materials such as pure solid wood.
Children's furniture is generally rich in color and bright, and consumers are most likely to be attracted by beautiful shapes and gorgeous colors when purchasing children's furniture. Institutional tests have shown that the brighter the color of the paint, the more heavy metals it contains, such as lead, which is mainly caused by the lead compounds contained in the paint. Tests have shown that among the 23 samples containing lead paint, the orange paint has the highest lead content, followed by yellow, green and brown. Therefore, parents should not choose furniture that is too bright.
Experts remind parents that when purchasing children's furniture, first check the factory inspection report and environmental certificate. Because furniture is very professional, it is difficult to distinguish consumers by their methods of smell, color, and sound. Consumers are advised to choose well-known brands in large shopping malls in order to ensure the quality of furniture and to defend their rights when disputes arise. If the consumer suspects that there is a quality problem, he can make a complaint to the quality inspection and industrial and commercial departments.
