The first "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" was officially implemented on August 1, 2012. The new national standard has been implemented for nearly two months, but there are still a large number of children's furniture products that are produced in the consumer market. Insiders pointed out that on the one hand, in order to reduce production costs, some merchants delay the replacement of new products; on the other hand, the lack of strict market supervision is also an important reason for manufacturers not complying with the new regulations in time. On August 1st, China’s mandatory national standard for children’s furniture for children aged 3 to 14 years was officially implemented. Although the new regulations have been implemented for more than two months, the reporters visited the market and found that the number of children's furniture in the consumer market that meets the new regulations is small, and the implementation of the new regulations is not good. In this regard, industry insiders said that the regulatory gap in the new national standard for children's furniture is an important factor that causes manufacturers to slack off and openly violate regulations. The new regulations to ensure children's safety The first "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" was officially implemented on August 1, 2012. The standard clarifies that the applicable age range for children's furniture is 3 to 14 years old, except for the sharp corners of children's furniture. In addition to the explicit provisions on protruding parts, cavities, gap size and stability, the new regulations also impose strict restrictions on the control of 10 toxic and hazardous substances including formaldehyde and soluble heavy metals. The amount of formaldehyde released continues the original limit requirement. The heavy metal content increases the content of four heavy metals such as antimony, arsenic, antimony and selenium. The azo (decomposable aromatic amine) in textile and leather fabrics is banned, and the phthalic acid in plastic products is banned. Dicarboxylic acid esters have also been subjected to corresponding content limits. The reporter learned that the "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" was proposed as early as 2008, but due to the interference of many factors, the implementation of this national standard has been put on hold for many years. Before the implementation of this national standard, the production of children's furniture in China has always followed the general standards of furniture, and there is no difference between adult furniture and adult furniture. However, general furniture standards are not necessarily particularly suitable for children in terms of safety and control of toxic and hazardous substances. The person in charge of the Hengda pinecone brand said that the birth of the national standard for children's furniture is a major breakthrough in the children's furniture industry in China. It makes up for the gap in the rules of children's furniture in the domestic market. The national standard for children's furniture is introduced to ensure the safety of parents. Children's furniture provides strong technical and policy support. Some of the products that do not meet the new regulations are still on sale. Although the General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture has been officially implemented, the reporters visited the consumer market and found that children's furniture that does not meet the new regulations is still being sold. In the furniture hypermarket near the Sijiqing Bridge in Beijing, a salesperson selling children's furniture enthusiastically introduced their children's furniture to reporters. The reporter saw that some of the children's furniture products of this brand have been designed according to the new national standards, such as the corner rounding design and the venting holes, but some children's tables use the corner anti-collision corners on the corners. Some tables are even sharp and angular, which are not in line with the new regulations for children's furniture. Later, the reporter went to the furniture store near Dazhong Temple. In the store, the reporter saw a bedside cabinet with obvious style. The drawer was equipped with a roller slide device. The consumer would pull it down with a little force. The reporter learned that the new national standard stipulates that the drawer push-pull parts of children's furniture should have anti-pulling devices. In addition, in the special area of ​​a furniture store, sales staff are selling a large number of furniture samples, and a children's furniture product is equipped with a bright glass component, which violates the requirements of the new national standard “not to use glass components below 1.6 meters†. In addition to the basic protective measures of children's furniture sold in the consumer market, the environmental protection of children's furniture is also problematic. Children's furniture has different odors, and it is difficult to distinguish the smell by the smell alone. When the reporter asked a children's furniture store to sell the relevant quality inspection, a salesperson said that all the furniture of the brand is a uniform certificate, and a single piece of furniture does not. The gap in market supervision is so obvious that children's furniture products that do not meet the new regulations in the consumer market are still being sold in large quantities, so why can the consumer market see non-compliance in the two months after the mandatory implementation of the mandatory national standards? Standard product? In this regard, the industry pointed out that loopholes in market supervision have become the main reason for business violations. Song Guangsheng, secretary general of the China Indoor Environmental Monitoring Committee, said that regulation is the key to achieving the desired results of the new national standards. First, there are still many families who are not aware of the possible dangers of children's furniture. Even if they realize that there is no effective monitoring method for family use; the second is the enforcement of government regulatory authorities, which is an important guarantee for the effectiveness of the new national standards. In fact, whether it is children's furniture or children's clothing, its environmental performance has an important relationship with the environmental safety performance of materials, paints and dyes. Some experts pointed out that the environmental indicators of plates and paints of different production batches are not static, and the test report only refers to one of the products of a certain batch, and it cannot represent that all products of the same factory must be all qualified. The environmental indicators for children's clothing do have the same appearance as above. Therefore, in order to effectively monitor the environmental safety of children's homes, including children's furniture and children's clothing, the relevant management departments must regularly conduct high-frequency quality sampling of children's household products every year or even quarterly.
