On August 1 this year, the national standard "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" will be implemented soon. According to the reporter's understanding, China's current standard "Limits of Hazardous Substances in Wood Furniture for Interior Decoration Materials" only imposes restrictions on four heavy metals such as cadmium, chromium, lead and mercury, and the "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" is added on this basis. The limited standards for four heavy metals such as antimony, selenium, arsenic and antimony have undoubtedly improved the quality threshold of children's furniture.
When reporters visited Beijing's Lanjingli home and the home of furniture and building materials, they found that many manufacturers of children's furniture, adult furniture and office furniture could not produce heavy metal content test reports. Although consumers' environmental awareness has improved, few people have asked about the heavy metal content of furniture when choosing furniture.
Wang Jing, a professor-level senior engineer of China Building Materials Science Research Institute, said in an interview with this reporter that heavy metal is one of the important items that the country requires furniture manufacturers to test. Four kinds of heavy metal testing items have been added to children's furniture, which shows that China's furniture Related standards are becoming more and more strict. With the advancement of technology and economic development, the increase of heavy metal limit requirements for adult furniture and office furniture is an inevitable direction.
Most furniture are not tested for heavy metals
On June 10th, the reporter went to the Baiqiang International Home Furnishing Mall in Beijing's North Third Ring Road, where various products of the top 100 furniture, including children's furniture and office furniture, were gathered. According to the staff, these children's furniture are only coated with a thin layer of environmentally friendly paint on the surface, all furniture is environmentally friendly and quality tested. At the request of the reporter, the staff showed the furniture quality test report to the reporter. After careful review, the reporter found that no matter whether it is children's furniture or other furniture, there is no heavy metal detection project in the test report.
The reporter then went to the Lanjingli family Dazhongsi store. At the Fleet Danish Children's Furniture Museum, the staff told reporters that the brand products meet EU furniture standards and are stricter than domestic furniture standards. Furniture products. Although the staff's verbal promotion is tempting, it does not produce any test reports on the heavy metal content of furniture by any domestic authority.

The children's furniture produced all meet the EU standards and adopt environmentally friendly water-based paint to ensure environmental protection and health.

The staff said that the furniture in the store is in line with national standards, and there is no problem of excessive heavy metals, but they are unable to provide corresponding tests. report.
The fact that furniture does not contain heavy metals is suspected of misleading
In the investigation, the reporter found that the sales staff often boasted: "Our furniture uses environmentally friendly paint or water-based paint, does not contain heavy metals, and does not need to be tested."
The promotional color page provided by the staff of the Fleiss Danish Children's Furniture Museum to the reporter shows: "The surface of the product uses the world's most advanced plant painting process, without adding thinner materials, fundamentally eliminates harmful chemical materials such as heavy metals. Even children Bite the furniture without any harm to the body."
At the Columbine Children's Furniture Showroom, the staff said: “The brand of children's furniture has 13 colors, and consumers can customize it according to their needs.
