How does the home industry respond to the new standard?

This year, what are the new standards related to residential decorative building materials? How will brand companies and home stores ensure product compliance?

What new standards have been introduced in the home industry in 2014? It was recently learned from the management department of the Nanjing decoration and decoration industry that this year, apart from the revision of the National Standard for Limits of Hazardous Substances in Wood Furniture, there are three new standards related to home improvement spending. The introduction of the new national standard of "Mechanical Performance Test of Furniture" will provide guarantees for the "failure of furniture"; second, the national standard of air purifiers will improve the performance indicators for different pollutants; the third is the national standard for the faucet industry. "Ceramic Sealed Tap" will make a clear limit to the amount of heavy metal that will be tapped.

The three "new standards" released during the year have a new level of protection for the use of furniture in the past. In addition to environmental monitoring and material testing, there has been no test standard for "stability". In previous incidents of consumer complaints, situations such as the collapse of a wardrobe, the broken leg of a stool, and the like often occurred. In fact, the furniture is not strong enough to carry multiple objects. No matter what kind of material is used for production, it must be tested with general technical standards for mechanics. From May 2014, the new national standard of "Mechanical Performance Test of Furniture" will be formally implemented. This standard involves the strength, durability and stability of furniture such as table, chair and stool, cabinet and single bed. In the past, consumers could not verify whether the furniture was strong or not. After the implementation of the new national standards, consumers could view experimental data on the mechanical properties of the furniture.

The air purification area must be clear because of the increase in haze problems, once urging the sale of air purifier products. In the market, air purifiers of various types and types of steamed bread occupies the eyes of consumers. It is understood that the previous national standards only "electrical safety standards" and "bacterial sterilization standards" are mandatory, and "purification performance standards" are recommended, which can not help but make people doubt: the purification performance of these products Is it really true that some merchants are talking about this? In 2014, the National Standards Commission announced that it has initiated the revision of the existing air purifier national standard GB/T18801-2008 "Air Purifier." The new standards improve the product technical indicators for different pollutants, refine the test methods, and increase the conversion method of the applicable area and air cleanliness, which will provide the basis for consumers to purchase related products.

Faucet lead precipitation "the most severe in history"

In 2013, the shadow of faucet lead overshadowed the consumers. Just after entering 2014, the exposure rate of tap water exceeds the standard has not only ceased, but has continued to increase. Even the top international brands have failed to escape. In order to ensure the quality of home improvement, high-end taps purchased at high prices are not up to the standard. This has disappointed many consumers. Recently, according to the relevant person in charge of the AQSIQ, the newly revised national standard for ceramic faucet industry, “Ceramic Sealed Tap”, has set a clear limit on the amount of heavy metal extracted from the faucet. At present, the standard is soliciting opinions from relevant ministries and commissions. The National Standardization Management Committee will release the implementation as soon as possible. The biggest change in the new standard is the inclusion of the heavy metal content of the taps in the mandatory testing range. The detection of heavy metals such as antimony, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, boron, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, selenium, tellurium and so on is also Including the national standard. For the lead element, which is of concern, sources said that the new national standard stipulates that the standard amount of lead for taps is 5g/L. This standard can be called "the strictest standard in history."

The attitude of brand furniture has always insisted on reducing pollution from the source of production. “Our raw materials are pure solid wood. The production workshop adopts a German Hammer line. It can be called a dustless production workshop. Inside the workshop, sawdust and dust are directly transported from pipelines. To the garbage dump, therefore, even the top 100 factories have no dust and no irritating odor.” The head of the well-known Beijing School Furniture Top 100 Red Star Central Road store stated that in the furniture production process, the top 100 try to reduce pollution, such as Little nails are used for splicing, and traditional smashing structures are used. Glue uses environmentally-friendly acrylic glue and cold glue imported from Japan, and water-based paints from Italy are used in the paint. Therefore, the formaldehyde content of solid wood furniture is zero.

Positioning "high-end custom wardrobe" blog Man wardrobe, its products include panel furniture and solid wood furniture, has always been in the forefront of the industry in environmental protection. “The environmental protection of furniture mainly depends on the quality of the main materials and auxiliary materials for the furniture. The home improvement board is divided into three grades based on formaldehyde emission: E2, E1, E0. E0-class formaldehyde emission is the lowest, and the current national standard is E1 ( As a qualified plate, Berkman adopts the world's top environmental protection standard E0, and the amount of formaldehyde emission can be neglected. In terms of process, the Bokman cabinet adopts a 'peripheral edge' process to minimize formaldehyde emission. Bokman Wardrobe Red Star Central Road Store manager said.
