Furniture with relevant environmental certificates will cause the room smell to be constant, resulting in poor indoor air quality. All along, testing has become a stumbling block for businesses to seize consumer rights protection. Recently, some insiders revealed that the new standards for furniture environmental testing are expected to be enforced nationwide during the year.

Status: Home has problems but cannot detect

In March 2010, Mr. Tan, who lived near Xiaodongmen in Wuchang District, spent more than 2,000 yuan to purchase a wardrobe and a dressing table. Soon, Mr. Tan and his wife kept running and sneezing.

After that, Mr. Tan took the bill to find a business to discuss, the merchant insisted that the quality is no problem, asked him to issue an unqualified test report. After inquiring, formaldehyde testing can cost hundreds of dollars and damage the furniture in large areas. Mr. Tan had to give up.

Difficulties: The current testing method needs to “unload eight pieces”

Mr. Chen, who has been engaged in testing for many years, told reporters that according to the current testing method, quality inspectors will take samples of the plates from the furniture and send them to the laboratory for chemical testing. "Cut a bit here, knock it a bit, and the furniture that is tossed down is not furniture. And even if the sampled part is qualified, it is not necessarily qualified elsewhere."

In addition, China's existing normative standards for "formaldehyde content" are not uniform. According to the "indoor air quality standards", the formaldehyde content limit is not more than 0.10mg per cubic meter, and the "standard of harmful substances in wood furniture for interior decoration materials", the standard of formaldehyde content is not more than 1.5mg per liter.

Experts said that the two standards are not uniform, resulting in different test results, and businesses will not be responsible for this.

Countermeasures: new methods, new standards, more humane

It is reported that the "new standard for environmental testing of furniture", which has been brewing for a long time, is expected to be officially promulgated within the year. The new standard will attempt to use non-destructive testing in a room that maintains constant temperature and humidity, which can accurately reflect the overall actual release of toxic and hazardous substances from the inspector. “As long as there is a material that is not environmentally friendly, it can be concentrated in the comprehensive test results.” Zhu Changling, vice chairman of the China Furniture Association, said.

Hao, a furniture company in Hubei, said that the current market is full of various products that claim to be “green, environmentally friendly, and formaldehyde-free”. The new standard will push some “toxic” furniture onto the guillotine.
