Purchasing furniture to recognize environmental labels

Nowadays, there are more than 10 kinds of "green labels" in the home market, but there are a lot of them. Therefore, when buying "green products", consumers should carefully check the certification unit and certification content on the certificate.

The variety of green labels is not difficult to recognize

Chen Haipeng, deputy director of the Institute of Standardization of the Guangdong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau, told reporters that the current highest environmental protection certification in China is the China Environmental Label (commonly known as the Ten Ring Logo), which is a green certification authorized by the State Environmental Protection Administration and the only government in China The most authoritative environmental product logo issued.

In addition to Shihuan certification, the more authoritative environmental protection certification in the domestic furniture industry is China Quality and Environmental Protection Product Certification (CQC). Products that have obtained CQC certification have the environmental advantages of low toxicity, less harm, and resource conservation. Some international imported brands have various European environmental certifications. "European environmental certification is the strictest and has higher requirements for products." Huang Xueqing, general manager of the domestic enterprise Federal International, revealed that the Federal Mini sofa includes EU DMF, REACH53 and The three international home furnishing industry consensus and the most stringent environmental protection standards of the CARB in the United States, "the federal sofa, did not get these three all-arounds."

Furniture hidden environmental crisis situation is grim

The bedroom turns into a gas chamber, new bed sleeps leukemia, children's furniture makes children cough, and the living room sofa causes aplastic anemia ... In recent years, the fact that a lot of furniture is contaminated is indeed a bit shocking. It seems that buying furniture is becoming more and more a piece of furniture. Challenge health. According to the survey statistics of the Indoor Environmental Monitoring Working Committee of the China Interior Decoration Association, furniture pollution has become a new problem of indoor environmental pollution after construction pollution and decoration pollution, and has become one of the three major sources of pollution affecting the indoor environment.

At present, China's compulsory standards stipulate that the formaldehyde emission in furniture products should be ≤1.5mg / L, but many enterprises are called "green products" by the standards of sheet metal. "There are many such phenomena and it is debatable. Although the formaldehyde content of the plates may meet the standards, the finished products are not necessarily." Chen Haipeng reminded consumers that consumers should look at the test report of finished furniture when they buy furniture. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine conducted inspections on 85 wooden furniture manufacturing enterprises across the country, and found that 76.9% of the enterprises exceeded the standard of formaldehyde, and the highest exceeded the standard by 116 times.

National Standards aim at common international standards

The reporter found that the environmental protection standards applied in China are mainly for the detection of chemical substances such as "formaldehyde emission", "heavy metal content", "VOC content" and "benzene". For example, the amount of formaldehyde released in the MG / L range ≤1.5, soluble lead in the MG / KG range ≤90, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene in the MG / KG range ≤300. In contrast, the current environmental standards in the home furnishing industry are stricter and more comprehensive.

Chen Haipeng revealed that the Guangdong Institute of Standardization has noticed this situation and has approached the Federal Group, hoping to refer to the relevant indicators in the collection standards, and to take the lead in upgrading the furniture industry in the country by raising the provincial furniture environmental standards . "National standards have to take care of the technical strength of most companies, and it is often just a bottom line for product quality. This is the status quo that cannot be changed."

REACH is the 28 member states of the European Union for the preventive management of all chemicals entering its market. The standard requires 53 SVHCs in chemicals not to exceed 0.1% of the total weight of the items. See, in addition to the substances listed in the domestic Chinese environmental label, the REACH53 item also adds a total of 48 other chemicals.

REACH is constantly being updated. The latest concern substances have reached 76 items. However, many newly added concern substances can easily pass through.

From the technical requirements, the limit parameters of REACH53 environmental protection standards are dozens of times stricter than those in China. The testing complexity, supply chain control system, etc., are not currently covered by domestic standards.
