New standards for environmental monitoring of furniture will be promulgated during the year

Environmental protection has a close relationship with everyone. It is expected that the "New Standard for Furniture Environmental Monitoring" formally promulgated and implemented within the year will be beneficial to both furniture companies and consumers. Zhu Changling, deputy director of the China Furniture Association, said that the new standard has obvious advantages in three aspects: it will be safer, more scientific, and more diversified. The new standard will use non-destructive testing to replace the damage detection, that is, the entire piece of furniture will be placed in a specific environment for testing, furniture will not have any degree of damage, will not have any impact on sales and use. It will also use the "atmospheric detection method" and "climate chamber detection method" for existing testers with toxic and hazardous substances.

The promulgation and introduction of standards is undoubtedly good news for the furniture industry. Traditional furniture environmental performance testing method is proportional sampling and testing, which will cause a certain degree of damage to the furniture, the detected furniture can not continue to sell or use. Non-destructive testing can ensure the detection results, while avoiding the damage caused by the detection of single products, saving resources. It is expected that the new standard will be formally implemented this year.

The so-called "climate chamber detection method" is to conduct tests in a room that maintains a constant temperature and humidity, which can accurately reflect the overall actual release of poisonous and harmful substances from the inspection home. As we all know, this year, consumers are increasingly demanding the health and environmental protection of furniture. The “Climate Chamber Detection Method” can determine the release amount of harmful substances such as formaldehyde. As long as there is a material that does not meet environmental standards, it can be embodied in the comprehensive test results.

It is expected that the "New Standard for Furniture Environmental Monitoring" formally promulgated and implemented during the year will use non-destructive testing to replace the damage detection, that is, the entire piece of furniture will be placed in a specific environment for testing, furniture will not have any degree of damage, and sales and use are not It will have any effect. It will also use the "atmospheric detection method" and "climate chamber detection method" for existing testers with toxic and hazardous substances.
