On August 1, 2012, the special national standard for children's furniture, "General Technical Terms for Children's Furniture," was formally released. Now, more than a year has passed, has this standard been seriously implemented in the children's furniture market? In the past few days, it has been found that many children's furniture still on sale still do not meet the new standards.   Dazzling prices  In some stores specializing in famous children's furniture brands , the average price of a set of children's furniture is generally more than 10,000 yuan. The quality of children's furniture varies, and prices vary widely. In a store that also sells children's furniture from non-brand brands, a set of children's furniture costs several thousand yuan. They are also children's furniture, with prices ranging from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. The prices of children's furniture are dazzling.  A lot of furniture that does not meet the standard  The "General Technical Terms for Children's Furniture" clearly stipulates: Children's furniture products must not have dangerous sharp edges and dangerous sharp tips, and edges and edges should be rounded or chamfered.  It is understood that the new environmental standards for children's furniture are stricter. Among them, the previous standards have been continued in the formaldehyde content, but the content requirements of four heavy metals such as antimony, arsenic, barium, and selenium have been added to the detection of heavy metals. The point also refers to the standard requirements of children's toys.  Fang Jinyi, director of the Construction Furniture Inspection Center of the Autonomous Region Product Quality Inspection and Research Institute, said that the increase in the content requirements of antimony, arsenic, barium, and selenium is because the child's mouth and tongue may touch the surface of the furniture. In addition, in the new standard, azo (decomposable aromatic amines) is listed as prohibited in textiles and leather. Phthalates in plastic products are also subject to corresponding content restrictions. Fang Jinyi said that overall, the new national standard for children's furniture has stricter restrictions on hazardous substances, which also provides a more powerful environmental protection for relatively sensitive and vulnerable groups of children.  Special rectification is about to start  In response to the chaos in the children's furniture product market, Fang Jinyi said: "The General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" is China's first furniture professional standard for children aged 3 to 14 years old. In the past, the standards for children's furniture and ordinary furniture were the same. "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture", on the basis of meeting the main technical indicators required by other furniture, has made more detailed and specific details on the structure of children's furniture, hazardous substance content, flame retardant performance and warning signs, etc. Mandatory regulations to reduce the harm to children in the use of furniture. "  Fang Jinyi said: "There is currently no special market for children's furniture in our district. We understand that there are some children's furniture on the market that are not produced under the new standard. So far, we have not received the commission from the industry and commerce department. Conduct random checks on children's furniture in the market. But in the next step, we are prepared to contact the industry and commerce department to solicit their opinions and rectify the capital's children's furniture market. "  Fang Jinyi reminded the public that when buying children's furniture, it is best to know the content of the new national standard in advance. In the new standard, some indicators are more professional, and consumers may not be convenient for on-site testing. For this situation, consumers can ask the merchants to check the test report of the new national standard at the time of purchase. Especially for the mandatory provisions inside, they should carefully check whether they meet the requirements of the new national standard. Another is that when signing the contract, the merchant should indicate in the contract that the product meets the requirements of the new national standard, which is also a protection for consumers. If there are problems in the future, the new standard can become the basis for consumer rights protection.
