In recent years, there are many disputes about the excessive formaldehyde in furniture consumption disputes.

More and more consumers choose to buy formaldehyde tester to test the formaldehyde emission. Once formaldehyde exceeded the standard, the furniture as a large piece of furniture will be the main culprit, which is unavoidable with the merchant theory. But the merchant will produce the report of the furniture board testing. Both sides hold their own words. Finally, it can be said that both failures: the panel furniture was nailed by consumers "formaldehyde release exceeding the standard" label, credibility is reduced; and consumers have since fallen on the furniture "not at ease" psychological trauma, and thus spawned a variety of market claims that furniture "environmental protection" sales chaos.

Whether it is manufacturers or consumers, we need to clarify several common "misunderstandings" in order to be able to really find a solution to the problem.

Indoor formaldehyde exceeds standard. Is this panel furniture back?

Object of consumer detection

As a kind of panel furniture, now Zhenghong's panel customized furniture has encountered many complaints about formaldehyde. For example, recently, there are domestic first echelon of customized furniture brands complained by consumers that after testing, the purchase of customized furniture formaldehyde release exceeded the standard. "Once in the house, you can feel the pungent smell, then suspected that formaldehyde exceeded the standard, borrowed a formaldehyde detection instrument. Who knows, the instrument shows formaldehyde content as high as 1.122 mg per cubic meter, the national standard is 0.08 mg per cubic meter, more than 14 times. There are many complaints from consumers like this and often get a lot of consumers' sympathy.

From the above statement, we can find the reasons why consumers and businessmen are different.

When consumers use formaldehyde testers, they usually close doors and windows, place the tester anywhere in the room, or in a closed drawer or wardrobe. The test object is indoor air, and the formaldehyde emission source in the indoor air is not just furniture; the test report on the hand of the panel furniture manufacturer comes from the third. Party testing institutions or self-built laboratories with testing qualifications, whose testing objects are artificial panels, the laboratory environment has maximized to ensure that the results only come from the samples submitted for inspection.

What is the correlation between air test data and plate inspection data?

The disunity of testing objects directly leads to the disunity of reference standards.

Consumers themselves use formaldehyde tester test results, the reference standard is "National Indoor Air Quality Standard" GB/T18883-2002, which stipulates that the formaldehyde emission of civil residential is <0.08mg/m3, the test methods and testing requirements also have corresponding provisions; manufacturers reference standard is GB 18580-2001 "indoor decoration materials" Formaldehyde Release Limit in Wood-based Panel, GB 18584-2001 "Release Limit of Hazardous Substances in Furniture of Interior Decoration Materials", Wood-based Panel according to "E" classification, their respective formaldehyde content is: E0 < 0.5? Mg/L, E1 < 1.5mg/L, E1 is the national compulsory "safety standard line", that must meet the standard, E0 class board. The material environmental protection request is higher, therefore also is used by many enterprises as the brand marketing, but uses the E0 class plate actually is only a few.

Indoor formaldehyde exceeds standard. Is this panel furniture back?

It is hard to say clearly about the degree of correlation between indoor air standards and board standards.

In the purchase of furniture, board testing is up to standard, but decoration is completed, furniture into the air quality test, formaldehyde several times beyond the standard, this is not professional consumers, for these complex standards, complex detection methods, must be confused.

Environmental friendly furniture, environmental protection decoration

A test report added to the "environmental protection board furniture" to buy home, not necessarily to ensure that indoor air formaldehyde does not exceed the standard. The reasons are as follows: First, the formaldehyde content of the man-made panel of single-piece panel furniture does not exceed the standard, and the superposition effect of many pieces of furniture placed together is difficult to ensure that formaldehyde does not exceed the standard, and the auxiliary materials used in furniture and building materials (sealing edges, glue) are also the source of formaldehyde; second, the consumer's home not only has furniture, but also other materials. Such as rubber products (hot melt glue, glass glue, etc.) including putty, as well as wall paint, laminated flooring, solid wood composite flooring, bamboo flooring, solid wood composite doors, and even soft links of cloth sofa, leather sofa and other furniture, curtains, carpets and other textile fabrics look beautiful soft accessories, they add together, can be It will make "decoration" no longer environmental protection.

Formaldehyde releases slowly. When the furniture comes in, the formaldehyde left over from the previous decoration has not been released cleanly, thus causing unavoidable indoor air pollution, and formaldehyde excess can not be attributed to a certain kind of furniture.

Indoor formaldehyde exceeds standard. Is this panel furniture back?

In the entire home decoration process, from hard to soft, from material selection to construction, from purchase to use, each link is related to health, do not make up. But the manufacturer must not grasp the consumer to "environmental protection" the desire, will furniture "environmental protection" performance exaggeration, will E1 class plate propaganda E0 class plate, or even hype "zero formaldehyde" commercial boo.

Only consumers have reasonable understanding and expectations of "environmental protection" and "environmental protection" in home decoration, and do not hold a stereotyped impression of "formaldehyde exceeding the standard" in panel furniture. Businessmen do not exaggerate the facts, the two sides will not hold different opinions on formaldehyde.

Plate furniture has the advantages of low price and convenient for large-scale manufacture. It is suggested that manufacturers should adhere to higher standards on formaldehyde emission and consumers should buy board.
