More environmentally friendly and functional for children's furniture consumers

Lack of brand standards

According to the reporter's visit and investigation of the children's furniture market in Beijing, there are many brands of children's furniture on the market, but there are only a handful of well-known brands. The situation of middle and low-end children's furniture is even more worrying. Many small manufacturers rely on “cottage” high-end brand products, lacking individuality and originality, and raw materials are not transparent.

At present, the production of children's furniture lacks relevant national standards and industry standards. The basic application of adult furniture standards for production, market confusion, lack of effective management, and lack of authoritative research and management institutions have always affected the healthy development of children's furniture.

The reporter also found that the safety performance of many children's furniture is not optimistic. Some furniture's edges and corners are more prominent and sharp, lacking the necessary protective measures for children; some homes have automatic folding function, but there are few fixing screws. Once they are squeezed, they may be deformed and cause injuries to children.

Consumers are more environmentally friendly and functional

The reporter interviewed more than a dozen consumers randomly, most of them put the safety and functionality of furniture in the first place. Ms. Huang Rui, 32, told reporters that when purchasing furniture, considering the comprehensive factors such as design and function, and cost-effective, But environmental safety is the basic condition.

Consumer Mr. Song lamented that children's furniture has too low standards for heavy metal pollution such as formaldehyde, lead and cadmium, and the control of many harmful substances has not been included in production and inspection. There are also consumers who think that the design of furniture is relatively homogenous, lacking customization and personality. The so-called free combination is fine-tuned, and few furniture can be adjusted according to the child's growth needs.

New standards are more environmentally rigorous

The country’s first “General Technical Conditions for Children’s Furniture”, which will be launched during the year, may be a market situation that will confuse regulations. It is understood that the "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" for the first time clarifies that children's furniture should be suitable for children aged 3-14.

In addition to the detailed definition of the sharp corners, protruding parts, cavities, gap size and stability of children's furniture, the standards are more restrictive in the control of toxic and hazardous substances. In addition, the standard also puts specific requirements on some software furniture dyes and PH values.

According to industry insiders, the new standard specifies the limits for the use of toxic and hazardous substances and the use of safety warning signs. After the implementation of the new standard, the safety, environmental protection and practicality of children's furniture will be improved and improved. In addition to regulating the market, the new standard will also play a good guiding role for consumers to buy children's furniture.
