------ Round corner design performs well on children's furniture brands
A year after the mandatory standards for children ’s furniture were released, a reporter from the Beijing News found that the warning signs and the ventilation holes in the cabinet were the worst.
It is understood that "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" (hereinafter referred to as the standard) is China's first national standard for the children's furniture industry, which is suitable for designing or booking furniture products for children aged 3-14, of which the fifth and sixth of the standards The chapter is a mandatory implementation standard, focusing on strict regulations on the structure and environmental protection of children's furniture.
The reporter visited several large-scale home furnishing markets in Beijing and found that the worst implementation was the warning slogan. The standard stipulates that warning signs such as “Warning!†And “Be careful about pinching!†Should be marked in the appropriate position on furniture such as wardrobe doors with folding or adjusting devices. However, the reporter visited and found that more than 80% of the brands and products did not mark warnings in the obvious positions of furniture such as wardrobes and bunk beds. In fact, the labeling regulations are relatively easy to implement, but many brands feel that this measure is irrelevant, and "there is no practical meaning to paste."
For many children ’s furniture brands, ignoring the mandatory standards set by the state, they use “exhibit products as old modelsâ€, “international children ’s furniture does not have relevant standards†or use individual regulations in the national standard to wipe the ball and other excuses to deal with consumer situations. Interviewed Zhu Changling, chairman of the China Furniture Association, he said that for some furniture brands, emphasizing that "their products are stocks or old models" is just an excuse. The standard should be implemented for one year, and the stocks should be cleared.
China's national standard for children's furniture "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" was launched on August 1, 2012, more than a year ago. For the implementation of the major brands in the children's furniture market, the reporter conducted on-site visits and found that many children's furniture brands are still not in place, including some well-known imported brands such as Danish brand Fresa, Colombini imported from Italy, and domestic Well-known brands such as Songpu Kingdom.
Experts explain that if there are no holes in the furniture cabinet door, the cabinet body must have vents. The reporter found that such vents are difficult to find on many brand wardrobes. In the PAIDI store of imported children's furniture in Germany, the reporter found several wardrobes without vents and a desk corner without rounded corners. In response to the reporter's inquiry, the sales staff stated that the brand storefront had just been introduced to Beijing, because the imported furniture did not have vents, so it was communicating with the original factory for restructuring. In addition, children's furniture brand Colombini imported from Italy, some wardrobes are also designed without ventilation holes, the sales staff said the exhibits are old.
In addition, some furniture brands use the "special agreement regulations" in the standard to wipe the side ball. When a reporter discovered that a wardrobe in Songbao Kingdom did not have ventilation holes, the salesperson in the store said: "This ventilation hole is very flexible. Some customers do not like the wardrobe with ventilation holes. They feel that they will get ash and cockroaches. They can buy those without ventilation holes. ; Punch will be made if guests request it. "
During the investigation, the reporter also found that more than 90% of the children's furniture brands perform well in rounded corner design, and the drawer locking device is relatively complete, but many brands of children's furniture do not meet the standard in the "reserved vent" item. When the reporter visited a home market in North Fourth Ring Road, he found that in the children's furniture brand Fraser store, there were no vents on the back panel of several children's wardrobes. Regarding the reporter's doubts, the sales staff in the store said that only the addition of the door design such as magnets is required to leave vents in the wardrobe. There is no similar device for the door of the brand's wardrobe, and it is easier for children to push open. So there is no need to add holes.
Zhu Changling believes that how to truly ensure strict implementation of standards requires a relatively long period of time, and enterprises should continue to attract attention. At present, there are still some problems in the market, such as the standard stipulations "except for special agreements", such as furniture customized by manufacturers according to customer requirements, the risk is borne by the customer and is not included in the scope of this standard. Although the implementation of standards requires supervision by regulatory authorities, in the final analysis, companies still need to assume responsibility and awareness of consumer safety. Enterprises should be responsible for consumer safety and interests. This should be a consensus of the whole society.
The standard stipulates that in order to ensure the safety of children's cabinet-type closed furniture, the product "has airtight closed spaces (such as the space formed by doors or covers and other components), and the closed continuous space is greater than 0.03 cubic meters, For furniture with an internal size greater than 150 mm, a single opening area of ​​650 square mm should be provided inside; and two unobstructed ventilation openings at least 150 mm apart, or a space between two 650 square mm openings and a space between them Expand into one with ventilation openings of equivalent area. "
Compared with similar international standards, China has changed the standards of children's furniture into mandatory standards, which is unprecedented in the history of furniture in the past and is also a stricter enforcement regulation. Regarding the implementation of some enterprises that are not in place, Zhu Changling said that it actually has something to do with the understanding of the enterprise and the enforcement of the regulatory department.
According to industry insiders, the "standard" is a summary of repeated science and technology, which can be adjusted according to the actual situation after a period of implementation. The implementation of the standard promotes the market development of children's furniture, rather than restricting it. Although the implementation of the standard is not in place so far, domestic children's furniture has been improved on issues such as chamfering and the reservation of vents. These are all improvements. Zhu Changling believes that the children's furniture industry is a new thing that does not exceed ten years. The industry itself is not very mature, and it needs a standardized process.
The introduction of standards has played a good role in regulating the children's furniture industry, and has greatly improved the functionality and safety of children's furniture. The implementation of the standard will not have much impact on the cost of furniture production. The final implementation degree still requires the conscious understanding of the enterprise. It is easier for enterprises with strict product requirements to implement in the past.
