Do you have doubts about the unqualified new national standard for children's furniture?

On December 30, 2013, many well-known brands of children's furniture in the fourth quarter of the State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine unqualified supervision of the news, many parents worried. Since the introduction of the "New National Standard" for children's furniture on August 1, 2012, children's furniture brands have repeatedly failed to meet the standards in large and small tests. Nowadays, some unqualified children's furniture is still on the market, and the safety of children's furniture has once again become the focus of attention.

More than half of children's furniture is unqualified

On December 30, 2013, the website of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine announced the supervision and spot check in the fourth quarter of the year. Among them, children's furniture products were sampled in 7 provinces and municipalities including Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hunan, Guangdong and Sichuan. 61 batches of children's furniture products produced by the company.

It is understood that this spot check is based on the requirements of GB 28007-2011 "General technical conditions for children's furniture" and other requirements, structural safety of children's furniture products, mechanical properties of chairs, mechanical properties of tables, mechanical properties of cabinets, single layer 45 items including bed mechanical properties, hazardous substances limits, and warning signs were tested.

The results of the spot check found that 33 batches of products did not meet the requirements of the new national standard, involving the release of formaldehyde in the wooden parts of the product, edges and tips, holes and gaps, strength test of push-pull parts, warning signs and other items. The reporter found that the children's furniture brands that have been listed on the "Black List" include children's furniture products such as Happy Life, Colorful Life, Love, Songbao Kingdom, I Love My Family, All Friends, and many other well-known brands.

Among them, Sampo Matsuo Kingdom, size model is "450 × 400 × 450mm SP-B002"; more favorite, size model is "502 × 371 × 400mm 8B934"; I love my family, size model is "450 × 386 × 443mm FB913 "Colorful life, model "336#"; happy life, model "910"; all-you, size model is "448 × 395 × 475 (mm) 6702A", most of which are unqualified for the edge and tip.

"Black List" brand attitude is blurred

In response to the unqualified quality inspection of several well-known brands, the reporter contacted some brands. Ms. Peng, the relevant person in charge of the president of the All-Friends Headquarters, hanged up the phone on the grounds of the meeting after hearing the reporter’s intention to interview. Subsequently, the reporter contacted Sun Yan, manager of the management department of All-Friends. She said that the products being inspected are completely in the presence of detection errors, and the actual products will not cause any harm to the safety of children.

The reporter found on the official Weibo of Quanyou Home that on December 30, 2013, he issued a statement on the “Review of the Quality Inspection Center of All-Friends Children's Furniture Products”, which stated that the same model in the same batch After the products of (6702A448×395×475) were re-examined to the Sichuan Product Quality Supervision, Inspection and Testing Institute, the product indicators were fully qualified. When explaining the reasons for the unqualified test, the “contactable outer corners have been chamfered in production. The reason for the measurement error of 2 mm is that the test point is generated by the allowable error when the chamfer is sanded.

The reporter also contacted Mr. Wang, the general manager of Foshan Happy Life Children's Furniture. After listening to the intention, Mr. Wang told reporters that the product has been re-examined to meet the eligibility criteria and there are no quality problems. For the reporter to ask again about the organization, area and model of the inspection, the manager Wang quickly hang up the phone. Subsequently, the reporter did not find a statement on the re-examination of the unqualified products on the website of Happy Life Furniture.

Subsequently, the reporter dialed the telephone number of Guo Xiangyang, chairman of Shenzhen Senbao Jiayu Co., Ltd. He told reporters that the children's furniture produced by the Songbao Kingdom brand has been exported for more than ten years, fully in line with international safety and quality standards. . For the edge and cutting-edge problems of this unqualified product, Guo Xiangyang said that for the bedside table, the sharp corner against the wall should not be counted as the "accessible" corner specified in the "New National Standard" for the export of children's furniture. The bedside table must be fixed on the wall, and the product itself is also attached with fixed hardware, so it is impossible to cause harm to children.

What is the content of the new national standard?

The reporter found that many of the spot checks on children's brands were directed at bedside table products. For some unqualified bedside products, the "contact angle" on the front of the product is not chamfered, which is not in line with the "new national standard" standard. In this spot check, some bedside table products were chamfered on the front side, but they were blacklisted because they were not chamfered by the "corner" of the wall.

Regarding the issue of "accessible angle", the reporter consulted Zhu Changling, chairman of the China Furniture Association. He said that there are some doubts about the content of the "New National Standard" in the market. The requirements for the contact angle in the "New National Standard" are for Prevent children from bumping and scratching when touching sharp corners. For some specific size requirements, the future industry will walk two legs on the "New National Standard", one is to continue to strictly enforce, the other is to make appropriate modifications, in addition to the implementation of standards, but also need to make some reasonable adjustments to the standard, Supplements and regulations.

Market visit

"Problem products" are still on sale

On December 30, 2013, when reporters visited a number of home stores, they found that some of the problems were still available in the showrooms of the stores. These problems all have marginal tips that do not meet national standards. The reporter noted that these children's furniture brands that have been detected problems now account for more than 60% of the children's furniture category in Beijing's major home stores, and even the top sellers of home stores.

In the store where I loved my family, the reporter saw the problem product on the list, and asked if I knew that this product was unqualified in the quality inspection. The salesperson immediately said that he knew that this product had problems in the quality inspection. As for the question raised by the reporter why the "problem product" is still sold in the exhibition hall, the salesperson has smashed the past with the phrase "not adapting to the new national standard."

Is the problem product qualified after a re-examination?

Since August 1, 2012, China's first children's furniture industry mandatory national standard "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" has been officially implemented for nearly one and a half years. During this period, the reporters roughly calculated that the results of unqualified random inspections of children's furniture inspections were published four or five times, and some well-known children's furniture brand manufacturers were repeatedly listed.

After repeated publication of the unqualified list, it will cause a paradox of concern and concern. However, many children's furniture brands often turn a blind eye to public opinion condemnation, and the release of the results of the random inspection has not caused any impact on the manufacturers. After the "storm", the problem products are still "unshakable". The place is placed in the exhibition hall for sale.

Industry insiders have repeatedly said that the regulatory gap in the new national standard for children's furniture should be an important reason for manufacturers to slack off and openly ignore the violation.

In addition, the reporter also found that some children's furniture brands that broke the problem tried to restore "reputation" through "re-examination." In October 2013, in the “Quality Supervision and Inspection Results of Children's Furniture Products” announced by the Shaanxi Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau, a bedside table of a children's furniture had the problem of unqualified formaldehyde emission. Subsequently, the brand announced a re-examination of another type of bedside table by the Shaanxi Provincial Technical Supervision Bureau on November 4, 2013. The results showed that the sample passed the quality inspection requirements. When the "Black List" incident came out, All Friends also announced the "Re-examination Report" on its official Weibo.

Qiu Baochang, head of the Lawyers Group of the China Consumers Association, said that there will be a problem of the pass rate for the production inspection of the products. The local quality inspection bureaus are only responsible for the samples of the quality inspection and are not responsible for the batch. For example, the samples tested in Shanghai are not qualified, and the same batch of products are re-examined in other provinces and cities. This does not mean that there is no problem with the quality inspection samples in Shanghai. meaning.
