Environmental certification, hidden cats, buy furniture, check the "product quality test report"

In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to environmental protection, and many consumers tend to choose green and environmentally friendly household products. However, even if the furniture is labeled with environmental labels, or the business can provide a green certificate, but the label shape and style are varied, and the certification body is dazzling. Therefore, when purchasing "green products", consumers should carefully check the certification unit and certification content on the certificate. The environmental protection certification is dazzling. The furniture with excessive chemical content such as formaldehyde and benzene will cause great harm to the human body. Many consumers will consult the merchants when they buy furniture, whether the environmental verification of the products is qualified, even more discerning consumers. The merchant will be required to issue an environmental certification certificate. By visiting several furniture cities in Shanghai, the author found that the current furniture brands are playing the “environmental protection” brand. Many businesses have placed some environmental certifications in a prominent position. Some are the "10-ring" logo promulgated by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and there are various certifications, such as "a certain green association", "a certain user satisfaction center", "a certain certification center" and so on. During the visit, the author observed that some furniture brands also affixed the label of “excellent environmentally friendly products”. According to the sales staff, these products are qualified by the relevant departments. If they fail, they will not be distributed to the market for sale. The authors will also read the information about the certification. In the interview, an industry insider revealed that the current state of environmental protection certification does not have mandatory regulations, but adopts the principle of voluntariness, which makes the current environmental certification on the market relatively confusing. In addition, these certification bodies are not the same organization, and they have certificates issued by China International Green Environmental Management Committee, China Light and Light Product Quality Assurance Center, China Green Environmental Protection Development Center and so on. In addition to the National Certification Center, there are also environmental certification agencies, some of which also specialize in furniture certification and environmental product certification. . It is understood that in addition to the certification center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the general environmental certification agencies are registered in the enterprise model to engage in certification agents, from which various fees are charged. Whether the certification of these companies is reliable and authoritative is questionable. In general, the certification body should be a third-party organization with independent legal personality independent of the manufacturer, vendor and consumer. For example, in the United States, organizations that certify or issue public evaluation reports as their main products are basically non-profit organizations. This certification body has no interest in product manufacturers and consumers. According to industry insiders, some large-scale furniture manufacturers will go to environmental protection certification in order to develop in the direction of the brand. The average small enterprise is just looking for a company to label it, and it is pretending to be an “environmental product”, which is mainly to fight “environmental protection”. Signboards to attract consumers. However, the current environmentally-friendly furniture certification is still quite confusing, and the certification bodies for environmentally-friendly furniture are mixed and mixed. This requires the state environmental protection department, quality supervision department and other relevant institutions to follow up the supervision and establish reasonable certification standards, as well as supervision. Experts recommend buying furniture to view "product quality inspection report" Tong Zhaoxiang, director of the Information Consulting Department of Shanghai Furniture Industry Association, said that the current highest standard of environmental protection certification in China is the Chinese environmental label (commonly known as the ten-ring mark), which is authorized by the State Environmental Protection Administration. Green certification is also the only flag of environmental protection products issued by the government. In addition to the ten-ring certification, the domestic environmental protection industry's more authoritative environmental certification is China's quality environmental product certification (CQC), and CQC-certified products have environmental advantages such as low toxicity, less harm, and resource conservation. Some international import brands have various European environmental certifications. “European environmental protection certification is the most stringent, and the requirements for products are higher. The three international home industries such as the EU DMF, REACH53 and the US CARB are the most stringent and most stringent. Environmental standards." Industry insiders said. How to choose a truly environmentally friendly furniture. Tong Zhaoxiang suggested that consumers should not trust the certification when choosing furniture, but look at the “product quality inspection report” of furniture, which is the only valid document that can prove the environmental protection grade of furniture products. In the test report, the material of the furniture, the formaldehyde content, etc. will be clearly indicated. If consumers buy low-carbon environmentally-friendly furniture, in addition to going to some brands of furniture city to buy, but also in the purchase process to obtain the qualification of the manufacturer, especially the inspection report. In addition, when purchasing, it is best to buy solid wood, rattan and other pure natural furniture, wood-based panels, plywood furniture, must choose a reputable brand, and pay attention to whether all done edge sealing; fabric sofa not only Look at the fabric depends on the filler material. Also open the door to smell whether there is a strong irritating smell inside, and check the quality inspection certificate. If it passes the national inspection, some smells are inevitable with paint, adhesives, etc. Can be eliminated. Finally, you can feel whether the edge of the furniture is tight and the moisture content of the material is too high. Because the strict edge sealing will seal the free formaldehyde in the plate, it will not pollute the indoor air; the furniture with too high moisture content will not only have quality problems, but also increase the release rate of formaldehyde. In addition, if the purchased furniture has caused pollution to the indoor air, in addition to indoor ventilation, you can also purchase some "formaldehyde adsorbents" to eliminate the formaldehyde released into the air by the furniture. Another point is that you can buy some plants in the living room, which can eliminate pollution and beauty. The spider orchid can absorb 95% of the carbon monoxide in the air, 85% of formaldehyde; Tiannan Star can absorb 80% of the benzene in the air, 50% of the trichloroethylene; Magnolia can absorb carbon dioxide and chlorine; Whelan can effectively absorb fluorine and sulfur dioxide in the air.
