China's first children's furniture standard " General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture " was officially implemented today. This standard imposes mandatory requirements on the environmental and safety performance of children's furniture. Products that are not in compliance with regulations will be cleared. Insiders pointed out that the introduction of the new standard is a powerful weapon to solve the problem of non-standard children's furniture products, and will force manufacturers to upgrade the production standards of children's furniture. Brands that do not meet the standards will be eliminated from the market.
The new national standard appearance and environmental protection are all prescribed "strict" words
It is understood that the new standard is applicable to furniture products designed or intended for children aged 3-14 years. The safety requirements, warning signs, test methods, inspection rules and signs of children's furniture are strictly regulated.
In terms of appearance, the new standard stipulates that the product should not be dangerously sharp and sharp and sharp, and the edges and edges should be rounded or chamfered. The contactable dangerous external angle of the product at a height below 1600mm from the ground shall be rounded, and the radius of the rounding shall not be less than 10mm, or the length of the inverted arc shall not be less than 15mm.
The product should not have dangerous protrusions. If dangerous protrusions are present, they are protected in a suitable manner. For example, the ends are bent or a protective cap or cover is added to effectively increase the area that may be in contact with the skin.
Except for doors, covers, push-pull parts and their hardware, the product should not produce dangerous extrusion or shear points under normal use loads. If the product has a folding mechanism or bracket, there should be a safety stop or locking device to prevent accidental movement or folding.
Ventilation openings shall be provided when the product has an airtight confined space, and the furniture shall be placed at any position on the floor, and the vents shall remain unobstructed when they are placed at two corners of the corner of the room that intersect at an angle of 90°. The vents can be fitted with a mesh or similar component that is breathable. Covers, doors and similar devices should not be equipped with automatic locking devices.
At the same time, the new national standard has also imposed mandatory requirements on environmental protection. The new standard is limited to four kinds of harmful substances such as lead, chromium, mercury and cadmium in adult furniture standards, especially for children's furniture artificial panels, paints, textiles and fur fabrics. Ten kinds of toxic and harmful substances such as soluble heavy metals, formaldehyde emission and decomposable aromatic amines in the auxiliary materials, the limit indicators are specified, and the requirements for flame retardancy are also increased.
Industry: The implementation of the new regulations will promote the reshuffle of the children's furniture industry
For the manufacturers of children's furniture, the implementation of the new national standard has brought certain challenges to the technical and operational aspects of the business. Therefore, on the eve of the implementation of the new national standard, some merchants promoted the promotion and tried to clear the products that did not meet the new regulations, so as to minimize the losses caused to the enterprises after the implementation of the new national standard.
According to the New Express report, a dealer complained to reporters that the current promotional price is close to the purchase cost price. At present, she only processes about 40% of the inventory, and the implementation of the new national standard will bring her serious losses. In addition, she also mentioned that the new national standard will be introduced, and manufacturers will inevitably pass on the cost pressure to the dealers through price increases. Their original gross profit margin of about 40% will be reduced by at least 10%.
Wang Heping, Director of Marketing Department of Evergrande Meisenmei Industrial Co., Ltd., said that the new standard is a powerful weapon to solve the problem of non-standard children's furniture products. It will force manufacturers to upgrade the production standards of children's furniture, and the brands that do not meet the standards. Will be eliminated from the market. The new standard is both an opportunity and a challenge for domestic children's furniture brands. The opportunity is that brands that do not meet the standards will go out directly and not participate in competition. The challenge is that environmentally safer and safer standards will encourage children's furniture brands to invest more manpower, material resources and financial resources in the production process.
