Children's furniture national standard implemented 10 kinds of toxic substances in 2011

Due to the lack of corresponding standards, some children's furniture in the market are produced by adult standards, which not only has poor safety performance, but also has excessive control of toxic and harmful substances, which seriously affects children's health. In this regard, Li Longping, an expert from Chengdu Quality Inspection Institute, one of the experts who participated in the drafting of the first general technical conditions for children's furniture, revealed that the standard will be changed next year, and the chaos in the children's furniture industry will be changed.

What are the hazards of excessive poisonous and harmful substances in children's homes?

Professor Zhu of Huaxi Hospital said in an interview that if the content of some volatile toxic substances such as formaldehyde and benzene in children's furniture exceeds the standard, it will cause indoor air pollution, and the children's respiratory tract will be seriously damaged, causing them to suffer from bronchitis. , bronchitis and other respiratory diseases.

Wood furniture produces a lot of high-toxic substances in the production process, and the inferior paints have higher levels of heavy metals. At a distance of 1 m from the ground, the lead concentration in the air is 16 times that at 1.5 m, and the height of the child is just in this range.

Infants and young children often touch the furniture by hand. It is easy to ingest a large amount of lead when sucking fingers, and the absorption rate of lead by infants and young children is very high, about 5 times that of adults. When lead enters the body, it can damage the nervous system, digestive system and blood system. Lead poisoning can also seriously damage the liver. More seriously, lead entering the human body is difficult to be discharged.

10 substances such as formaldehyde and soluble heavy metals were clearly limited. Yesterday, the reporter learned from Chengdu Quality Inspection Institute that Li Longping, an expert of the hospital, went to Shenzhen this month to participate in the formulation of the General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture. This standard is the country's first national mandatory standard for children's furniture. It is currently in the final revision period and is expected to be finalized and released for implementation in 2011.

Li Longping said that the "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" for the first time clarified that children's furniture should be suitable for children aged 3 to 14 years. The standard includes nine parts including toxic and hazardous substances and safety warning signs.

Li Longping said that in addition to the detailed definition of the sharp corners, protruding parts, holes, gap size and stability of children's furniture, the standards are more restrictive in the control of toxic and hazardous substances. The limit of toxic and hazardous substances is mainly for 10 kinds of formaldehyde and soluble heavy metals, which are similar to the requirements for children's toys.

In addition, the standard also puts specific requirements on the dye and PH value of some soft furniture.
