For example, how can you be sure that you are buying children's furniture ? What is a sharp corner position? What kind of place should be rounded? Where should the vents fit? ...... For this reason, Sun Shudong, assistant director of the National Furniture and Indoor Environmental Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, answered various doubts in detail.

 

 

Question 1: Adult furniture and children's furniture are sold together. The merchant is not clear that they are selling children's furniture. What should I do?

 

Expert answer: As long as the merchants admitted that the furniture can be used by children, they must meet the national standards for children's furniture. At the same time, the national standard stipulates that the furniture must have instructions for use, and the instructions for children's furniture should clearly indicate the age range of the product, that is: "3-6 years old", "3 years old and above" or "7 years old and above". If you are not sure, you should ask the merchant to provide the corresponding instruction manual.

 

Question 2: What position can be regarded as a sharp angle? Where is the contact part and where is the non-contact part? The edges of panel furniture cabinets are at right angles, is this acceptable?

 

Expert answer: Whether it is panel furniture or solid wood furniture , the rounding process is relatively simple, and there is no problem that it cannot be done. "If the process is not satisfactory, you can also use a protective device to make up." He emphasized that there is no concept of contact position and non-contact position described in the shopping guide. Sun Shudong introduced that if there is no rounding, and a solid protective device is used, "it can't be dropped at the touch."

 

Sun Shudong showed the text of "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture", in which the structural safety, edges and sharp corners, the parts shown in the standard clearly indicate the parts of the product that need to be rounded. What confuses reporters is that the part of the bedside table that needs to be rounded is only the four corners on the top, not including the four sharp corners on the bottom. In this way, Columbini's unqualified bedside table seems to have met the standard. Why is it still judged unqualified? Sun Shudong explained that the standard does not make any statement about the height of the bedside table above the ground. From the picture, there are wheels under the unqualified bedside table, and indeed two sharp corners are exposed. "According to the standard requirements, this is also considered a dangerous part."

 

Sun Shudong reminded that there is a size requirement for rounding, and it is not necessary to fall. "The radius of the round is not less than 10mm, or the length of the round arc is not less than 15mm." According to him, a round that meets the standard has the greatest degree of protection for children. According to industry insiders, the safety structure of some of the big-name children's furniture recently exposed is unqualified because the degree of rounding is not enough.

 

In addition to the sharp corners that need to be rounded, there are also provisions in the standard that "products should not have dangerous sharp edges". Then the edges of panel furniture cabinets, etc. are all right-angled, are they considered sharp edges? Sun Shudong said that solid wood and plate materials can generally meet the standard requirements.

 

Question three: Many shopping guides use children's furniture paint as a selling point, such as water-based paint, varnish, paint-free, etc. Does this have a big impact on furniture safety?

 

Experts answer: The surface decoration of most panel furniture is impregnated film, and there is no heavy metal. But he reminded that buying furniture is a finished product, which needs comprehensive consideration. For example, if the paint does not dry out, there may be a problem of benzene exceeding the standard. The decorative paper of the panel furniture is attached with glue, and there may be cases where harmful substances exceed the standard. He suggested that you should not overly entangle the type of paint, as long as the product as a whole passed the test, you can not care about the type of paint.

 

Question 4: Where should the vents be located? How many should I call? Expert answer: Whether it is solid wood or panel furniture, you need to leave vents, not what some shopping guides say "there is no gap in solid wood."

 

The national standard stipulates that when children's furniture products have 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㎡, and the internal dimensions are greater than or equal to 150mm, one of the following requirements should be met: Set a single opening area of ​​650m㎡; and two unobstructed ventilation openings at least 150mm apart, or a ventilation opening with an equivalent area that expands the two 650m㎡ openings and the space between them; When placed on the floor at any position and leaning against two vertical planes that intersect at a 90 ° angle in the corner of the room, the vents should remain unobstructed. The vents can be fitted with mesh or similar parts with good air permeability; covers, doors and similar devices should not be equipped with automatic locking devices. When tested according to 7.5.6 (closing part test), the opening force should not be greater than 45N.

 

There are many cabinets, even if there is a partition, only a ventilation hole is opened on the back panel of the cabinet. Sun Shudong pointed out that this is unqualified. "As long as the closed continuous space meets the standard size and volume requirements, each hole should be left." "Don't say that the child can't get in and can't look at the problem from the perspective of an adult." I also encountered manufacturers saying that if the hole is too much It affects the strength of the furniture. "In fact, this is also a good solution. It is sufficient to ensure that the opening force of the door is not greater than 45N. It is not necessary to punch holes."

 

The punching position is also particular. The national standard stipulates that when placing furniture anywhere on the floor and leaning against two vertical planes that intersect at a 90 ° angle in the corner of the room, the vents should be kept unobstructed. But those children ’s furniture whose vents hit the back panel The hole was blocked as soon as it was against the wall. Moreover, the national standard stipulates that “all high table and cabinet products with a height greater than 600mm” should be fixed to the building according to the regulations. Sun Shudong said: “This kind of hole is useless, you should choose to hit the top or side of the furniture.”

 

Question 5: Are international children's furniture standards more advanced than current domestic standards? Is imported children's furniture safer?

 

Expert answer: Some shopping guides claim that their products are imported, and European standards are more thoughtful than national standards. According to Sun Shudong, as far as he knows, there is no systematic standard for children's furniture in Europe like ours. "In terms of hazardous substance limits, our national standard is in line with international standards. Structural safety is stricter."

 

Some insiders also revealed that some well-known international furniture brands have had discussions with relevant parties because the national standard of children's furniture is too strict. Finally, in order to continue to sell in the Chinese market, some structures have been adjusted according to the new national standard.

 

Selection Guide

 

When purchasing children's furniture , from the safety structure, pay attention to whether the above-mentioned parts have been rounded and the location of the vents is correct. In addition, the national standard also stipulates, “The holes or gaps in the rigid material of products with a depth of more than 10mm shall have a diameter or gap of less than 6mm or greater than or equal to 12mm; the gap between movable parts which the product may contact shall be less than 5mm or greater than or equal to 12mm.” Parents can simply measure.

 

Special attention should also be paid to the protrusions, "such as whether the screws and expansion bolts are exposed, and whether the hardware has sharp angles, etc. For harmful substances, parents can request a test report to check." (Editor: Peter)
