Yaqinju reminds you not to ignore the safety of children's furniture!
If the structure of children's furniture is unqualified, it will make children easily suffer unpredictable injuries during use.
Judging from the recent results of random inspections published by quality supervision departments and industry and commerce departments around the world, the unqualified rate of children's furniture is still very high, and many well-known furniture brands have also "stroke". The frequent red lights of furniture safety problems have not only become potential safety for families Hidden dangers also confuse and question consumers. The new national standard for children's furniture has been implemented for many years, but why the implementation is not satisfactory.
   Children's furniture sampling pass rate is low and structural safety is the main problem- Yaqinju
On June 22, 2017, Jiangsu Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision announced the results of quality supervision and random inspection of children's furniture in the second quarter of 2017. A total of 149 batches of children's furniture products were sampled this time, 103 batches were qualified, and the pass rate was 69.1%. Sampling inspection found that the quality of 46 batches of furniture products of Kumanju, June 1, Xibeibei and other brands failed. According to the random inspection results, among the unqualified products, 32 batches of products were found to be unqualified because of structural safety indicators. The problems were that the edges or edges of the products were not rounded or chamfered, and there were dangerous protrusions, holes and gaps Meet the requirements, no anti-folding device, the closing force of the flip door and the flap is less than 8N (Newton), no Hardware to prevent detachment, no anti-pull-off device, etc.
These unqualified products do not meet the requirements for structural safety in the "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture". It is understood that the standards include detailed provisions on edges and tips, protrusions, holes and gaps, folding mechanisms, flaps, doors, closed furniture, and mechanical properties. For example, the requirements for "edges and tips" should not have dangerous sharp edges and dangerous sharp tips, and the corners and edges should be rounded or chamfered; for "holes and gaps", holes and gaps with a depth of more than 10mm, the diameter or The gap should be less than 6mm or greater than or equal to 12mm; the "projection" requires that the product should not have dangerous protrusions, if there are dangerous protrusions, they should be protected in a suitable way. For the "folding mechanism", except for doors, covers, push-pull parts and their hardware, the product should not produce dangerous squeezing and shearing points under normal use load. If the product has a folding mechanism or bracket, there should be a safety stop or locking device to prevent accidental movement or folding. Ignoring the above problems, children are vulnerable to unforeseen injuries when using children's furniture.
On May 27, 2017, the Shanghai Administration for Industry and Commerce released the quality sampling results of the online platform for the sale of children ’s furniture (children ’s high chairs). 39 batches of children's high chairs and children's furniture sold on 5 online platforms in the mall were subjected to market inspection and quality random inspection. After testing, 8 batches were unqualified, and the unqualified detection rate was 20.5%.
Sampling inspection found that there were 1 batch of children's furniture hazardous substances (migration elements of surface coating) exceeding the standard in the unqualified furniture. The No. 1 shop Zhongshan Nazhi Daily Products Co., Ltd. sold "Mige" brand children's furniture (child chair ) (Model specification: 40cm high stool surface 18cm, qualified product), the surface paint lead Pb measured 103.057mg / kg (standard value should be ≤90mg / kg), exceeding the national mandatory standard limit. Lead is harmful. If children chew toys or furniture painted with lead paint, it will cause poisoning. There are 6 batches of children's furniture warning signs failed. The requirements of "Warning Signs" in "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" are that the applicable age range of the product should be clearly indicated in the instructions for use, namely: "3-6 years old", "3 years old and above" or "7 years old and above" . If the product needs to be installed, it should be marked in the instructions for use "Caution! Only adults are allowed to install, children should not be near" warning. If the product has folding or adjustment devices, the warning "Warning! Be careful of pinching" should be marked at the appropriate position of the product. The warning sign is a safety indicator of children's furniture, which can effectively remind consumers to use children's furniture correctly and avoid potential use hazards. The warning sign is unqualified. If the child cannot use it correctly, it may cause injury.
   Children's bunk beds have outstanding safety problems- Yaqinju
Recently, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce announced in 2016 that the quality of the goods in the circulation field sampled and found that 40 kinds of furniture were unqualified, including children's bed furniture (bed and bed, baby bed ) Sampling inspection is unqualified. The unqualified children's bed is mainly due to problems with the upper bed safety rails, ladders (footboard size), bed surface, side panels and bed head holes and gaps.
It is understood that none of the above issues meet the safety requirements of "Home Bunk Bed Safety" GB24430.1-2009. "Safety for Domestic Bunk Beds" specifies the standards for the structure of bunk beds, the safety barriers for upper beds, the dimensions of bed surfaces, ladders, and footboards, especially the requirements for the clearance of bunk beds for children. For example, the distance between the top edge of the safety fence of the upper bed and the surface of the bed surface should be no less than 300mm, and the distance between the top surface of the mattress and the top edge of the safety fence should be no less than 200mm; the size of the footboard should meet two consecutive steps The distance between the surfaces of the footboards should be 250mm ± 50mm; the distance between the surfaces of the two footboards should be uniform with a tolerance of ± 2mm; the clearance between two consecutive footboards should not be less than 200mm, and the width of the footboards should not be less than 300mm.
On August 13th, the reporter came to a Kumanju store in Beijing and found that the store was undergoing renovations. The reporter did not see the unqualified specification of the random inspection announced by the Beijing Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau as "1570 × 1.5m ladder cabinet with 2530 × 1780 (mm) â€, model“ DIS-A301-15.1 â€, production date or batch number“ May 2016 â€to get on and off the bed. The reporter asked the sales staff in the store. The sales staff told reporters that the storefront is currently being renovated and there are not many pieces of furniture, and this product has been upgraded. Consumers can buy upgraded products. On August 15th, the reporter went to another Kumanju store in Beijing, and he did not see the bed and bed set up in the store that failed the spot check.
It is understood that the Beijing Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau has imposed penalties on sellers of unqualified commodities in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Product Quality Law, and at the same time urged the city's sellers to do a good job in the delisting of unqualified commodities of the same manufacturer and model. At the same time, the Beijing Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce is also warning consumers in the random inspection announcements to beware of hidden safety hazards when buying.
Compliance and enforcement of national standards is responsible for companies and consumers
China's first national standard for children's furniture GB 28007-2011 "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" was formally implemented on August 1, 2012, but judging from the results of random inspections around the country, many furniture companies have failed to implement the standard for many years , Children's furniture still has structural safety and other issues, the implementation of standards is not optimistic.
In the production process, some enterprises do not have a good understanding of the national standard and think that it is sufficient to implement the enterprise standard. There are also some companies that play "scratching the ball", in order to avoid the constraints of the national standard for children's furniture, "children's furniture" is positioned as "youth furniture. Other companies ignore the national standard on the pretext of inventory clearance, product upgrades, etc. when they are found to be unqualified by random inspection. Multiple factors have led companies to perform poorly on the national standard, which has caused many children's furniture to have potential safety hazards.
According to industry insiders, there are many reasons why companies have not implemented national standards. Some are due to cost issues, for example, the environmental protection effect of water-based paint is good but the cost is high. For some furniture, the chamfering of the board itself does not meet the standard, but the cost of replacing the board will increase. Some are due to design issues, such as the failure of the safety of the furniture structure and the design of the furniture and the handling of details.
The Beijing News reporter interviewed Zhu Changling, chairman of the China Furniture Association, on issues such as frequent sampling failures of children's furniture, potential safety hazards, and difficulties in implementing the national standard by enterprises. Zhu Changling believes that the difficulty of implementing the national standard may be related to factors such as the design of the enterprise, poor consciousness, and deviations in understanding and understanding. As a result, in the actual implementation process, it has not strengthened standardized management and implemented the national standard. In addition, the relevant departments should also vigorously promote and widely disseminate the national standard, and the regulatory department should increase its implementation. As an enterprise, it should be consciously abide by and implement national standards, accept the constraints of standards, strictly control product quality, and seriously implement and implement national standard standards, which is responsible to enterprises and consumers.
