How to identify furniture environmental certification



According to a report by Voice of China, "News", the "Eleventh" Golden Week is coming, and many people want to take advantage of this free time to renovate their houses and buy furniture. What is the most important thing when buying furniture? Style, price, quality or brand? I am afraid many consumers will answer: environmental protection. Since furniture with excessive chemicals such as Formaldehyde and benzene will cause great harm to the human body, many consumers will consult the merchants on whether the product's environmental protection certification is qualified when buying furniture, and even more discerning consumers will even require merchants to issue environmental protection Certificate of conformity.

Who is the authoritative certification of environmental protection certification for furniture?

The reporter found in the investigation that the environmental protection certification of furniture is uneven and mixed. Before discerning furniture, environmental certification seems to be the first to be "fake". When it comes to furniture environmental certification, the reporter came to a large furniture market in Anhui. Almost all furniture manufacturers promised that their furniture produced by the company meets environmental certification, but the certification standards are varied.

Reporter: Does your family have no environmental certification?

Furniture store: Yes.

Reporter: Can you show us?

Furniture store: Take a look, like this is the proof that we have reached ISO900140.

Reporter: Which department issued it?

Furniture store: The issuing organization is the China Environmental Labeling Product Certification Committee. The Green Health Certificate is from the Industrial Association. This is Malaysia's E1 environmental protection level certification. Our home is inspected twice a month, twice by the quality inspection department. Close the door directly if it fails.

In addition to the above certification standards, the reporter also saw the National Inspection Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center certification issued by the store, the Nanjing Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute certification, and various certifications by provincial quality inspection stations in the interview. The reporter randomly interviewed some citizens who visited furniture stores. Many citizens did not understand the environmental certification marks of furniture.

Reporter: Do you know the environmental protection mark?

Citizen: I really don't know.

Reporter: So how do you judge whether the furniture is environmentally friendly or not? Do you listen to the clerk?

Citizen: I generally do n’t believe what he introduced, but it depends on the practicality and material.

Whether the environmental protection of furniture is qualified depends on inspection

With so many certification standards, let alone ordinary consumers, the old rivers and lakes who have been in the furniture market for many years are also confused. Environmental certifications are both domestic and international, national and local. They have both environmental certifications and quality certifications, and they are not quite sure which one is reliable. According to a salesperson who has been engaged in the furniture industry for a long time, Shihuan certification is currently the most authoritative certification in the furniture industry.

Clerk: Our furniture is certified by Shihuan and is the most authoritative certificate. Unlike some environmental certificates, you can basically buy them for money. But this is promulgated by the state and is more authoritative.

The so-called ten-ring certification is a general term for China's environmental label certification of the Ministry of Environmental Protection. It is currently the highest level of environmental protection product certification in China. The certification process is extremely strict. Its only certification body is the Environmental Certification Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

In addition to the certification center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, there are hundreds of various environmental certification agencies in China. Generally speaking, the certification body should be a third-party organization with independent legal personality independent of manufacturers, sellers and consumers. For example, in the United States, organizations that use certification or issue public evaluation reports as their main products are basically non-profit organizations. This certification body has no interest relationship with product manufacturers and consumers. But the situation is different in China.

In China, the threshold for certification bodies is relatively low, with a registered capital of only 3 million yuan. The mode of establishment is similar to enterprise registration. And for certification of the company's products are charged various fees. Li Wanying, a furniture manufacturer in Shandong, told reporters that more than a dozen certification companies have taken the initiative to come to the door to provide environmental certification for their furniture.

Reporter: Other certification companies will also contact you to recommend his certification to you?

Li Wanying: Yes, there are.

Reporter: But which certification is the most authoritative?

Li Wanying: Right.

Some certification agencies entrust agents without authorization, and only charge fees without supervision. As long as the money is paid, you can get the certification in two or three months. Some even sell certification marks directly. The authority and authenticity of the certification are doubtful, and the content of the certification actually implies "greatness". For example, the ISO9000 certification that many merchants vigorously respect is just a proof that an enterprise implements the best management and represents the management level of this enterprise. Use this certification to show that your furniture is environmentally friendly, without any "persuasiveness" at all. For example, if an enterprise has obtained ISO9000 or 9001 certification, but it does not mean that your product is definitely qualified? Li Helun, head of the Shandong Wood Furniture Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, told reporters: "It cannot be stated that your product is qualified. To explain that your product is qualified, it must be inspected."

In the eyes of Dong Jinshi, an environmental chemistry expert, not to mention the confusing certification standards and certification bodies, even national standards on furniture are in a fight. There are both furniture standards and interior decoration standards in our country, but there are differences between the two standards. It is unclear which standard should be used for certification. In addition, manufacturers will also make articles on the furniture for inspection.

Dong Jinshi: Many companies provide reports to consumers when they are good products, but when he sells products, he may not sell to consumers the product he made the report.

Experts in various departments to avoid responsibility: consumers need to check the quality inspection report

The environmental certification of furniture is in chaos, spending money on certification and deceiving consumers. Who should manage these problems? The reporter first found the quality supervision department, they said that this is not under their control.

Quality Supervision Department: You need to find the environmental protection department for this environmental certification. Our Quality Supervision Bureau does not have this regulation. Call 12369.

Then the reporter contacted the environmental protection department, but the ball was kicked back to the quality supervision department:

Reporter: The institution where I buy furniture certification is also different?

Environmental protection department: This you ask the Technical Supervision Bureau.

Reporter: I called them and they asked you to find the Environmental Protection Agency.

Environmental protection department: Quality testing also belongs to their testing scope.

It seems that consumers who want to buy truly environmentally friendly furniture can only rely on the eyes of consumers. Dong Jinshi told reporters that consumers must not trust certification when choosing furniture, but check the “product quality test report” of furniture, which is the only valid document that can prove the environmental protection level of furniture products. In the test report, it will clearly indicate the furniture material, formaldehyde content, etc. Dong Jinshi also said that if consumers are unclear about environmental certification, an expedient measure is to buy branded products in large stores as much as possible.

Dong Jinshi: If a consumer buys these furniture, he needs to master some skills or certain knowledge, such as going to some brand furniture city to buy some brand furniture, the quality is relatively reliable. Second, during the purchase process, the manufacturer's qualifications and especially the inspection report should be requested.

Experts also said that spending more money to buy furniture in brand stores is not the ultimate solution to the problem. In the end, it is still necessary for the supervisory authorities to abandon the evasive attitude, take the responsibilities seriously, and keep a good watch for consumers.

  Talc (Talc) is a layered silicate which is a hydrate.
 Theory of MgO style chemical formula 3, 4 - SiO2, H2O, and the theory of chemical composition as follows: 31.68% MgO style SiO2 H2O 63.47% to 4.75%, the natural quality of pure talc ore are very few, most associated with other mineral impurities, common associated minerals include chlorite, serpentine, magnesite, tremolite, dolomite, etc.
Talc is often white, light green, microstrip pink, light grey, with impurities the more the color is deeper, even dark grey, black.
Monoclinic crystal system, ore presents flaky, fibrous and dense.
Pearly luster or oily luster, the heating effect of the talc are substantially heated, lose adsorbed water during 120 ~ 200 ℃, 600 ℃ when begin to lose part of the structure of water, until 1050 when the structure all the water out.
The best way to identify talc is to conduct X-ray diffraction analysis or thermal analysis.
