Really safe children's furniture: low formaldehyde does not equal environmental protection
Children are curious and active. For newly bought furniture, they often can't help but touch, touch, and even bite and taste. Sometimes furniture will become the object of their play. However, the resulting damage has also occurred from time to time, and even children have hid in the closet while hiding from the cat, unable to open the door, resulting in suffocation and death. In order to avoid the occurrence of injuries, what should parents pay attention to when purchasing children's furniture?
When parents choose children's furniture, most of them decide on the color, style, material and children's preferences of the furniture. While paying attention to safety, they often ignore some specific details.
For example, the formaldehyde problem that parents care about. Most parents say that they want to "smell the smell" when they choose furniture, but can smell the smell to exceed the standard? "It can't be distinguished because formaldehyde is colorless and tasteless." Yang Meiling, a shopping guide, has been selling children's furniture. Years have passed, and the national standards for children's furniture and the methods of purchasing children's furniture are very familiar. "The impression of the previous plates is that everyone will have a very pungent smell when they open, and they will endanger the children." body."
Although formaldehyde has no taste, it has a certain stimulating effect on human eyes and nose. To determine whether children's furniture is environmentally friendly, we must understand from many aspects: First, look at the paint used in this set of children's furniture. Children's furniture using water-based paint is more environmentally friendly than oil-based paint, because water-based paint does not. Contains volatile organic compounds such as benzene. Secondly, parents should take the initiative to ask the business for the test report of the product.
The manager of the quality assurance department of a famous brand children's furniture factory in Shenzhen introduced that the children's solid wood furniture on the market, pine is the main raw material, mainly New Zealand pine, Russian scotch pine, Finnish pine and Brazilian typhoon. Pure solid wood furniture is made of solid wood and does not use any artificial board. Artificial plates need to be added with some adhesives and glues. If they are not treated properly when the furniture is covered or edged, there will be invisible pollution. Therefore, in general, natural solid wood furniture is more environmentally friendly than artificial sheet furniture.
All parents put safety first in the purchase of children's furniture, so how can we choose genuine safe furniture?
1, the vent of the wardrobe
China's children's furniture compulsory standard "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" stipulates that children's wardrobes must be opened with a mesh mouth to facilitate ventilation and ventilation, to avoid suffocation when children "hid cats". The unfortunate case of suffocation and death caused by a child hiding a cat in a cabinet has occurred many times. Considering that children's strength is small, the national standard also stipulates that children's furniture covers, doors and similar devices should not be equipped with automatic locking devices, and the opening force should not exceed 45 cattle.
2, the transparent door of the bookcase
Many children's bookcases are designed with transparent doors. These transparent doors are made of glass and some are made of acrylic. From a safety point of view, it is best to choose acrylic material. Acrylic is not as smooth as glass, and the sound of knocking is not as crisp as glass. Its biggest advantage is that it will not break when it encounters gravity impact and will not scratch the child.
3, the guardrail of the bunk bed
According to the national standards for children's furniture, the thickness of the upper mattress of the children's bunk bed (the mattress decoration effect) should not exceed 10 cm, and the distance between the mattress and the top of the guardrail should not be less than 30 cm to ensure that the child does not stand inside. Will be easily turned out. The guardrail is relatively high and the mattress is relatively low, so that the upper and lower beds are safer.
4, the choice of solid wood.
Wu Haitao, a major drafter of the National Standard for Children's Furniture and a senior engineer at the Shenzhen Building Materials and Household Products Inspection Institute, said that according to their test results in recent years, solid wood children's furniture has not detected excessive formaldehyde. If the children's furniture of artificial board is not made of AA grade wood-based panel, the release of formaldehyde is easy to exceed the standard.
5, low formaldehyde does not mean environmental protection.
Many parents believe that children's furniture with low formaldehyde content is environmentally friendly furniture. This view is very one-sided, and the content of heavy metals in paint coatings is also an important indicator. Color paints tend to have higher levels of heavy metals than varnishes. In addition, we must pay attention to whether the content of benzene in textile fabrics and leather in children's furniture exceeds the standard.
6. Choose convertible children's furniture.
It is best to use children's furniture that is flexible in structure and free to change, which can meet the needs of children's growth in different periods.
