Is your home still using panel furniture? Be careful!

Is your home still using panel furniture? Beware of indoor pollution, many people still don't know.

In recent years, panel furniture has been widely loved by consumers, and they can be seen everywhere in the office, living room, kitchen, and bedroom. Compared with solid wood furniture, the panel furniture is novel in style, simple in appearance, diverse in facing materials and moderate in price, and the internal hardware fittings are easy to disassemble and assemble, which is in line with the aesthetics of modern people.

However, many people only pay attention to the appearance, but few people realize that the panel furniture is easy to cause formaldehyde to exceed the standard. This is because the panel furniture is mainly made of wood-based panels. Commonly used are plywood, blockboard, particleboard, MDF, etc. These panels are made of wood scraps and scraps. Urea-formaldehyde resin is used in the production. This kind of glue will release free formaldehyde, which can easily cause formaldehyde to exceed the standard and become a source of pollution for panel furniture.



1 China's current "interior decoration materials artificial wood panels and their products in the formaldehyde release limit" GB 18580-2001 stipulates that the amount of formaldehyde directly used in indoor building materials must be less than or equal to 1.5mg per liter, if the formaldehyde emission is less than or Equal to 5mg per liter, it must be treated after finishing to be used indoors. The amount of formaldehyde released exceeds 5mg per liter, which is not up to standard.

The above "indoor building materials" include: various fiberboard, particleboard, plywood, blockboard and various veneered wood panels.

2 Choose brand furniture from well-known stores. It is best to choose the panel furniture to the well-known furniture store, buy the brand-guaranteed products, and the after-sales service will be relatively guaranteed. When you purchase or customize the furniture, you should first look at the "instruction manual", especially at the time of acceptance. To be obtained according to law, carefully compare. If there is no "instruction manual", for family safety, it is best to consider giving up.

The current national standard "Consumer Goods Instructions for Use Part 6: Furniture" GB 5296.6-2004 stipulates that all furniture must be supplied to the consumer with instructions for the production and sale of furniture. If the manufacturer does not provide the instructions when purchasing the furniture, or the case is rejected when the request is made, the consumer can report to the quality supervision bureau and other departments, and the quality supervision department will investigate and deal with it.

3 Sign the contract terms as much as possible. When consumers sign a furniture purchase contract, in addition to requiring the furniture panels to meet environmental standards, they must also pay attention to the details, such as the words “full edge trimming of wood-based panels” and “cannot replace double panels with other panels”, so as to better Protect your legitimate rights and interests.



4 Check that the furniture must be “four sides sealed”. After the arrival of the plate furniture, it is necessary to check whether the furniture is sealed on all sides to prevent the manufacturer from cutting corners and only making single-sided sealing, which is not conducive to controlling formaldehyde emission. At the same time, consumers should also focus on the hidden parts of the furniture, such as the plate at the bottom of the drawer, the back panel of the cabinet, etc., to prevent manufacturers from using low-grade plates in these parts.

5 After the new furniture is placed at home, it must be ventilated for more than half a month. If the smell of formaldehyde is obvious, you need to ask a professional testing agency for testing. You can purchase a professional air purifier to remove formaldehyde. Plants such as spider plants, tiger skins, etc. can also be placed in the room.

6 Avoid placing too much furniture in a small space to avoid contamination exceeding the indoor unit area.
