Last year, the home furnishing industry saw significant progress in terms of policy and regulation. National standards such as "Home Furnishing Industry Service Standards," "General Technical Conditions for Mahogany Furniture," and "Technical Specifications for Children's Room Decoration Safety" were introduced, setting new benchmarks for the industry. These standards help protect consumers' rights and ensure better quality products in the market.
As 2014 begins, more new standards are expected to be implemented or revised this year. Industry insiders believe that with the introduction of these updated regulations, the home building materials sector will move toward a healthier development path, offering safer and more reliable products to consumers.
**New Standards on the Way: Check Mechanical Properties When Buying Furniture**
When selecting furniture, it's not just about the material quality, but also about the design of details like drawer slides and seat backs. Starting from May this year, the new national standard "Furniture Mechanical Properties Test" will be officially implemented. This standard covers the strength, durability, and stability of various furniture types, including tables, chairs, cabinets, and single beds.
Industry experts suggest that regardless of the material used, all furniture must meet general mechanical performance standards. Consumers can check the mechanical test data to determine if the furniture is sturdy enough to support multiple items.
**"Strictest" Standard: Mandatory Lead Detection in Faucets**
Last year, the issue of lead content in faucets made headlines, causing public concern and creating challenges for the plumbing industry. According to officials from the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the latest revised national standard for faucets, "Ceramic Disc Sealed Nozzles," has set clear limits on heavy metal leaching. The standard is currently undergoing review by relevant ministries and is expected to be officially announced soon.
This new standard is considered the strictest in history. It mandates the testing of heavy metals in faucet nozzles, including antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, boron, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, selenium, and thallium. Specifically, the lead leaching limit for faucets is set at 5 μg/L, ensuring greater safety for users.
**Most Relevant Standard: "Air Purification" Claims Should Not Be Taken Lightly**
The term "haze" became a hot topic in 2013, making air purification-related products highly sought after. In the first year of 2014, the National Standards Committee announced the revision of the existing air purifier standard GB/T 18801-2008. The updated standard improves technical specifications and detailed testing methods for different pollutants, while also expanding the applicable area and air cleanliness conversion method. This will help consumers make more informed decisions when purchasing air purification products.
