Formaldehyde furniture products are "difficult" companies and governments need to rely on

As the theme of the development of the times, "environmental protection" has already penetrated into all walks of life of the society. It seems that China's social development has achieved environmental protection tasks. However, in actual operations, environmental scandals have been frequently exposed, and the problem is quite serious.

In the furniture industry, formaldehyde exceeds the standard has been regarded as the top priority of environmental protection, formaldehyde problem is not resolved, the environmental protection road of the furniture industry will be difficult. When we look at the furniture environmental protection news, it is often easy to see the furniture sales disputes caused by excessive formaldehyde. The most common ones are often unqualified furniture sampling. So why is it difficult to guarantee the environmental protection of the furniture industry?

China's furniture formaldehyde standards are relatively loose, and the furniture standards are opaque, which has caused many furniture companies in China to use inferior wood-based panels and adhesives for the pursuit of huge profits. The National Furniture Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center stated that China's furniture products have rarely used solid wood, and most of the panel furniture uses fiberboard or particleboard bonding. In this way, adhesives should be used for veneering and edge sealing. Adhesives are the source of formaldehyde.

In the detection method, China's furniture product testing uses the "dryer method" to cut the furniture into small pieces for testing, which is a destructive test, which not only destroys the furniture, but also differs from the actual situation of the furniture use. The professional academic report "Evaluation of Uncertainty in Detection of Formaldehyde Release in Dryer Method" indicates that the release of formaldehyde is determined by the dryer method, and the test results are uncertain. The uncertainty is mainly derived from the drawing of the standard curve, the detection process and the repeatability test. . Due to the inhomogeneity in the sample, the uncertainty introduced by the repeatability test is the largest.

The formaldehyde content of the furniture industry has become a "difficult problem". Is it really impossible to solve it? The answer is obviously not. Breaking the deadlock of formaldehyde in furniture requires the joint efforts of enterprises and the government.

Enterprises should actively respond to the government's call to implement environmental protection policies, enhance corporate environmental awareness, and strengthen scientific and technological productivity. As the "birth place" of furniture products, enterprises have a decisive role in the performance indicators of furniture products. The environmental protection of furniture mainly depends on the production of enterprises.

As a "hand" under the conditions of a market economy, the government should "produce when it is shot", formulate strict furniture formaldehyde standards, and strive to improve the furniture formaldehyde detection system to provide perfect quality assurance for furniture products distributed to the market. .
