Choosing children's furniture to guard against six major safety hazards
Original title: Selecting children's furniture to guard against 6 major safety hazards
On June 1st, many moms and dads are willing to prepare a children's room for their children on this special day. A suitable desk can prevent myopia, and a soft and moderate bed can protect. The child's bones grow healthily...However, how to choose children's furniture will always make it difficult for the careful parents. On August 1, last year, the General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture jointly issued by the AQSIQ and the Standardization Management Committee was officially implemented. It is the first new standard for children's furniture in China. On the eve of Children's Day, Chengdu Evening News reporters visited the home stores in Hongxing Meikailong, Fusen·Mei Home, and Real Home, and interviewed the Secretary General of Sichuan Furniture Industry Chamber of Commerce. But hey, he told the Chengdu Evening News reporter that the new national standard has made provisions for children's furniture, but since most of the chapters are recommended, and there is no binding force on the manufacturers, there is still no shortage of "hidden furniture" in the children's furniture on the market.
The following six aspects should be the issues that must be paid attention to when purchasing children's furniture:
Formaldehyde and heavy metals exceeded the standards of the local quality supervision bureau. It was found that many children's furniture formaldehyde and heavy metals exceeded the standard. Formaldehyde mainly came from the plate, and heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and chromium came from bright paint. Professor Liao Qingkui, the Center for Diagnosis and Treatment of Children's Hematologic Oncology, Sichuan University Women's and Children's Hospital, said that carcinogen formaldehyde increases the incidence of blood diseases.
The sharp corners of the furniture's sharp corners are extremely easy to cut or hurt the child.
There are no ventilation holes in the closed furniture. In April last year, two girls from Sichuan went into the wooden box to play "peek-and-seek", and eventually died of suffocation, which made countless people sad. In order to prevent children from entering the furniture to play suffocation, the new national standard stipulates that closed furniture should be designed with ventilation holes, and the cover, door and similar devices should not be equipped with automatic locking devices to prevent children from accidentally entering and suffocating.
Improper holes or gaps in the furniture surface often contact the furniture surface. If the pores are too large, it is easy to get stuck or pinch the child's fingers or other parts of the body. The new national standard stipulates that the gap of movable parts that can be contacted should be less than 5 mm or greater than or equal to 12 mm.
There is a rope in the lower part of the curtain. In 2010, a child of 1 year and a half in Massachusetts, USA, was almost strangled by the curtain rope, which made many parents feel worried. The curtain drawstring may trap the child's neck, causing a strain or suffocation.
The new national standard for glass parts in the lower part of the furniture, in addition to the height of the ground or the height of the child's standing surface of 1.6 meters, the product should not use glass parts to prevent children from breaking the glass to cut the body.

Buy children's furniture to see two certifications
However, the Secretary-General reminded that the quality of children's furniture can be checked by means of touch, see and smell, and the company's production history, equipment and other information can be inquired in detail, and the formaldehyde and heavy metal residue test report can also be requested. The most important thing is to check whether the company has ISO120000 environmental management system certification for ISO9000 quality management system certification. The quality of the products with these two certifications is relatively more secure. If the furniture in the home has the above safety hazards, it is best to replace it with safety furniture or to modify the old furniture, such as installing soft rubber safety products at the sharp corner of the table; In addition, remind consumers to rational consumption, simple and practical, enough to use, the more furniture in the children's room, the safety risks and health risks are even higher.
