More than ten kinds of "zero formaldehyde" furniture with certification marks are mostly "flicker"

The weather is getting hotter and the peak of decoration is coming soon. However, consumers walk into the furniture store, and the large and small cabinets with the "green environmental protection" slogan are all over the store. Some furniture are even called "zero formaldehyde". However, a recent investigation revealed that the salespersons could not explain why the “green certification” logo is full of tricks. The water in them is a lot of water and the fish and dragons are mixed. The relevant experts also admitted that the real "zero formaldehyde" furniture is still rare. .

At present, in addition to the internationally accepted ISO14000 environmental system certification, China's furniture environmental certification methods have three main types: products that have passed the "China Environmental Mark" (Ten Central) certification of the State Environmental Protection Administration, and "CQC quality environmental protection products" certification by the China Quality Certification Center Products and Zhongcheng Mark Certification (CTC) products. However, furniture stores that claim to be "green and environmentally friendly" are full of furniture products, and there are more than ten kinds of certification marks, which are also indistinguishable. Many salespersons also come up with the attractive words "antibacterial, bacteriostatic, and mildewproof", but when asked whether these furniture have been certified by the Environmental Certification Center of the State Environmental Protection Administration and whether they can issue a test report on whether formaldehyde exceeds the standard, many salespersons have Become supportive.

"Actually, as long as the adhesive used in furniture, the problem of formaldehyde is basically inevitable." Wang Fang, secretary general of the Municipal Indoor Environmental Purification Association, said that many of the sheet furniture sold on the market are sources of formaldehyde. Composite boards, triple plywood, MDF, and plywood are difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish, and some profitable businesses use formaldehyde-free pollution to "fool" consumers.

For some consumers who believe that solid wood furniture must be free of formaldehyde, industry insiders said that in some corners of furniture, most of them still use formaldehyde. Once the amount is increased, formaldehyde can easily exceed the standard. In order to cover up this fact, some furniture manufacturers buy a green certificate. Xu Guanrong, secretary general of the Municipal Furniture Industry Association, said that there are a lot of profit-oriented testing agencies, and they issued a variety of green signs, so that consumers are at a loss. A reporter recently discovered that some "green certifications" are openly sold online. As long as they are willing to pay, they can buy a decent certificate and even customize it.
