Pollution and environmental protection issues have always been a modern concern. With the development of science and technology, outdoor pollution concerns have also entered the interior. Indoor environmental protection issues are mainly the building materials and furniture used. For furniture, there are also For environmental protection standards, consumers will feel more at ease with this certification. Then, what are the environmental protection standards for furniture? How to distinguish whether furniture meets environmental protection standards?
What are the environmental protection grade standards for furniture?
According to my country's environmental protection standards and the concept of formaldehyde emission limit, the level of formaldehyde limit in the board. They are E2≤5.0mg/L, E1≤1.5mg/L, E0≤0.5mg/L.
Environmental protection grade E2
E2 grade refers to the 5mg concentration of formaldehyde per liter, so the formaldehyde content of E2 grade has exceeded the national standard. At present, there are few E2 grade boards in the board manufacturing industry. E2 grade products must be finished after finishing treatment. Can be used for interior decoration.
Environmental protection grade E1
According to the national environmental protection regulations, the environmental protection level of indoor panels must reach E1 to be considered as up to standard, which means that it is safe and environmentally friendly, so it will not cause harm to human bodies. The E1 environmental protection standard is a national mandatory health standard. It is a mandatory "safety standard, E1<=1.5mg/l, that is, the formaldehyde content of 1.5mg/l is in line with the national standard. It is environmentally friendly and is harmful to the human body. harmless.
Environmental protection grade E0
E0 level is an international standard, which is very environmentally friendly, which means that the release concentration of free formaldehyde per liter of space is in line with international standards. The formaldehyde content of 0.5mg/l in the E0 level is already a very safe numerical standard. According to relevant information, the formaldehyde content of drinking water is 0.9mg/l, that is to say, the formaldehyde content of the E0 standard is less than that of drinking water.
How to distinguish whether furniture meets environmental protection standards?
1. Look at the certificate
Many furniture products on the market will be marked with various green certification marks, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. It is recommended that consumers must understand the corresponding environmental certification knowledge, and ask the merchant to show the relevant environmental certification before purchasing the furniture, and carefully confirm before making the purchase plan. . Mainly with national certification marks, its standard requirements are relatively strict, and the gold content is also higher. For example, China's environmental labeling products (also known as "Ten Ring Certification") are more authoritative and are currently the highest level of environmental product certification in China. Many private environmental protection certification agencies have low thresholds and low gold content, and they can even be bought with money. Consumers should pay attention to distinguishing them.
2. Smell the smell
When choosing furniture, if the furniture emits a pungent smell, don't buy it no matter how cheap it is, especially wooden furniture, which often causes excessive formaldehyde. Generally speaking, water-based paint furniture is non-toxic and non-irritating. The use of water-based paint coatings not only reduces dust pollution in the spraying environment, but also reduces the emission of organic pollutants from wood furniture in the atmosphere, and protects consumers' health. Consumers should ask for the "Product Manual" and "Test Report" from the merchant when buying furniture to check whether the paint uses water-based paint.
