On May 1st, the new national standard "Formaldehyde Decoration Limits for Interior Decoration Materials and Their Products" was officially implemented. As the only mandatory national standard for wood-based panels and their products, the implementation of the new standards will bring to the industry. Tremendous influence.
New and old wood-based panel standard difference
When it comes to furniture standards, in addition to domestic standards, there are international standards and corporate standards. International standards are higher than domestic standards, and some corporate standards are higher than domestic standards.
Putting together the three standards, it often dazzles panel furniture consumers. Moreover, there are mandatory national standards. Because there are three kinds of detection methods, there are three sets of index parameters, and the conversion is also very complicated.
Before the new standard for wood-based panels implemented on May 1, the standard followed by domestic furniture manufacturers was the formaldehyde emission limit for wood-based panels and their products (gb18580-2001), which was implemented in 2002. The only mandatory national standard for the board and its products industry.
This standard means the “bottom line†of national supervision and the “red line†produced by the industry. That is to say, the state requires that the formaldehyde emission of wood-based panels and their products must meet the requirements of this product, which is also the test whether the formaldehyde emission of the products is qualified. in accordance with.
For more than a decade, this standard has played an important role in regulating the development of the industry, improving the environmental performance of products, and protecting the health of consumers. Consumers’ awareness of the environmental protection of plates has also come up.
In the gb18580-2001 standard, China's artificial board formaldehyde emission limit standard is divided into two levels: e1, e2.
E1 is a wood-based panel that can be directly used indoors, and e2 is a wood-based panel that must be used for finishing after being treated. For e1 grade wood-based panels, if the dry bath method is used, the formaldehyde emission per cubic meter shall not exceed 1.5 mg; if the climate chamber method is used, the formaldehyde emission per cubic meter shall not exceed 0.12 mg.
In contrast, gb18580-2017 “Formaldehyde Decoration Limits for Wood-based Panels and Their Products for Interior Decoration Materialsâ€, which was implemented on May 1, specifies that the formaldehyde release limit is 0.124 mg per cubic meter, and the limit label is e1, canceled. The original standard e2 level.
Simply put, after the implementation of the new regulations for wooden wood-based panels, the original e2-grade wood-based panels could not be produced or sold. The previously cumbersome three methods of detecting wood-based panels have also been simplified into one, namely one cubic meter climate box detection method. The formaldehyde release limit is also only one standard, that is, it cannot exceed 0.124 mg per cubic meter.
The e0 grade (≤0.5mg/l) that often appears on the market appears as a recommended standard in "plywood" (gb/t9846.1-9846.8) and is not mandatory.
Furniture factory that has "pursuit" does not feel uncomfortable
The new standard was promulgated on April 22, 2017 and will be implemented on May 1 this year. For more than a year, it has been reserved for wood-based panel companies and furniture companies to handle e2 grade wood-based panels and their products.
In the past, although some companies will use e2 grades to reduce costs, due to the need of market competition, many companies have actively raised material safety standards and used e1 grades early to gain consumer favor. Some companies even use e0 grade plates to increase the reputation of their products.
Those furniture companies that have been aligning with international standards for a long time and have used e1 grade plates many years ago are not sensitive to the implementation of the new standards. Many well-known plate companies have started to use the new standard to implement brand marketing. The May 1st holiday has a "green" wind.
It is understood that many custom furniture companies have worked hard on sheet metal raw materials many years ago, and also competed with each other as key indicators, and popularized the environmental protection of consumers. Therefore, the implementation of the new standard has little effect on them, but it has only helped them to clean up some competitors who fight the price war, so that the prospects for healthy and sustainable development of the whole industry are clearer.
Some insiders said that the implementation of the new standard is just like environmental protection. It will be a good standardization measure for the wood-based panel industry. Most of the wood-based panel enterprises have become environmentally friendly and regularized. The production standards have already reached e1 and even e0. . Those wood-based panel companies that have not yet undergone a green transformation will be forced to transform or withdraw from the market.
The trend of environmental protection, the introduction of new regulations for wood-based panels, China's wood-based panel standards to the international level, this is the embodiment of consumption upgrades, but also the embodiment of people's daily life to a higher standard.
It is believed that the implementation of the new regulations will also help to transform the overall image of the wood-based panels and enable the wood-based panel enterprises to gain new market momentum.
