The home that I just bought has a strong taste, and it is simply "spicy eyes". Is there really a quality problem? When consumers encounter such a consumption problem, they often ask the merchant to return or exchange the goods, and if the merchant insists that the product quality is no problem, there will be a series of consumer disputes. Some consumers want to verify the quality of goods through the means of testing by professional institutions. And the facts may not be what you want. Can the furniture with heavy taste really detect the problem? Really not necessarily.

â–  Q & A

The furniture tastes big and may not be formaldehyde.

●Sun Shudong, Director of Furniture Testing Office, National Furniture and Indoor Environmental Quality Supervision and Inspection Center

In the application for furniture inspection received by our laboratory, there are three types of testing requirements: one is the detection of furniture materials; the other is the detection of furniture surface problems, such as cracking, deformation, etc. The third is because the furniture tastes great, consumers demand the detection of formaldehyde. Whether the amount of release exceeds the standard.

Formaldehyde is an irritating gas. When the concentration of formaldehyde is heavy, most people will feel tears and uncomfortable nasal cavity.

Formaldehyde exists in the materials of various furniture and building materials. In addition to common plates, textiles, leather, rayon, non-woven fabrics, sponges, etc. in furniture may also contain formaldehyde. Even pure wood releases a small amount of formaldehyde.

It should be clarified that in addition to formaldehyde, there are many factors that release the taste, such as TVOC, benzene, xylene, etc., which also cause a strong odor. Therefore, if the furniture tastes heavy, it cannot be judged simply that the amount of formaldehyde released exceeds the standard. We have encountered such a situation. Some consumers think that the furniture tastes heavy and is used to detect the amount of formaldehyde released, but it has not exceeded the standard.

At present, among the factors of “great taste” of many furniture, the national standard only imposes mandatory requirements on the amount of formaldehyde released. Therefore, if the furniture tastes great, and you want to judge whether the quality of the product is up to standard according to national standards, generally only the indicator of formaldehyde emission is tested. In addition, the current national standards only regulate the formaldehyde emission and detection methods of mattresses, wood furniture, and swivel chairs. Other furniture categories cannot detect formaldehyde emissions.

According to our work experience, if consumers and businesses have different opinions on product quality and require testing, it is best to conduct mediation intervention through arbitration institutions, consumer associations or industry and commerce departments, and issue inspection commissions approved by merchants and consumers. The letter is sent to the inspection in the case of mutual agreement, to avoid the unilateral inspection of the consumer, but the business does not recognize the test results.

In addition, it is worth noting that according to the current standard requirements, the thickness and material of different plates are different. The proportion of test samples taken by each plate is different and needs to be dismantled one by one. In general, the dismantled furniture is basically unusable, and consumers should be mentally prepared.

Case

Netizen "PP" purchased a set of well-known brand furniture, including beds, writing desks, drawers and so on. When the furniture was delivered to the home, “PP” felt that the home had a strong taste, smelled uncomfortable, and the nose and eyes were stimulated. "PP" therefore suspects that the formaldehyde emission of this set of furniture exceeds the standard and requires the merchant to return the product. However, the merchants said that there is no quality problem in the furniture, and the amount of formaldehyde released is also in line with national standards. "PP" wants to pass the test of professional institutions to see if there is any problem with the furniture, but it is worried that there is really no problem. It takes time and testing costs to remain unsuccessful. So, does the furniture with a serious taste really exceed the standard?
