Recently, Ms. Wang of Shijiazhuang City has lived in a new house, laughing at her mouth, and adding some worries to the new home. Ms. Wang was prepared to have children after she moved to a new home, so she paid special attention to environmental protection when choosing furniture. Who knows who chose to go and found that the furniture environmental protection certification is very varied, I do not know which one to believe.

Environmental certification is really a lot of people to see

On the 12th, the reporter came to a brand furniture store in Shijiazhuang, saying that he would buy a set of tables and chairs and ask the sales staff whether they have environmental certification. The other party took out the booklet and pointed to the above certification mark. "Our brand is playing environmental protection cards. The environmental protection standards are certified by Europe and the United States, and they have been tested in layers, absolutely no problem!"

The reporter went to another furniture store. The sales staff of a merchant introduced through the brochure that their furniture has a Chinese environmental label and is a product certified by the environmental department. The salesperson of another merchant could not get the environmental certification mark, but she said that at the boss, "you can rest assured that it must be certified, otherwise we can't enter the mall." Then the reporter visited another merchant, the other party. The environmental certification provided is certified by a department of furniture origin.

The reporter went to other home cities to visit and found that the environmental protection certification is varied, both domestic and international, both national and local, with environmental certification and quality certification. It is understood that at present there are at least hundreds of furniture environmental certifications. A long-time clerk in the furniture industry introduced that there are too many certifications and sometimes they are confused.

Some certification companies take the initiative to find proof from the manufacturer

According to industry insiders, at present, the threshold for furniture environmental certification institutions is relatively low, and the registered capital is only 3 million yuan. The established model is similar to enterprise registration. And to do certification for companies are charged a variety of fees. In addition to the certification center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, there are hundreds of various environmental certification agencies in China. In general, the certification body should be a third-party agency with independent legal personality independent of the manufacturer, vendor and consumer. For example, in the United States, organizations that certify or issue public evaluation reports as their main products are basically non-profit organizations. This kind of certification body has no interest in product manufacturers and consumers.

In this regard, some merchants introduced that even if the furniture produced by some small manufacturers does not meet, the back door will be in line. One dealer introduced that many small brands of furniture environmental certification are exchanged for money and relationships. A furniture manufacturer in the provincial capital said that more than a dozen certification companies have come to the door to provide environmental protection certificates for their own furniture.

Can not pass the certification without meeting environmental standards?

The reporter searched for keywords such as “furniture certification” on Baidu, and saw many companies advertised “Furniture Environmental Certification Company to ensure one-time pass, 100% smooth forensics”.

Randomly call a furniture certification consulting management company, the other party said they are an intermediary company, such as which manufacturer needs furniture environmental certification, the company can assist manufacturers to obtain environmental certification.

However, before the certification, a series of work must be done to ensure the passage, so they will send a "senior" teacher to come through the whole process of counseling, teach the manufacturers how to report materials, select samples, and ensure one-time pass.

The reporter asked if the furniture did not meet the environmental certification standards, the other party still gave a positive answer, and said that it only takes three months before and after the certification.

Experts recommend buying furniture to see "test report"

The certification standards are dazzling and inscrutable, and consumers are hesitant to buy furniture. In this regard, the provincial Environmental Protection Bureau staff said in an interview with the media that the Ministry of Environmental Protection certification is the most authoritative.

However, industry experts also said that some certifications are still authoritative. Since the certification standards are confusing and difficult to identify, it is better to take a shortcut. The staff of Hebei Furniture Association said that when choosing furniture, it is worthwhile to check the "test report" of furniture, which is an effective document to prove the environmental protection grade of furniture products. In the test report, the material of the furniture, the formaldehyde content, etc. will be clearly indicated.

The staff said that the state has a national standard for furniture testing (GB 18584 - 2001), which specifies the specific limits of harmful substances. Consumers can request a test report and check the national standard to check whether the furniture is environmentally friendly. Some experts have suggested that some brands of furniture should be purchased in some brands of furniture. Relatively speaking, the degree of environmental protection and quality are relatively reliable.
