In a furniture factory in Yubei District, the reporter saw that after the production of various types of furniture, enterprises will first carry out safety inspections on various parts and elements of furniture, including load-bearing capacity, drawer flexibility, and formaldehyde emission. After that, the quality supervision department will also conduct random inspections on the products before they can enter the market.
“All standards will be strictly controlled within the requirements of the state.†The person in charge of the furniture factory said that the public is now most concerned about the cost-effectiveness of buying furniture. Because all solid wood furniture is expensive, furniture containing wood-based panels is still the majority of the public. select.
So how can we buy safe and secure furniture?
The first trick: smell smell
Li Li, deputy director of the Municipal Metrology and Quality Inspection Institute, said that most of the wooden furniture sold on the market, except for all solid wood furniture, has wood-based panel parts. Therefore, you should especially smell when you buy. If the furniture makes people cry and sneeze, it means that the amount of formaldehyde released is relatively high, don't buy it.
The second measure: look at the report
Consumers should take the initiative to request a quality inspection report from the dealer before purchasing to see if the formaldehyde emission of the furniture is within the limits allowed by the standard. The national standard "Limits of Hazardous Substances in Wood Furniture for Interior Decoration Materials" stipulates that the amount of formaldehyde released in wooden furniture should not exceed 1.5 mg per liter. If the purchased furniture exceeds the standard, do not buy it.
The third measure: ask the price
Most of the wood furniture with excessive formaldehyde is made of cheap artificial boards, so the price of the whole set of wooden furniture is often "ultra-low". Since inexpensive artificial boards use a lot of inferior glue, the amount of formaldehyde released will naturally exceed the standard. Citizens should not be too cheap when buying furniture.
The fourth measure: signing a contract
When consumers purchase furniture, it is best to sign a "furniture sales contract" with the dealer, and write the environmental protection clause into the contract to protect their rights and interests.
The fifth measure: invoicing
Invoicing is very important. Some consumers, under the temptation of dealers' "low price", took white strips, receipts, etc., and when they complained about quality problems, such informal invoices are often difficult to be valid evidence, so buying furniture must Ask the dealer to issue a formal invoice,
Sixth trick: to ensure after-sales service
Perfect after-sales service can protect consumer rights. Furniture is not a one-time consumer product. Therefore, it is necessary to determine which after-sales service is available with the dealer at the time of purchase, and then determine the purchase price by comprehensive cost performance.
The Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau specially reminded that the newly purchased furniture should not be rushed into the living room. It is best to put it in an empty room and use it for a while.
