Recently, the media learned from the insiders that in order to change the status quo of the lack of flame retardant standards for domestic soft furniture , some brands are planning to jointly develop flame retardant standards for mattresses and recommend them to relevant national departments. It is reported that, unlike the previous corporate standards that each brand has followed, the new standard content is in line with the international standard.
From no standard to aiming at international standards, is there a loss for the conference? In this regard, there is another voice that the cross-level upgrade of the flame retardant standard may cause new environmental hazards. Therefore, rising and not rising is causing dispute.
The mattress burns a big hole and is not "flame retardant" at all.
Earlier this year, a consumer complained about a mattress product of a well-known furniture brand. The reason was that the merchant clearly stated that the mattress was in full compliance with the national flame retardant standard and could not be burned. However, when the consumer accidentally dropped the cigarette butt on the mattress, the mattress was quickly burned into a large hole, and if it was not found and processed in time, it would continue to burn.
The consumer is very confused, obviously a flame-retardant mattress, why is it burning so fast?
Of course, not smoking in bed is a common sense, but the mattress's own fire resistance should not be too bad. In response to the consumer's doubts, the industry pointed out that there are two major misunderstandings between buyers and sellers: First, the seller's so-called "mattress fully meets the national flame retardant standard" is not accurate enough. In fact, at present, China does not have corresponding flame retardant standards for household software furniture. Second, the buyer misunderstood the definition of flame retardant. The so-called "flame retardant" means not participating in and accelerating combustion, not stopping combustion.
There are "enterprise standards" without "national standard" + detection is not strict
Causing accountability for accidents
"Use it with confidence, we are big brands, and the flame retardant standards will definitely meet the standards." The author found that most of the software furniture shopping guide will give the above answer to the question of whether the mattress is flame retardant. According to the author's understanding, the "standards" in the business mouth mostly refer to "enterprise standards" rather than "national standards." Yuan Jiangbo, director of the Ai Ruisi Production Center, told the author that there is no mandatory flame retardant standard for household software furniture in China. However, enterprises with export background or strict requirements for themselves will set up “enterprise flame retardant standards†because everyone It has long been recognized that "flame retardant" is important for upholstered furniture. Ai Ruisi is now the flame retardant standard for the company's California Fire Protection Standard.
In fact, the problem of the backward flame retardant status of China's household products has long appeared. The industry is blunt, the current status of flame retardant products in mattresses, sofas and fabrics in the domestic market is: no mandatory standards, no mandatory factory inspection, Opportunistic in terms of flame retardant treatment, it is difficult to account for accidents.
Although the consumer's complaints were finally resolved, they are thought-provoking: soft household items such as mattresses, sofas and soft furnishings are scattered throughout every space. Are their flame retardant conditions good and how is the flame retardant state? In the event of a fire, will they become a helper to hinder the burning, or will they accelerate the burning?
Flame retardant and non-flame retardant products are not a price
No one checks for consumers
However, this issue, which is closely related to the safety of everyone's life and property, also contains some unspeakable content.
“The price of our factory mattress is very flexible. It is a price for flame retardant treatment. It is cheaper without flame retardant treatment!†A person in charge of a well-known furniture brand who asked not to be named told the author that this is for them. The original words of the owner of the mattress manufacturer. The words of the owner of the mattress manufacturer actually tell the current "hidden rules" of the domestic mattress industry in dealing with the flame retardant problem - whether or not the flame retardant treatment is done. If the brand does not specifically request the purchase, then the mattress that has no flame retardant treatment will enter the home quietly.
Flame retardant treatment technology has not yet been implemented
Flame retardant standards have a cross-level upgrade
The standard is the standard and the product is the product. It is not uncommon to find a case in which the standard is high and the opportunistic in the actual product is in the home field. The "flame retardant" proposed today is no exception. However, in the situation where the flame retardant problem has not been strictly implemented in the actual product, the sound of directly matching the new standard with the international market has already been transmitted.
According to Zhu Changling, chairman of the China Furniture Association, on May 16, 2012, the ISO/tc136 International Organization for Standardization of Furniture Standardization Committee was held in Milan, Italy. The committee members discussed whether the flame retardant standard for American soft furniture has risen to the ISO international standard. Furthermore, this movement on the international furniture stage has also made domestic furniture companies eager to move. It is reported that some furniture brands that mainly focus on sofas and mattresses have begun to brew a leap forward for the flame retardant standards of their own products.
The brand that is not in favor of the standard upgrade, but has not learned to walk, it is not proper to force the running out. From non-standard to direct cross-level targeting of international standards, such a large span is likely to be worth the loss. Even if the standard is upgraded, the lack of supervision may be ineffective.
