How to determine whether the formaldehyde in furniture panels exceeds the standard? Is there formald

First of all, when buying furniture, you can first close to the drawers and wardrobes of furniture, sniff with your nose to see if there is a pungent smell, whether it is strong, if you feel a strong pungent smell, and accompanied by tears, itchy throat, cough and other uncomfortable phenomena, then, it is not suitable to buy this kind of furniture.

Secondly, the furniture factory should be asked to provide a certificate of qualification for the inspection of raw materials, to see whether the materials purchased by the manufacturer are qualified, and to check the source of furniture materials.

In addition, the edge of the wood-based panel furniture should be carefully checked whether the edge is sealed, because the edge of the wood-based panel formaldehyde emits the most, according to the furniture standard, the edge of the wood-based panel furniture must be edge-banded, if you feel that the home has a pungent smell, then, the furniture should be placed in a room with better ventilation conditions, open all drawers and cabinet doors, so that the free formaldehyde in the furniture is emitted as soon as possible. During this period, it is recommended that the room be left empty for a period of time to avoid discomfort caused by inhalation of free formaldehyde. If the smell is still strong after the air clearance, it is likely that the formaldehyde emission of the furniture exceeds the standard, and consumers are advised to apply to the relevant quality inspection department for inspection.

From July 1, 2012, the wood furniture sold on the market must comply with the national standard GB 18584-2001 "Interior Decoration Materials - Limits of Harmful Substances in Wood Furniture" stipulated in the formaldehyde emission of wood furniture, if the test results show that the formaldehyde emission exceeds the standard, consumers can complain to the relevant departments, ask for the replacement of qualified furniture, or return.

When consumers buy colored paint furniture, especially children's furniture, they should pay enough attention to the harmful substances in the paint film of children's furniture - soluble lead, chromium, cadmium and mercury. The paint sprayed on the furniture should meet the requirements of the limit of harmful substances in wood coatings, and consumers should buy products with quality assurance from regular enterprises to ensure that the soluble heavy metal content in the paint film meets the standard requirements. In use, it is best not to put food, especially acidic food, directly on the table, so as not to ingest these soluble heavy metals.

Finally, whether the home contains formaldehyde or not is relative, and there is no wooden furniture that absolutely does not contain formaldehyde, unless it is non-wood.

If the newly purchased furniture has a large pungent smell, it may be caused by high formaldehyde content, if it is suspected that the formaldehyde content of newly purchased furniture is too high, there are two ways to verify and distinguish. The first is to look at the instruction manual of furniture, the state has mandatory standards requiring the instruction manual to mark out harmful and toxic limits. You can also ask the manufacturer to show the test report of the product, which will generally have a mark on the formaldehyde content.

Secondly, the furniture is sent to the Municipal Quality Inspection Institute or other qualified testing institutions for testing to determine whether the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard. Engineer Wen reminded the public that when buying furniture, they should try to buy furniture produced by regular manufacturers in large regular furniture stores, so that the quality of furniture and other parameters are relatively guaranteed.

Formaldehyde is mainly glue or something, which tool can be used to measure formaldehyde to test it, there will generally be, but it's just a matter of quantity.
