China's first mandatory national standard for the furniture industry for children aged 3 to 14 years, "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" ("New National Standard") was officially implemented on August 1, 2012. The implementation of the new standard means that the status quo of the use of a national standard for furniture between children and adults in China has come to an end.
Consumers say they don’t know
Will consumers notice this new standard when purchasing children's furniture?
A few days ago, the reporter visited several major home stores in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, and conducted random interviews with several citizens who were choosing children's furniture.
Ms. Zhang said: "I chose children's furniture mainly because the style is good or not, and the color is not gorgeous." When the reporter asked if she knew the new children's furniture standards, Ms. Zhang looked very upset. "I haven't heard of it! I have visited such a number of home stores and no one has mentioned this standard with me." Other consumers surveyed expressed their ignorance of the new standards for children's furniture.
Dealers need a "transition period"
“Is there a new standard for children’s furniture recently?†A reporter’s question, a salesperson explained: “The standard is no different, it’s the same. We have Chinese environmental standards attached to every piece of furniture here. You don't have to worry about this problem." "But I think the new standard says that the edge of children's furniture can't be made sharp. I see a lot of furniture here or a sharp corner." I heard the reporter's concerns, the sales staff put The reporter was taken to several other children's furniture sets. "Look at this set, we also have furniture that is not sharp-edged. I have not heard of the new standard, but we can rest assured of our quality."
Most of the furniture brand stores visited by reporters said they did not know what new standards. In a showroom called Red Apple Furniture, salespeople said they knew the new standard, but the children's furniture currently sold is still based on old standards. "The new standard has just been issued, the market reaction will not be so fast, and a transition period is needed." The salesperson told reporters that the family had a new standard and the market reacted for at least three months.

Pay attention to the purchase of children's furniture
1. When choosing children's furniture, be sure to choose smooth and sharp furniture, so that children will not be too dangerous when they arrive.
2, when buying children's wardrobes, we must pay attention to whether the wardrobe has venting holes, children sometimes hide in the cabinet, if there is no venting holes, it will be very dangerous.
