China’s first national standard for children’s furniture industry, “General Technical Conditions for Children’s Furniture,†was officially implemented last week (August 1, 2012), in order to make families who have purchased and are using children’s furniture more secure before the “New National Standard†is officially implemented. Use to ensure that children's furniture in the home is no longer a potential hidden danger to the health and safety of the baby. This newspaper combines IKEA, Fussen·Mei Home, Red Star Macalline, Real Home, Qingtian Furniture and professional children's furniture. Manufacturer representatives jointly set up "Children's Furniture Citywide Physical Examination - Expert Help Group". The expert support group of this newspaper has received inquiries and help from parents since last week. “Safety first†has undoubtedly become the focus of parents' attention. In addition to the selection of environmental protection, parents are more concerned about the problem that they have used and are using. How to make simple modifications to the furniture can ensure that the child is safer to use, so that parents and children can rest assured without having to pay more for the overall replacement.
According to Lin Song, deputy general manager of Chengdu Qingtian Furniture, one of the members of the expert group, the concept of children's furniture is actually a furniture product for children aged "3 to 14 years old", especially for children under 4 years old, due to physiological conditions. And age characteristics have super curiosity and extremely lack of self-protection awareness, so children of this age are more likely to be hurt by furniture corners, holes, glass, and even unstable parts in the home life, and the age is Long, especially those over the age of 14, can safely continue to use the children's furniture that has been tested and qualified.
Xie Tao, manager of the Children's Furniture Department of IKEA Chengdu Shopping Mall, also said that if the family is still under 14 years old, especially the young children are using children's furniture produced under the condition of non-new national standard, parents can actually refer to the "new national standard" for local requirements. Rectification and transformation: for example, installing anti-collision angle to prevent collision damage of furniture to children; adding child lock to prevent children from squeezing injury; installing venting device to prevent children from entering the interior of furniture; sealing wall Fixing parts to prevent furniture from falling over children's injury; replacing acrylic material to replace glass to prevent furniture glass from falling down on children's injury... Experts of this expert group collected and collected the highest attention of parents, and also the mandatory requirement of “new national standard†The safety device and the standard of detail, most of the safety hazards can be solved by the parents themselves to solve the big problem of safety.
Hidden danger: the furniture is not round enough
Renovation: add anti-collision angle
The "new national standard" stipulates that children's furniture should not be dangerous during use and sharp edges and dangerous sharp tips. The edges and edges should be rounded or chamfered. The rounding radius of the contactable dangerous outer corner below 1600 mm is not less than 10 mm, and the inverted arc length is not less than 15 mm. If the arcuation degree is not enough for the safety title, parents can purchase the anti-collision angle to install at the acute angle of the furniture to prevent the furniture corner from hurting the active baby.
Hidden dangers: children with crushing injuries such as drawers and cabinet doors
Renovation: add child lock
In order to prevent children from getting stuck in the gaps such as holes and drawer doors when using furniture, the “New National Standard†stipulates that the diameter or clearance should be less than 6mm or greater than or equal to 12mm in the hole and gap of product depth exceeding 10mm; The clearance between moving parts should be less than 5mm or greater than or equal to 12mm. Of course, these data seem a bit complicated and boring. In fact, the most effective way to prevent squeezing damage can be to install a child lock for children. A child lock is to prevent children from opening at will, and a safety device can be installed to prevent Pinched when closed.
Hidden danger: the drawer is derailed, falling and bruising
Renovation: Replace the three-stage anti-skid rail
The drawer slides of ordinary furniture usually use two-stage type, which can be directly inserted into the track. If the child suddenly uses too much force during use, the drawer will be pulled out of the original track, and there may be hidden dangers of falling down and hurting the foot. Parents can't stop the curiosity of children often pulling drawers. It's best to replace the rails with three-stage anti-skid rails.
Hidden danger: hiding in the cabinet, breathing poorly and suffocating
Reconstruction: open the venting holes in the cabinet
Hiding yourself is one of the most loved games for children under the age of 6 at home. This also creates a dangerous accident that would cause suffocation if it is not detected by parents. Therefore, “New International†requires cabinet-type closed furniture. It has a venting device, and the existing furniture can dig holes in the back of the cabinet itself, and a simple ventilating net is added instead of the venting device.
Hidden danger: glass parts hurt people
Transformation: Acrylic material replacement glass
Considering the safety of the child, the “new national standard†is not recommended for use in areas with a height above the ground or a height of the child standing below 1600 mm. The children's furniture in the home can also use the transparent acrylic material instead of the original glass, which does not affect the appearance effect, and is lighter and safer.
Hidden danger: the cabinet or bookshelf is dumped and wounded
Retrofit: install fixed connectors
In order to prevent accidental dumping of children's furniture due to the child's naughty climbing, the "new national standard" for cabinets or bookshelves with a height of more than 600mm requires connectors to be fixed on the wall or fixture so that the product does not fall. The original furniture, if there is no such device, can be used in a hardware store or online store to purchase similar fixtures to reinforce the furniture in use.
Hidden danger: abnormal sliding of casters
Renovation: Replace the lockable casters
Unusual casters may cause a child to fall or be injured. The “New National Standard†stipulates that in addition to the swivel chair, the product with the casters should have at least 2 casters that can be locked, or at least 2 non-caster support legs. If the home does not have lockable casters on the furniture used by the baby, parents should give them a lockable caster.
