In the late spring and early summer, it was another year of decoration. The formaldehyde that people talk about has changed, but it has become the biggest problem for people. The source of the formaldehyde emission is mainly from a humble product—adhesive. It is used in large quantities. Man-made boards, plastic paints, etc. are all typical examples of formaldehyde exceeding standard in home decoration.
Wide range of sources, high levels of carcinogenicity, and long periods of emission are all important reasons why people hate formaldehyde. Especially pregnant women, young children and older people with lower immunity are more vulnerable to its harm. The community’s continued concern is constantly promoting The department issued a series of strict policies on formaldehyde emissions.
It is understood that starting from May 1st this year, China will abolish the "Standard for the Release of Formaldehyde in Interior Decoration Materials, Wood-based Panels and Products" (GB18580-2001), which was implemented since 2001, and replaced by the National Quality Inspection. The GB18580-2017 standard newly formulated by the General Administration of Administration and the National Standardization Committee.
Prior to this, China's formaldehyde emission limits for wood-based panels were divided into two levels: E1, E2. E1 can be used directly in the room, and E2 must be processed before it is allowed. However, the new standard specifies that the formaldehyde release limit of artificial panels is 0.124 mg/m3, the limited label is E1, the original E2 standard was cancelled. At the same time, the new standard has a limit of ≤ 0.1g/kg for plastic paints (interior walls), but from the sampling results before the mandatory implementation, Actually not ideal.
According to relevant experts from the China Coatings Industry Association, coatings are modern industrial products. Excessive formaldehyde is an important quality issue for coatings containing plastics. At present, China is the country with the highest global coating production, a veritable paint giant, but large domestic sizes. There are thousands of small enterprises, whether domestically or foreignly, each company's quality control standards and implementation have different results. In this mixed market, it is not satisfactory to control the free formaldehyde content. Well-known brands are often exposed too.

The use of a large number of brand products is still the original GB18580. -2001, GB/T15102-2006 and other standards.
The relevant person in charge of the China Consumers Association pointed out that this situation also exists in the paint industry. Although in recent years the country has vigorously promoted 'oil to water', through the elimination of paint products, the formaldehyde emission from the paint industry has been greatly reduced. However, the entire paint industry still During the transition period of transition and upgrading, some companies clamored loudly for the slogan of '0 Formaldehyde' in order to seize the market. However, in fact, the quality of the products failed to meet the new standard. The people must obtain the benefits of relevant policies. Still need to polish your eyes, carefully select.
He reminded consumers that when purchasing building materials that are prone to excessive levels of formaldehyde, such as board production and rubber-based paints, it is necessary to carefully verify the standards adopted by the product and require the merchant to produce the relevant ticket, including the production certificate, inspection report. Once the product is in use, In the middle of a problem, we must actively safeguard our rights and strive for our own rights and interests.
