The children's room has become the choice of many young couples in the post-80s and post-90s, creating a unique room for the only seedlings in the family. However, due to the limitations of materials and technologies used for decoration, many safety hazards have been brought to the decoration of children's rooms.
Â
Â
There are few decoration materials for children
Â
It seems that ordinary products for children's furniture can be sold at high prices as long as they are near "children". This has become an open secret in the industry, such as furniture and decorative paint products. However, industry experts revealed that "children's paint" is not a concept defined by relevant national standards, but a concept created by paint manufacturers and distributors to promote the packaging of such products.
Â
Many businesses in the market are promoting so-called "children's paints". They claim that this kind of paint is environmentally friendly and is designed for children's rooms and children's furniture , and the price is much more expensive than ordinary paints.
Â
However, according to the editor, paints and paints are mainly divided into three categories: furniture paints, toy paints and wall paints. Furniture paints and toy paints have national mandatory standards specifically for children, and there are strict regulations on the limits of harmful substances. However, wall paints such as interior wall paints, etc., implement the national standard of "Limits of Harmful Substances in Interior Decoration Materials for Interior Wall Coatings" revised in 2008, which does not specifically set specific regulations for "children's paints". "Paint" is a hype concept. Experts said that even with reference to the national standards for environmentally friendly coatings, "children's coatings" cannot be completely non-toxic and harmless.
Â
Similarly, among the building materials currently on the market, there are no children-specific materials, and even materials on the market that advertise environmental protection and safety will also cause pollution if they are used excessively.
Â
According to media reports, Mr. Zhou in a community moved into a new house after becoming a father. However, when the child was checked in the hospital in March, the baby who was just over two months old was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Mr. Zhou ’s parents said that all the home improvement materials were selected by the old couple personally, and they all selected environmentally friendly products. After the decoration, they were ventilated for a period of time.
Â
However, industry insiders told the editor that many owners believe that the use of environmentally friendly building materials can avoid the harm of decoration pollution, which is a big misunderstanding. Many building materials companies will present various environmental certifications when selling products, but the only authoritative environmental product mark issued by the government in China is the "Ten Central" certification authorized by the State Environmental Protection Administration. At present, companies that have truly obtained this certification are not many.
Â
Therefore, when there are few decoration materials for children, the editor cannot help worrying about the safety of children after decoration.
Â
Children's household products and categories are too few. The hidden danger of furniture still exists
Â
In addition to decoration materials, there are very few home products designed specifically for children, so the layout of the children's room after decoration has also become a problem.
Â
After visiting many children's furniture brand home stores, it was found that compared with the huge adult home market, the types and styles of children's homes are significantly less. A large store has only one children's bed available for sale, while in another well-known store, the editor found only a small amount of children's furniture, and although different stores sell differently, the editor finds that the style is basically the same.
Â
In August last year, China's first "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" was released specifically for children's furniture. Affected by the "new national standard", the chaotic children's home furnishing industry gradually has a "standard" awareness. For example, the edges and corners of furniture have been rounded to reduce injuries caused by accidental collisions.
Â
     The corners of children's beds and children's desks are still relatively sharp. Some children's wardrobes or small cabinets are not provided with ventilation holes, and hidden safety hazards still exist.
Â
Children's household products are the most important for safety, environmental protection
Â
On the eve of the arrival of International Children's Day, China's first "Safety Technical Code for Decoration and Decoration of Children's Rooms", which was formulated by the China Interior Decoration Association, the China Indoor Environmental Monitoring Working Committee and the National Indoor Vehicle Environment and Environmental Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, was officially released and became Normative documents that regulate the safe decoration of children ’s rooms, children ’s families and children ’s activity venues in China.
Â
The specification focuses on the safety regulations for decoration and decoration projects in children's rooms, children's families, and children's activities in decoration and decoration projects, including strict requirements for the structural safety of decoration, design safety, hazardous substance control, and material flame retardancy.
Â
Through this technical specification, there is a standard for children's room decoration, but the lack of children's home related products also brings some difficulties to the implementation of the standard, so experts also recommend that home manufacturers design more safe and environmentally friendly products for children. To truly create a safe and comfortable living environment for the flowers that represent the future of the motherland.
Â
At the same time, experts in the industry also reminded the decoration owners that it is best to find a third-party environmental protection testing company for the decorated children's room, and put some green plants and flowers in the room. After the decoration, you must open the window to ventilate and stay at least three months later. It is worth reminding that ventilation is an effective way to disperse harmful substances, prevent bacterial growth and increase oxygen. (Editor: Peter)
