Key Certification Standards Overview
How to choose safer home products?
After understanding the standards, you can ensure home safety through the following specific actions:
1. Proactive Document Request: When purchasing large items such as furniture, actively ask the seller to provide the latest inspection reports with CMA or CNAS qualification marks, and confirm that the reports are based on GB 18584-2024 standards.
2. Check for Labels: When purchasing textiles (such as bedding, curtains, towels), look for the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 label. You can verify its authenticity by checking the certification number on the label against the official website.
3. Focus on Material:
Furniture: Prefer solid wood, metal, etc.; if selecting engineered wood, opt for environmentally friendly glue (such as E0-rated, formaldehyde-free boards), and pay attention to the integrity of the edging process.
Textiles: Opt for products made from natural fibers (cotton, linen, silk, wool) with simple dyeing, as they generally have a lower risk of chemical additive residue.
4. New Home Prep
Ventilation: After new furniture is brought into the room, ensure long-term and adequate ventilation. This is the most effective way to dissipate harmful substances.
