Alcance y aplicabilidad

This standard applies to carpets, carpet underlays, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) flooring used in indoor decorating and refurbishing materials. It is mandatory for all manufacturers and importers of these specific flooring products entering the Chinese market. The standard does not apply to other types of floor coverings or adhesives used separately during installation.

Requisitos técnicos

GB 18586-2026 specifies the maximum limits for various harmful substances emitted or contained in the covered products. For carpets and carpet underlays, the standard sets strict release limits for Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC), formaldehyde, and specific volatile monomers like styrene and 4-phenylcyclohexene. Manufacturers must ensure their products meet these emission limits to be compliant. For PVC flooring, the requirements are expanded to include content limits for heavy metals (lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, mercury), phthalates, vinyl chloride monomers, and formamide. Additionally, it regulates the release rates of TVOC and formaldehyde, as well as the content of flame retardants like polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) when applicable. Compared to the previous versions (GB 18587-2001 and GB 18586-2001), this update removes the classification of environmental and general products, establishing a unified mandatory limit. Suppliers must transition to these new unified requirements before the implementation date.

Métodos de ensayo

The standard outlines specific testing methodologies using an environmental test chamber to measure area-specific emission rates. For VOCs and formaldehyde, it references methods like ISO 16000-6 and ISO 16000-3. Chemical content analysis for heavy metals and phthalates in PVC flooring follows the GB/T 39560 series and GB/T 22048 standards respectively. Testing must be conducted under strictly controlled temperature, humidity, and air exchange rates.
