Champ d’application

This standard applies to all types of furniture products, including wood, plastic, soft, and children's furniture. It specifies the limit requirements for harmful substances and testing methods. Manufacturers must ensure their products comply with these mandatory limits before entering the Chinese market. It does not apply to purely structural building materials but specifically targets finished furniture items.

Exigences techniques

The standard specifies comprehensive limits for various harmful substances in furniture. For indoor furniture, it sets strict release limits for formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, xylene, and TVOC. These volatile organic compounds must not exceed the defined threshold values to ensure indoor air quality safety. For surface coatings, the standard regulates migratable hazardous elements such as antimony, arsenic, barium, and lead. This requirement is particularly stringent for infants' and children's furniture, where all accessible coated areas are monitored, whereas for general furniture, only color paint coatings are restricted. Additionally, the standard outlines limits for phthalates and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in plastic components, especially for plastic furniture and children's products. Suppliers of plastic furniture parts must verify compliance with these specific chemical restrictions. It also regulates decomposable aromatic amine colourants in textiles and leather, radionuclides in stone parts, and flame retardants in public space furniture.

Méthodes d’essai

Testing involves climate chamber methods to measure the release rates of formaldehyde and VOCs under specific temperature and humidity conditions. For chemical content, methods like GB/T 40906 are used for phthalates, and GB/T 40971 for PAHs. The standard also details specific measurement procedures for calculating the exposed area of soft furniture and the outline volume of wood furniture to ensure accurate testing parameters.

Questions fréquentes

What products are regulated under GB 18584-2024?

It applies to all types of furniture products. However, specific limits for certain substances like phthalates and migratable hazardous elements have targeted applicability, especially focusing on plastic components and infants' and children's furniture.

Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 18584?

The 2024 version is a consolidation that replaces GB 18584-2001 and GB 28481-2012. It removes obsolete requirements for soluble heavy metals, updates formaldehyde testing methods, and introduces new limits for benzene, TVOC, radionuclides, and migratable hazardous elements.

How does GB 18584-2024 differ from ISO standards?

The standard references international methodologies, such as using ISO 16000-3 for formaldehyde determination. However, it establishes stricter, unified national limits for a broader range of VOCs and specific materials like textiles and leather used in furniture.
