The main export markets of furniture Chinese is a developed country American and Japan, EU etc.. In these countries, more and more consumers pay attention to resource, environment and other issues. The survey found, 67% Dutch, 77% of Americans, 80% of Germans want to buy less pollution to the environment of greenproducts, and are willing to with the price of 10%. Furniture and living environment is very close, is reflected in: (1) the large number of furniture, furniture occupies the halfof the bedroom area part of the family; (2) the majority of furniture contain chemicals,such as: sterilization agent for processing wood, artificial board adhesive, metal sheetsurface coating of various additives or heavy metal finishing layer and in plastic components etc..

    In early 1994, the Nordic promulgated the first green furniture standards "wooden furniture and furniture setting eco logo", the standard of furniture raw materials such as: wood, artificial board, plastic, metal, glass, chemical compositions, coatings andadhesives in packaging materials content made strict rules, and to prohibit the use oflead, chromium and other heavy metals material. Although the standard is a nonmandatory standards, but has a strong influence on consumer purchase behavior,environmental problems which prompted the furniture retailers, traders broughtattention to the furniture.

  The European Union recently announced the ban in furniture manufacturing,furniture, textiles and leather in the use of harmful substances list, for example:benzidine dyes carcinogenic chromium, lead and heavy metal lead VI dermatitis, etc..Although the United States has not yet announced similar mandatory, but the United States has always been the problems of environmental protection and safety is concerned, taking into account the 1999 between China and the United States on theceramic export disputes and then reached an agreement, there is reason to believe that the United States will soon be introduced similar regulations.

  The PRT laboratory is the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation Organization multilateral recognition agreement (International LaboratoryAccreditation Cooperation Mutual Recognition Arrangement) (ILAC, 2000) signed byauthorized institutions accredited laboratory, talents with international advancedfurniture testing equipment and chemical and physical professional, relying on itsstrong technical strength and equipment conditions, to provide comprehensive andaccurate furniture testing services and integrated solutions for customers.

General furniture classification:

Panel furniture, wood-based panel, paint, glue, hardware etc.

Soft furniture - plate, metal, cloth, leather etc.

Solid wood furniture, wood, metal, paint, glue, etc.

Common chemical test items of furniture:

- formaldehyde content testing of Formaldhyde content

And pentachlorophenol content test PCP content
