Learning to do a good job in factory inspection is a basic compulsory course for furniture companies.

As a part of the quality management system, the factory inspection of furniture products will pass the inspection and the products will directly enter the market circulation field. Therefore, all furniture enterprises should pay sufficient attention. This issue is the same as the previous listening language hall, combined with the 2018 annual quality analysis report, which outlines the quality risk points of several categories of furniture, and further guides the furniture enterprises to carry out the factory inspection.

According to the data of the quality analysis report issued by the 2018 Side Test, we can know:

For children's furniture, the most common risk points are dangerous corners, holes and gaps, sharp edges and tips, extrusion/shear points, warning signs, and more. In the previous lectures, Yuan Muwang, a technical engineer at Side Testing, shared with you how to write a checklist of children's furniture, how to master the key indicators of children's bunk beds, and other knowledge about children's furniture quality.

For wood furniture, the most common risk points are woodworking requirements and physical and chemical properties of the film. In the woodworking requirements, except for some processing defects, the main unqualified items are non-interfacing surfaces of wood-based panel parts that are not edged or finished. For example, the bottom of the drawer is made of plywood, but some sides of the bottom plate are exposed and are not edged or finished. The physical and chemical properties of the paint film, the main unqualified items are paint film impact resistance, paint film adhesion, paint film resistance to dry heat and paint film wear resistance.

The bottom of the drawer is plywood and is not edged or finished.

For soft furniture, the main unqualified items are the outer dimensions of the product, the physical properties of the sponge, the mechanical properties of the product and the environmental performance. At present, in the national light industry standard requirements for sofas and soft beds, the environmental performance of the overall sofa and soft bed is blank, which makes it easy for enterprises to ignore their environmental performance in the production process. With the implementation of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone technical standard SZJG52 and the national recommended standard GB/T 35607, the environmental performance of soft furniture has a reference. The material of the soft furniture is more complicated than other furniture. In the interior of the furniture, it is customary to quote the artificial board without the surface treatment, so it is easy to cause the environmental performance index to be unqualified. Therefore, companies need to take focused attention and important measures.

For metal furniture, although the number of enterprises producing such furniture is relatively small, there are many types of products and related product standards. Therefore, the production enterprises are also required to be high, and enterprises should be familiar with various standards. According to statistics, the desk and chair products are mainly reflected in the uncovered hole size, the end of the metal pipe is not sealed and the stability of the chair is poor; the apartment bed is mainly reflected in the size of the guardrail, the ladder size does not meet the standard requirements and the strength of the bed surface; office chair Mainly reflected in the unsatisfactory durability of the casters; the file cabinet is mainly reflected in the strength test of the shelf support, the strength test of the push-pull member and the vertical static load test of the sliding door.

In summary, many of the phenomena that do not meet the standard requirements can be avoided before the furniture leaves the factory. For example, the end of the metal pipe fittings in the appearance performance is not sealed, and the appearance of the product should be found and rectified; the depth of the sofa seat should be between 480mm and 600mm, which can be checked by gage measurement; the hole and clearance of children's furniture are equipped. The probe can check and so on. The main reason is that enterprises do not pay attention to national standards, or do not understand the standards, resulting in product design, raw material procurement and production processes are deviated from the standard, ignoring the importance of the entire production chain for key links.

As far as national standards are concerned, if it is to classify its standard requirements, the recommendations are divided into: appearance size, physical and chemical properties, safety requirements, mechanical properties, hazardous substances limits and product instructions. At the same time, in the product design, raw material procurement and production process, the production is carried out according to the standard. At the end of the factory inspection, the furniture is “simple” before leaving the factory to avoid inferior products entering the market. However, factory inspections generally only test items such as appearance dimensions, physical and chemical properties, safety requirements, and product instruction manuals. As for other projects, it is recommended to send a third-party testing agency to the third-party testing organization for quality inspection after the product is proofed.

So how should a furniture company conduct factory inspections? The main points should be as follows:

First, familiarize yourself with the various standards related to the product for the products produced by the company itself;

Second, as mentioned above, collect the risk points of various products in the testing process, and guide the factory inspection;

Third, for the risk point, combined with the standard requirements, set the "factory factory inspection list", the list of contents generally includes inspection items, standard requirements, testing tools, inspection icons and test results. It is recommended to review the courses shared by the teacher of the testing team of Yuande, Yuan Muwang. The commonly used inspection tools include tape measure, steel ruler, micrometer, vernier caliper, probe, cone, fillet gauge, feeler gauge and moisture meter. . These instruments are inexpensive and can be purchased from equipment suppliers;

Finally, it is said that a distribution agency and nine points will be implemented. The enterprise quality control department should implement all the work.

The above content is mainly to guide enterprises to carry out furniture factory inspection in a more direction, to close this link in the quality management system, and to prevent inferior products from entering the market. In view of the excessive number of furniture products and standards involved, only directional guidance is provided here, and no detailed description is given. Further communication with the Saide Testing Technology Engineer is welcome.
