Testing instruments help furniture to detect the safety of formaldehyde emissions
Recently, the 'Notice on the Results of Quality Supervision and Spot Checks of Furniture Products in 2020' published on the website of the Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau shows that in the second quarter of 2020, the Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau organized and carried out quality supervision and random inspections of furniture products. A total of 170 batches of products sold by 81 companies were randomly checked this time, and 4 batches of unqualified samples were found in the inspection, and the discovery rate of unqualified products was 2.4%. The unqualified items are mainly: formaldehyde emission. According to the requirements of the 'Limits of Hazardous Substances in Finished Furniture and Raw and Auxiliary Materials' (SZJG52-2016) standard, this supervision and spot check has tested five mandatory items such as formaldehyde emission, benzene emission and toluene emission of furniture products. . A total of 4 batches of furniture were found to be unqualified in formaldehyde emission, involving Jinkeer (Shanghai) Bedding Co., Ltd., Hongjiafu Furniture (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Mengtiantian Furniture Co., Ltd., and Zhongshan Yili Office Furniture. Co., Ltd. and other (nominal) production units. According to reports, formaldehyde has been identified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization. Formaldehyde is mainly irritating to the skin and mucous membranes. Direct contact with formaldehyde on the skin can cause allergic dermatitis, pigmentation, and necrosis. Inhalation of high concentrations of formaldehyde can induce bronchial asthma. Frequent inhalation of a small amount of formaldehyde can cause chronic poisoning, mucosal congestion, skin irritation, and allergic dermatitis. At present, my country's current indoor air quality standards stipulate the activity and concentration limits of various indoor pollutants. Among them, the standard value of formaldehyde is 0.10mg/m2. GB/T 26706-2011 'Standard for Brown Fiber Elastic Mattresses for Upholstered Furniture' stipulates that the formaldehyde emission in brown mattresses should not exceed 0.05㎎/㎡.h. According to various formaldehyde detection standards, at present, the methods for detecting formaldehyde in domestic and foreign rooms, textiles and food mainly include spectrophotometry, electrochemical detection method, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, sensor method, etc. Among them, spectrophotometry is a qualitative and quantitative analysis method established based on the selective absorption of electromagnetic radiation by substances with different molecular structures. For different application fields, the method covers the acetylacetone method, the phenol reagent method, the AHMT method, the magenta-sulfurous acid method, the color-changing acid method, and the catalytic photometric method. In addition, the general public can also contact the relevant formaldehyde testing companies. The formal companies are more professional, so as to prevent the situation that the quality of the instruments is not high and the harm is ignored. At present, there are many formaldehyde testing companies in the testing market. As more and more people pay attention to this hazard, the market will become wider and wider. And if the company has the national CMA qualification, its test data can be used as a legal basis. It is not difficult to see that formaldehyde is a carcinogenic gas that is extremely harmful to the human body, and everyone must pay attention. It is believed that in the future, there will be more and more standard formaldehyde gas detection, and the formaldehyde detection instrument will have a wider development space to match it.

Cut resistance is one of the most critical performance indicators in personal protective equipment (PPE) testing, directly affecting worker safety in high-risk industries such as metal processing, machinery manufacturing, and emergency rescue. The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 plays a vital role in accurately evaluating the cut resistance of PPE products, including gloves, protective clothing, footwear materials, composite materials, rubber, and industrial textiles.
By adopting high-precision force control systems, intelligent data processing, and stable transmission technology, the GT-KC28 TDM Cut Tester can accurately measure the critical cutting force of materials and ensure excellent repeatability and comparability of test results. Its user-friendly touch-screen operation, comprehensive data storage, USB data export, and built-in thermal printer greatly improve laboratory efficiency and data traceability.
The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 fully complies with major international and national standards such as ISO 13997, EN 388, ASTM F2992/F2992M, ANSI/ISEA 105, and GB 24541-2022, making it a reliable solution for PPE manufacturers, third-party testing laboratories, and research institutions. Through precise and standardized cut resistance testing, the GT-KC28 helps reduce industrial cutting injuries, supports PPE certification across global markets, and ensures that protective equipment delivers reliable safety performance in real-world applications.
The Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is a specialized testing instrument designed for evaluating the heat resistance and thermal protective performance of gloves, protective clothing, and other heat-resistant materials used in high-temperature environments. In industries such as smelting, casting, welding, and glass manufacturing, workers are frequently exposed to intense heat, making accurate testing of contact heat resistance essential for ensuring safety and compliance.
GT-C101 simulates real working conditions by measuring heat transfer delay and thermal transmission under instant contact with high-temperature surfaces. Fully compliant with EN 407, EN 702, and ISO 12127-1 standards, this machine provides precise, repeatable data for manufacturers, laboratories, and research institutions. With high-temperature capability up to 500°C, advanced calorimetry, digital monitoring, and adjustable contact speed, the Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is an indispensable tool for developing and certifying next-generation PPE and heat-insulation materials.
