"General Rules for Labeling Furniture" released solid wood is not expected to be resolved
In recent developments, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision has released the “Notice on Soliciting Opinions for the Beijing Municipal Standard ‘General Rules for the Labeling of Furniture Marks’.†This means that all furniture products sold in Beijing will now have a standardized “identity card†to ensure clarity and transparency. The standard defines categories such as solid wood furniture, veneered wood furniture, and wood-based panel furniture, and mandates that all products be labeled in a uniform format.
For example, the well-known brand East Home (flgj.cnjiaju.com) is already following these guidelines, offering clear and consistent labeling for its products.
**Market Labeling Is Not Uniform**
Consumer Xiao Wang often feels overwhelmed when shopping for furniture. Salespeople frequently use terms like “all solid wood,†“solid wood,†“board wood,†and “panel furniture,†which can confuse buyers who are not familiar with the industry.
During a visit to a local furniture store on November 25th, most storefronts used a unified price tag format from Jimei Home. These tags included product names, specifications, brand numbers, grades, pricing units, origin, color, main materials, auxiliary materials, retail prices, and staff information, along with a note saying “clear price, no negotiation.â€
Previously, many stores had their own label formats, but some independent brands still used their own standards. However, in smaller stores, labels were often handwritten and lacked consistency, making it hard for consumers to get accurate information.
**Standards Will Regulate Markets and Industries**
Luo Wei, executive deputy director of the National Furniture and Indoor Environmental Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, explained that the reason for this new standard is due to the chaotic labeling seen in many furniture stores, especially small ones. Inconsistent or unclear labels led to consumer confusion and misunderstandings.
He noted that previous regulations on furniture labeling were limited and outdated. With the development of the industry, these rules failed to keep up, leading to ambiguity in product descriptions. Once implemented, the new standard is expected to reduce material fraud in furniture sales.
The drafting committee includes major companies like Jimei Home, Top 100 Furniture, and Qumei Furniture, showing broad industry support.
**Detailed Classification in the Standard**
The standard categorizes furniture into five types: wooden, metal, soft, glass, and other furniture. Wooden furniture is further divided into solid wood, veneered wood, wood-based panel, integrated wood, and mahogany furniture. Soft furniture includes full leather sofas, leather sofas, artificial leather sofas, fabric sofas, and more.
According to the Consumer Association, material disputes in the furniture sector have been significant. Some unscrupulous sellers mislabel products, such as passing off wood-based panel furniture as solid wood. Under the new standard, any false labeling could result in penalties for the seller.
**Glossary of Terms**
- **Solid Wood Furniture**: All parts (except mirrors, trim, and hardware) are made of solid wood.
- **Veneered Wood Furniture**: The base is solid wood, while the surface is not covered.
- **Wood-Based Panel Furniture**: Made from panels like fiberboard, particleboard, or plywood.
- **Integrated Wood Furniture**: Combines solid wood and wood-based panels.
- **Mahogany Furniture**: Made using traditional Chinese hardwood techniques.
- **Metal Furniture**: Mainly made of metal, with optional wood, leather, or fabric components.
- **Full Leather Sofa**: Entire surface (except the bottom) is natural leather.
- **Leather Sofa**: Seat and backrest surfaces are natural leather; other parts may be artificial.
- **Artificial Leather Sofa**: Main surface is artificial leather.
- **Fabric Sofa**: Covered with fabric like wool or cotton.
- **Cloth Sofa**: Covered with leather or artificial leather.
**Industry Response**
Many companies welcome the new standard, as it benefits both consumers and businesses. Clear labeling helps prevent disputes and ensures better consumer protection. For instance, Jimei Home has already started using unified price tags with detailed material and specification information. Any business failing to comply may face penalties.
Consumers can now easily check labels to verify if a product is truly “solid wood†or not. This transparency builds trust and simplifies the purchasing process.
