A few days ago, the reporter learned that the final new national standard "General Technical Conditions for Mahogany Furniture" as a basic standard does not technically define the range of tree species for mahogany furniture materials, so there is no "expanding the range of tree species", and the new national standard may not hope to add new tree species.
Increase tree species cause controversy
Yang Bo, chairman of Beijing Yuanhengli Hardwood Furniture Co., Ltd., told reporters that Yuanhengli, as one of the main drafting units, witnessed the hardship of the new national standard from drafting to approval. He said that whether to add new tree species is the focus of the industry's controversy over the new national standard. At the beginning of the formulation of the new national standard, from the perspective of sustainable development of the industry, it did consider adding new tree species, but in the end, the international public announcement did not include the expansion of the range of tree species.
In this regard, Yang Bo explained that the tree species used in mahogany furniture involve a variety of endangered tree species, and many of the materials used are protective resources in tropical forests. In recent years, due to the continuous development of the domestic rosewood market, the number of wood development and use has also increased. If new standards are added to new tree species, publicity in the WTO will cause international criticism and it is difficult to get recognition. Therefore, after the new national standard was approved by the public, the National Furniture Standardization Committee held a discussion in Shenzhen to remove the tree species appendix.
Therefore, the "General Technical Conditions of Mahogany Furniture" as a basic standard does not technically define the range of tree species for mahogany furniture materials, nor does it mention "expanding the range of tree species". The topic of increasing tree species will continue to be discussed in the mahogany standardization system in the future.
New tree species involve multiple interests
Adding new tree species from the initial uproar until the dust has settled now, some people rejoice and others worry. Liu Haichao, director of Liantian Redwood Marketing Center, told reporters that the development and use of new types of redwood timber can solve the dilemma of the lack of mahogany resources and ensure the sustainable development of the redwood industry.
Reporters visited the market and found that many companies hold the same view. On Redwood Street in the West Third Ring Road, many merchants said that at present, the domestic redwood resources are scarce, but the market demand is constantly expanding. In addition, the redwood exporting countries protect precious wood and restrict export. , Is even worse.
Fu Junmin, chairman of Xuanming Dianju, believes that if the new standards can expand the scope of wood and introduce new materials, it will have a guiding role for consumers; for enterprises, increasing the space for appreciation of materials will also ensure the sustainable development of enterprises. Has a positive effect.
Yang Jiaju, a research expert in the wood industry of the Chinese Academy of Forestry and the first drafter of the "China Redwood Standard", said that the new materials involve a wide range of types, and their price differences are too large. The real introduction will bring chaos to the market and cause market instability. To add new tree species, the standard name should be different from the redwood national standard.
Yin Yafang, secretary general of the Redwood Branch of the Forest Products Industry Association, told reporters that many companies want to stabilize the content of the existing national standard, and do not want to expand the scale. Huang Junhao, chairman of Shanghai Air Traffic Control Mahogany Furniture, agreed to stabilize 33 species in five categories and eight categories under the existing conditions, and to make high-quality mahogany furniture.
Hu Guyue, general manager of Beijing Fuxing Guyue Redwood Furniture Co., Ltd., said that the new national standard is the result of a multi-party game. Some companies believe that the national standard defines the tree species, regulates and stabilizes the market, and easily adding tree species will lead to market chaos. There are also some national standard vested interests, such as some large companies that produce fixed materials, do not want to expand the mahogany materials, fearing that adding new materials will cause their own enterprises to lose value and advantage, so they oppose adding new materials.
Yang Bo also believes that the interest relationship involved in adding new tree species is more complicated. It is necessary to consider not only the interests of various regions and enterprises, but also the interests of consumers, but also the international perspective on the industry and its impact.
New standards will promote market regulation
Yang Jiaju mentioned in an interview that the development and use of new mahogany tree species is a matter of time. The sustainability of the development of mahogany furniture determines the sustainability of its material selection. However, based on the current unsound market situation, it is easy to add new tree species. It will increase the difficulty of the country in the detection and identification of tree species, it will also make consumers feel confused, and will lead to more chaotic market order. The expansion of tree species must be judged from scientific data, and should not be rushed.
Yin Yafang also believes that regardless of any changes in the new standards, the current national standards should be followed, and there should be no contradictions, otherwise it may not be conducive to the further implementation and operation of law enforcement and quality inspection agencies. He pointed out that tree species that do not belong to mahogany are not necessarily bad. Enterprises can expand their product lines, but the tree species that do not belong to the existing national standard should be clearly stated, which does not hinder the sustainable development of the enterprise.
It is understood that this time, the new version of the national standard mainly includes ten items such as the scope, terms and definitions, requirements and quality of mahogany furniture. The standard "clarifies and standardizes the definition of mahogany furniture for the first time, and provides for the naming and identification of mahogany furniture by the name of the tree species whose products mainly use wood."
The industry believes that the implementation of the above standards will crack down on the "chaos" of the mahogany furniture market, regulate the current fair competition within the mahogany furniture industry, protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and promote the healthy development of mahogany furniture. Play a positive role in promoting.
