Furniture Testing

Furniture is an indispensable equipment for life, work and study. Furniture generally has two functions: one is direct use function; the other is decoration function. Consumers mainly evaluate the value of a piece of furniture based on these two functions. The decorative function of furniture can be evaluated directly by vision, but it is difficult to evaluate the use function. For example, whether the size of furniture is appropriate, whether it is safe to use, whether the quality can be durable, and so on, these internal quality problems related to the use of functions, it is difficult to easily come to a conclusion. Therefore, both consumers and producers require the use of laboratory testing methods to evaluate certain properties of furniture based on standards. That is to investigate whether the furniture is stable, firm and durable enough under the normal use condition. Most national standards stipulate the methods and indicators of furniture testing. For example, the "Household Goods Quality Labeling Act" and "Consumer Protection Basic Law" issued by Japan require that furniture leave the factory must have a quality guarantee certificate, the indicators must comply with the national standards, and those who do not comply with or practice fraud will be punished.

Alfa Chemistry's testing capabilities include but not limited to:

Services	Description
Size	The size of furniture directly affects the function of furniture use.
Stability	Stability is an indicator to ensure the safety of furniture in use.
Rigidity	The ability of furniture to resist deformation under static load is the rigidity of furniture.
Structural strength	This is a key property of furniture. It consists of two meanings: one is the carrying capacity of the furniture, and the other is the ability of the furniture to repeatedly resist.
Durability	Mainly to test the elastic fatigue resistance of upholstered furniture elastic materials.
Comfort property	Whether or not to eliminate fatigue when using furniture is related to comfort.
Flexibility	It's just a performance for some furniture parts. For example, whether the drawer push and pull is difficult, whether the door switch is flexible, and so on.
Surface property	After treating the surface of furniture, it should have a certain degree of resistance to some bad conditions that may be encountered in use.
Processing quality	The fine degree of furniture processing, the quality of structural joint, finishing, decorative effect and wrapping technology, etc.
Others	For example, some furniture should be equipped with electrical equipment, so the electrical insulation and voltage resistance of certain parts should also be tested to ensure safety.
