On August 1, 2012, the Chinese government released the National General Technical Specification for Redwood Furniture (GB28010-2011), which set new standards for rosewood furniture. Six months later, starting February 1, 2013, any rosewood furniture sold must meet these updated regulations, requiring the presence of "one manual, one certificate, one label" to ensure transparency and authenticity. This change marks a significant step towards regulating an industry that has long suffered from misinformation and inconsistent quality.
The introduction of these standards aims to provide consumers with clear, comprehensive details about the furniture they purchase. For instance, the labels will disclose whether the product has passed official inspections, specify the type of rosewood used, list the dimensions, main materials, decorative techniques, safety features, and warranty periods. Such transparency not only empowers buyers but also holds manufacturers accountable, reducing the potential for fraud or misleading practices.
Despite the February 1st compliance deadline, several major brands have already embraced the new guidelines ahead of schedule. United Rosewood, for example, has implemented a "Product Quality Assurance Card" for each piece of furniture, clearly indicating adherence to the new national standards. Pan Haiying, the general manager of United Rosewood, explained that while the standards don't mandate a specific format for these cards, creating a unified design, verifying data accuracy, and compiling necessary information is still a complex process. Similarly, Aomori Modern Oriental Furniture has fully complied with the requirements, ensuring all necessary documentation is in place.
However, smaller and mid-sized brands face challenges in meeting these deadlines due to the labor-intensive nature of producing the required documentation. Ren Cheng, the vice president at Lizai Home, noted that the store monitors compliance closely. With over a dozen rosewood furniture brands operating in its rosewood section, Lizai Home plans to conduct a thorough self-assessment of all brands by December 31, 2012. Any brand failing to meet the "manual, certificate, label" criteria will receive a warning, and if improvements aren’t made by February 1, 2013, they risk being removed from the store.
Industry insiders believe this new regulation serves as a triple safeguard for both the authenticity and quality of rosewood furniture. It also provides consumers with reliable information about what they're purchasing, significantly lowering the risks associated with buying such high-value items. While many larger brands are embracing these changes early, smaller operations may struggle to adapt in time, highlighting the need for continued oversight in the marketplace.
