"Redwood" new national standard release tree species identification is still a problem

The new national standard "Redwood" (GB/T 18107-2017), which was revised only in the past 20 years, was officially released at the end of 2017 and will be officially implemented on July 1, 2018. Surprisingly, this national standard jointly issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China and the China National Standardization Administration Committee, industry associations and many large enterprises in the industry do not understand the specific content, but the industry is most concerned. The identification problem of the redwood species is still not solved by this new national standard.

33 kinds of change 29 kinds

Throughout the new standard of "Redwood", a total of 29 revisions were made. Among them, the most concerned part of the industry was the change of 33 species of redwood species from the original 33 species.

However, the tree species change is only a combination of the same species of different species: the bird foot rosewood in the rosewood rosewood, the Vietnamese rosewood is recognized as the synonym of the large fruit rosewood, not included in the redwood species; Dalbergia is black The black Dalbergia in the rosewoods was identified as the nickname of the knife-shaped black Dalbergia, and was not included in the redwood species; the cemetery in the ebony of the persimmon tree was cancelled. "The above species are different names of different trees and different species in different periods. This standard only unifies these names for future exchanges." Yin Ya, a principal drafter of the "Redwood" standard and a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Forestry Directions to the Beijing Business Daily reporter said.

In addition to merging some species of the same species, the new national standard also modified the six types of redwood characteristics in the eight categories, and added the "wood structure characteristics" and "odor" test methods.

For the revision of the "Redwood" standard, Deng Xuesong, chairman of the traditional furniture committee of the China Furniture Association, believes that the content should be a part of the fine-tuning, and the materials with the same material and different names will be merged. There is no cancellation. "These materials are not the dominant materials in the current mahogany furniture industry, so I don't think it will have any impact on the industry."

Deng Xuesong’s words have also been confirmed at the enterprise level. Yu Pengfei, general manager of Beijing Longshuncheng Chinese Furniture Co., Ltd. said: "The new "Redwood" standard has not changed much. Longshuncheng rarely uses the species involved in the standard change, so for Longshuncheng, the standard revision The impact is small."

Tree species identification is still difficult

The most interesting thing is that the standards that have been revised in the past 20 years still fail to solve the most concerned issue of consumers - how to determine the tree species when buying mahogany furniture.

The new national standard divides redwood into rosewood, rosewood, fragrant wood, black rosewood, red rosewood, ebony, striped ebony and chicken wing wood, and lists 8 types of rosewood. The main characteristics of the wood's structural characteristics, heartwood color, and odor are easy to identify the types of these raw materials. However, the categories are fragile and the species are difficult to judge. The judging of tree species in the standard adopts the method of double judgment of macroscopic structural features and microstructural features. Among them, the determination of the microstructure requires more determination of the characteristics of the catheter, the axial thin-walled tissue, the wood fiber, and the wood ray, which are difficult to judge with the naked eye.

"Red wood quality can only identify the class, but can not identify the specific tree species. This situation has been criticized by manufacturers and consumers of mahogany furniture, and it has also caused many problems for consumers." Deng Xuesong pointed to the new standard. Solve the identification problem and bring many problems to consumers.

What is more noteworthy is that in the event of a dispute, the standard is not only difficult to become a weapon to protect consumers, but also an umbrella for unscrupulous enterprises. The most expensive red rosewood, Dalbergia chinensis, costs about 300,000 yuan per ton, while Bari Dalbergia has only 50,000 yuan. "If there are unscrupulous merchants selling the barley Dalbergia to the consumers at the price of Pheasant Dalbergia, even if it is found by the consumers to be identified, it can only be identified as red rosewood, and it is impossible to identify the specific tree species, so if you go to court, Merchants may not lose." Deng Xuesong said with considerable concern.

Test execution effect

According to the official website of the National Standards Information Public Service Platform, the new national standard of "Redwood" will be implemented on July 1, 2018. During the interview, Beijing Business Daily reporter found that a number of heavyweights in the industry, such as the person in charge of the household circulation industry, the person in charge of the furniture association, and the famous enterprises in the industry, knew little about the specific contents after the new national standard was released. Chen Baoguang, an expert in redwood identification and vice chairman of the China Furniture Association, told the Beijing Business Daily reporter: "I know the revision of the new national standard of Redwood, but I did not participate in the revision. I did not know what was specifically modified."

According to a survey conducted by the Beijing Business Daily, most merchants have only listed the genus and class in the texture of the mahogany furniture label, and did not indicate the tree species. For example, in a redwood city in Nancheng, the various furniture in the mahogany furniture exhibition hall of the master craftsmanship did not place labels in prominent positions, nor did it indicate the texture of furniture. It is difficult for consumers to distinguish whether it is mahogany furniture or which category. Mahogany furniture of the tree species. Mingtang mahogany set of Zambia leaflet round table is the category of the new national standard that is not included in the redwood species, but it is still sold as mahogany. The price is more than 200,000 yuan, and it is higher than the variety of trees in the "Redwood" standard. Finished product price.

The industry's low attention means that the implementation will be greatly reduced. The revision of the new national standard of "Redwood" has already been raging in the industry. How to let enterprises implement after the revision, how to protect the interests of consumers, but it is a bigger problem.
