At present, China is a global furniture production center, and the total trade volume of furniture accounts for one fifth of the world. Polyvinyl chloride artificial leather is one of the important raw materials for furniture. With the continuous development of the furniture industry, the demand for artificial leather is increasing day by day. Due to its wear resistance, good physical properties, durability, and high cost-effectiveness, polyvinyl chloride artificial leather is widely replacing genuine leather, and its scope of use is constantly expanding and refining in the furniture industry. It is understood that the standard for PVC artificial leather for furniture is still blank at home and abroad. At the same time, China's yacht industry has also developed rapidly in recent years, with the overall yacht production capacity ranking among the top ten globally. In addition to excellent export performance, the number of domestic yachts is also constantly increasing, driving a surge in the number of polyvinyl chloride artificial leather used for yachts. Due to the unique nature of the yacht environment, polyvinyl chloride synthetic leather products must meet the environmental requirements for use. Artificial leather for yachts is an emerging product in China, and the standard specifications are still blank. In order to strengthen industry management, standardize industry standards, lead industry standards, and further align with international standards, it is necessary to establish industry standards for PVC artificial leather for furniture and yachts in accordance with standardized work requirements, promote industry technological progress, and better participate in international competition.

Drafting unit of industry standard for PVC artificial leather for furniture

The drafting of industry standards for "PVC Artificial Leather for Furniture" and "PVC Artificial Leather for Yachts" is undertaken by Foshan Gaoming Weishida Plastic Co., Ltd. Weishida Company is one of the largest manufacturers and exporters of PVC artificial leather for furniture and yachts in China. The standard was developed by Foshan Weishibao Leather Company, which is one of the largest distribution units of PVC artificial leather for furniture in China. The established Weibo leather brand has a profound impact in the furniture industry and has a wide customer base. Through feedback from cutting-edge markets, Weibo leather fully recognizes the importance of standardization in the artificial leather industry. In the promotion of industry standardization, Weibo leather company is also one of the main participating units in standard formulation. At the same time, the two companies are also benchmark products and technologies in the artificial leather industry. The company under Weibao has a high-quality technology team and relatively complete testing equipment, as well as a group of professional personnel who draft and formulate standard work foundations. In addition, the enterprise standard for PVC artificial leather for furniture has been filed by the Technical Supervision Bureau.

The meeting requested and pointed out that the formulation of standards should be synchronized with the product quality level, scientific and technological achievements and patents should be incorporated into the standards as technical elements, and the purpose of representing the progressiveness nature of the industry, leading the development of the industry, and eliminating backward products should be achieved. Therefore, when formulating standards, it is necessary to add four indicators, including stitching fastness, wear resistance, color migration, and anti adhesion, while highlighting ecological characteristics and meeting basic usage requirements. The standard drafting work is required to be completed by the end of December 2012. The standard drafting unit must strengthen its organizational strength, organize and implement the drafting team as soon as possible, and add drafting units if necessary. The formulation of standards is directly related to the importance attached by local governments to standard work. We hope to further consolidate the foundation of the "China Artificial Leather and Synthetic Leather Manufacturing Base" in Gaoming District, Foshan City through the guidance of standard drafting and the attention of local government departments.
