Key Points of Home Decor and Furniture Product Quality Inspection
Quality of Wood and Board:
- Visually check for cracks, warping, deformation, and damage to edges.
- Ensure the wood’s moisture content complies with industry standards to prevent future issues.
Fabric and Leather:
- Look for tears, stains, color inconsistencies, and loose threads on the fabric and leather.
- Verify that the fabric or leather has the required tension for durability.
Hardware and Connectors:
- Check the plating quality for uniformity, rust, peeling, or other imperfections.
- Confirm the firmness and secure attachment of all hardware and connectors.
Painting and Decoration:
- Inspect the paint/coating to ensure even application and absence of drips, patches, or bubbles.
- Check decorative elements (engravings, nameplates, etc.) for accuracy, quality, and secure attachment.
Structural Stability:
- Perform a shake test to determine if the furniture is structurally sound and free of looseness.
- Check chairs and seats for potential tipping or warping hazards.
- Verify the smooth operation of drawers, doors, and storage compartments, ensuring they close completely and fit properly when shut.
ECQA Furniture Inspection covers the following aspects:
- Appearance Inspection: Assesses the visual quality of the furniture products, checking for surface flaws, color consistency, pattern matching, and overall finish quality. This ensures the furniture products meet aesthetic standards and are free from defects.
- Product Size/Weight Inspection: Confirms that the furniture product meets the specified dimensions and weight tolerances. This ensures proper fit within the intended space and safe handling during transport and installation, impacting overall customer satisfaction.
- Assembly/Installation Inspection: Evaluates the ease and accuracy of assembly or installation processes, verifying that all parts are present and instructions are clear. This ensures the product can be assembled correctly and functions as intended, meeting quality requirements.
- Function Test: Function tests evaluate the performance and safety of various furniture components, including seating, storage mechanisms, mechanical systems, retractable features, and electrical components. These quality control processes ensure optimal comfort, functionality, and user experience while verifying compliance with safety standards.
- Transport Drop Test: Simulates the impact of drops during shipping and handling. The furniture is dropped from a specified height to evaluate its durability and resistance to damage, crucial for maintaining product quality throughout the supply chain.
- Static Load Test: Determines the furniture's maximum weight capacity when it's not in motion. This is crucial for chairs, tables, shelves, and any furniture meant to support weight, ensuring the product meets safety and quality standards.
- Stability Test & Shake Test: These tests are similar and aim to assess the furniture's resistance to tipping or wobbling. The shake test involves manually shaking the furniture by a quality inspector, while the stability test might involve applying force at specific points to evaluate tipping risk. Both tests are essential components of quality control and assurance.
- Odor Test: Identifies any unpleasant or potentially harmful odors emitted by the furniture. This is particularly important for products made with certain materials, ensuring a safe and pleasant customer experience.
- Humidity Test (Wooden Furniture): Assesses how wooden furniture reacts to changes in humidity. This is crucial as wood can expand or contract with fluctuations in humidity, potentially leading to warping, cracking, or other damage. This test helps to ensure that the wooden furniture products maintain their quality in various environments.
