SMM: in order to implement the requirement of "replacing wood with aluminum" in green manufacturing, Guangdong Standardization Association issued the group standard of "General Technical conditions of Aluminum Alloy Furniture cabinets" on June 30th, 2020, in order to lead the improvement of the quality of aluminum alloy cabinets.

Industry experts said that all the technical indicators of the new group standard are required to meet or better than the relevant national standards, and after the implementation of the group standard, it will promote and promote the upgrading of aluminum alloy cabinet products.

The quality of aluminum alloy cabinet products is uneven due to the lack of standards.

"made in China 2025" proposes to carry out green manufacturing in an all-round way and speed up the construction of an industrial structure and mode of production with high scientific and technological content, low resource consumption and less environmental pollution. "replacing wood with aluminum" is an important measure to implement this plan.

In recent years, driven by the national strategy, the application scope of aluminum alloy materials is rapidly developing to breadth and depth, and the cabinet products in aluminum alloy furniture are emerging as a new force, because they comply with the requirements of national green manufacturing and environmental protection policy. it is also favored by the market because of its strong and durable, moth-proof, moisture-proof and fireproof, zero formaldehyde, green environmental protection and recyclability. Manufacturers all over the country have invested in the R & D and production of aluminum alloy furniture.

It is understood that at present, in addition to a number of professional furniture factories in Guangdong producing aluminum alloy furniture products, more than 200 enterprises that originally produced building profiles have also invested in the production of aluminum alloy furniture, especially cabinets. However, due to the lack of national product standards for aluminum alloy cabinets, the production enterprises go their own ways, and the product quality is uneven, and some products are still in a simple and rough processing state, such as cold appearance and monotonous color. there is a gap between the overall quality level of products and the advanced level of aluminum alloy furniture manufacturing in the world, such as Italy and so on.

After the implementation of the group standard, the quality of aluminum alloy cabinet products will be further improved.

For the healthy and rapid development of aluminum alloy furniture industry, there is an urgent need for advanced standards to lead and standardize. In this regard, the Guangdong Standardization Association issued on June 30 the group standard of "General Technical conditions for Aluminum Alloy Furniture cabinets" jointly drafted by 13 well-known enterprises, including Guangdong Weiye Aluminum Factory Group Co., Ltd.

The core elements of the group's standard "technical requirements" include general requirements, materials and accessories, dimensional specifications and tolerances, appearance quality, surface physical and chemical properties, mechanical properties, safety properties, installation requirements, etc., all the technical indicators included are required to meet or exceed the provisions of the relevant national standards. Among them, the highlight is to focus on innovation from two aspects, in order to improve the quality grade and level of aluminum alloy cabinet products.

One is the appearance quality of the product. In addition to requiring the appearance of the product to meet the basic requirements of neatness, brightness, no obvious color difference and defects, the standard recommends and promotes the use of anodizing, electrophoresis, powder spraying, painting and transfer wood grain, stone grain, pattern and other surface treatment technologies on the product surface, especially the materials that are transferred to wood grain on the surface of aluminum alloy profiles are most used in cabinet products. So that the product surface decoration to form wood grain, stone grain, pattern and other styles, patterns, tones, strive for realistic effect, "not natural, better than natural;" Not wood, better than wood ", in order to improve the beauty of the product."

Second, product installation requirements. The standard recommends and promotes the use of inner corner code installation in component installation. It is understood that the installation of aluminum alloy components with inner corner code is a new technology that appeared only last year, which solves the problem of "veil" phenomenon such as exposed seams and burr edges in the installation of aluminum alloy components. The standard puts forward that it is appropriate to improve the technical level of installation so as to achieve the requirements of firmness, smoothness, compactness, non-opening and non-seepage of seams, so as to improve the safety and refinement level of product structure.

"after the implementation of the group standard, it will promote and promote the upgrading of aluminum alloy cabinet products." The expert group reviewed that the group's standards are technologically advanced and applicable, meet the actual needs of enterprises, and provide technical guidance and technical support for the quality upgrading of aluminum alloy cabinet products.

The US Fed has announced that it will maintain the capital levels of large banks unchanged during the upcoming stress test cycle (corresponding to the 2026 cycle). At the same time, the US Fed is planning multidimensional reforms to this annual test, aiming to enhance its transparency. The US Fed's Vice Chair for Supervision, Bowman, revealed that adjustments to the stress capital buffer requirements for large banks will be postponed until 2027. This move is intended to provide the US Fed with sufficient time to evaluate potential flaws that may be exposed in its testing models when assessing banks' financial conditions under simulated economic downturn scenarios.
