中国林产工业协会就美媒报道美企
进口中国所产地板质量不达标相关情况的声明


  近日,美国哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS)《新闻60分》播报的一期节目在国内外地板界引发轩然大波。该期节目提到,美国林木宝(LumberLiquidators)公司大量销售产自中国的强化木地板,其产品质量未能达到美国加利福尼亚州健康和安全法案标准。此新闻报道一出,引起中美两国地板企业和进出口商的高度关切。在此,中国林产工业协会通过《中国绿色时报》发表声明如下:


  1. 我们深切关注包括美国、中国消费者在内世界所有使用中国地板产品消费者的身心健康,我们坚决维护包括美国、中国消费者在内世界所有使用中国地板产品消费者的合法权益。


  2. 促进中国地板产业健康和可持续发展,维护中外销售商和消费者的合 法权益是中国林产工业协会的宗旨之一。我们也清醒地认识到,行业内部分企业管理水平还很落后,其产品质量控制和检测还不规范。


  3. 就CBS《新闻60分》节目我们有几点说明:

  第一,强化木地板属于人造板深加工产品,不属于美国加州CARB认证范围;
  第二,因为适用标准的原因,在美国加州不达标不代表在世界其他国家不达标;
  第三,如查实有个别中国企业恶意向美国合作方供应不达标产品,这些企业应该接受严惩;消费者应该对主流中国地板产品有信心。


  4.我们对CBS《新闻60分》该期节目部分内容留有疑问!


  5.我们感受到,CBS《新闻60分》该期节目播出后对整个中国地板行业已经造成了不良影响。这对于中国众多诚信经营、守法守规的地板生产企业是不公平的。中国地板业致力于为全世界生产物美价廉的地板产品,中国地板业的努力和贡献不应该因个别企业的短视行为而负累。希望国内外消费者能够公正公平地认知中国地板产品,中国木地板行业也需要不遗余力地恪守商业准则,推进诚信建设。


  6.中国政府和行业协会早已开展了一系列促进行业质量提升和诚信建设的行动,中国地板产业也正在加紧转型升级。


  7.我们深感,中美木地板产业相互依存,和则利,斗则害。实践证明两国木地板产业生产与市场互相补充、互相依赖,任何一方受困都将影响对方相关产业的健康和可持续发展。


  8.我们将协助政府部门调查中方相关企业是否对美国林木宝(Lumber Liquidators)公司和其他美国合作方有欺骗、欺诈或其他不诚信行为。


  9.我们保证持续推动中国地板行业质量提升,推进中国地板生产企业诚信建设,维护中外消费者的合法权益。


  10.我们欢迎并感谢国内外所有消费者对中国地板产业的关注和一切形式的监督。

Announcement ofCNFPIA on American Media’s Report on China-made
Flooring’s Failure in Qualifying CA Standard


  Recently,a report by 60 Minutes of Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) triggered a great disturbance in the flooring field at home and abroad. The programmementioned,Lumber Liquidators had sold a great deal of China-made laminate flooring which failed tomeet the California Occupational Health and Safety Act in quality.The news arouses high concern of flooring enterprises, importers and exporters in both countries. Herewith, China National Forest Product Industry Association(CNFPIA) makes an announcement on Chinese newspaper Green Times as follows:


  1. We are deeply concerned about the physical and mental health of American, Chinese and all other countries'consumers of China-made flooring. We firmly safeguard legal rights and interests of American, Chineseand all other countries' consumers of China-made flooring.


  2. To promote the sound and sustainable development ofChina’s flooring industry and safeguard legal rights and interests ofdistributors and consumers at home and abroad is one of the principles ofCNFPIA. We also soberly realized that some small enterprises in the field arestill under-developed in management and unimproved in control and test ofproduct quality.


  3. We have the following opinions on CBS report in 60Minutes:

  First, laminate flooring,as a deep-processing product of wood-based panel, is out of the certificationscope of California Air Resources Board (CARB).
  Second, due to the diversity of applicable standards, thefailure in qualifying CA’s standard does not mean the same situation in otherregions or countries.
  Third, in case that specific Chinese enterprises’ immoralsupply of unqualified products to their American partner are verified, theseseveral enterprises would suffer stringent punishment. And consumers should beconfident of the mainstream flooring made in China.


  4. We reserve doubts about some contents of the CBSreport in 60 Minutes.


  5. We have experienced the negative effect of the CBS report in 60 Minutes to Chinese flooring industry in general. This is unfair tonumerous honest and legitimate Chinese flooring production enterprises. Chinese flooring industry is engaged in producing high-quality and inexpensive productsfor the whole world. The efforts and contribution of Chinese flooring industry should not be weakened by the short sighted behaviors of a few enterprises. We hope domestic and foreign consumers to fairly and equally judge Chinese flooring products. Chinese flooring industry will also spare no effort inabiding by business codes and boosting honest operation.


  6. Chinese government and industrial association havecarried out a series of activities to improve product quality and honestoperation in the industry. Chinese flooring industry is also speeding up in industrial transformation and upgrading.


  7. We deeply understand that Chinese and Americanflooring industries, relying on each other, will gain from peaceful coexistence, and lose from conflicts. Practice proves that both countries, as producer and market, are complementary and interdependent. The predicament of either side will influence the sound and sustainable development of the counterpart's relevant industry.


  8. We’ll assist governmental departments to investigatewhether relevant Chinese enterprises perform cheat, fraud or other misconducts.


  9. We guarantee to continuously boost the qualityimprovement of Chinese flooring products and the honest operation of Chinese flooring producers, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers of China and foreign countries as well.


  10. We are appreciated to all consumers at home andabroad for their concern of and supervision in all forms to Chinese flooring industry.
