ICS CCS National Standard of the People's Republic of China ‌GB 18586-2026 Replaces GB 18586-2001 Indoor decorating and refurbishing materials - Limitations of harmful substances from carpets , carpet underlays, and polyvinyl chloride flooring 室内装饰装修材料 地毯、地毯衬垫和聚氯乙烯地板中有害物质限量 Issue date: 2026-03-31 Implementation date: 2027-04-01 Issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China the Standardization Administration of the People's Republic of China Contents Foreword 1 Scope 2 Normative References 3 Terms and Definitions 4 Requirements 5 Test Methods 6 Implementation of the Standard Indoor decorating and refurbishing materials — Limit of harmful substances of carpets, carpet cushions and polyvinyl chloride floor coverings 1 Scope This document specifies the limit requirements for the release of harmful substances from carpets, carpet cushions and polyvinyl chloride floor coverings, and describes the corresponding test methods. This document applies to carpets, carpet cushions and polyvinyl chloride floor coverings. 2 Normative references The contents of the following documents constitute indispensable provisions of this document through normative references. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition (including any amendments) applies. GB/T 4615 Polyvinyl chloride — Determination of residual vinyl chloride monomer — Gas chromatographic method GB/T 17657—2022 Test methods of evaluating the properties of woodbased panels and surface decorated woodbased panels GB/T 22048 Determination of certain phthalate plasticisers in toys and children’s products GB/T 29899—2024 Determination of the emission of volatile organic compounds from woodbased panels and their products — Small chamber method GB/T 34842 Footwear — Chemical test method — Determination of formamide GB/T 35457 Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings — Test method for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions GB/T 39560.4 Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products — Part 4: Determination of mercury in polymers, metals and electronics by CVAAS, CVAFS, ICPOES and ICPMS GB/T 39560.5 Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products — Part 5: Determination of cadmium, lead and chromium in polymers and electronics, and cadmium and lead in metals by AAS, AFs, ICPOES and ICPMS GB/T 39560.6 Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products — Part 6: Determination of polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in polymers by gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GCMS) GB/T 39560.702 Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products — Part 72: Hexavalent chromium — Determination of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] in polymers and electronics by colorimetric method ISO 16000-3 Indoor air — Part 3: Determination of formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds in indoor and test chamber air — Active sampling method ISO 16000-6 Indoor air — Part 6: Determination of organic compounds (VVOC, VOC, SVOC) in indoor and test chamber air by active sampling on sorbent tubes, thermal desorption and gas chromatography using MS or MSFID 3 Terms and definitions The following terms and definitions apply to this document. 3.1 textile floor coverings Products having a use surface (pile surface) composed of textile materials, generally intended to be laid on the floor. NOTE: Textile floor coverings may be plain or patterned. 3.2 carpet underlay An elastic layer placed between the carpet and the floor, made of textile materials and/or other materials. 3.3 air change rate Ratio of the volume of clean air entering the emission test chamber per hour to the effective volume of the emission test chamber. 3.4 emission test chamber Chamber with controllable operating parameters used to test the emission of volatile organic compounds from floor coverings. 3.5 product loading factor Ratio of the exposed surface area of the test specimen to the effective volume of the chamber. 3.6 areaspecific emission rate; SER. The mass of volatile organic compounds released per unit time and per unit area of the test specimen within a given period after the start of the test. NOTE: "Specific emission rate" is sometimes used instead of "areaspecific emission rate". 3.7 total volatile organic compound; TVOC Sum of the concentrations of identified or unidentified volatile organic compounds separated on a nonpolar capillary column and detected by gas chromatography, with retention times between nhexane and nhexadecane, inclusive. NOTE: Individually determined compounds may be quantified separately. Unidentified peak areas are converted to concentrations using the toluene response factor. 3.8 polyvinyl chloride flooring Flooring intended for indoor floor covering, produced primarily from polyvinyl chloride as the main raw material. 4 Requirements 4.1 Limit requirements for the release of harmful substances from carpets and carpet cushions 4.1.1 The limit requirements for the release of harmful substances from carpets shall comply with the provisions of Table 1.
