Guangdong Province wants to introduce new standards for bathroom hardware

In response to the current status of differences in the quality standards of ceramic faucet sealing faucets for bathroom hardware products and market sales, the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Standardization is brewing new standards.

It is understood that the project standards for the appearance quality, pipe thread accuracy, cold and hot water mark, flow rate, sealing performance, cold and hot fatigue test, and valve body strength of ceramic sealing faucets currently on the market are in accordance with national standards GB18145-2003. The "ceramic seal nozzle" provisions of the implementation. However, with the rapid development of the sanitary ware industry, the new materials and new processes are widely used in the field of sanitary hardware products, and there are differences between the current national standard and products sold in the market.

Guangdong Provincial Institute of Standardization as a national, industry standards developed the main unit, with timely repair and development of national and industry standards, in order to make the national standard can be more closely related to the development of the industry, to supervise the quality of bathroom hardware products, the special organization The expert group went deep into the company's field trip.

According to Chen Xuezhang, the current implementation of the national standard, many companies can not meet the requirements of products, including the provisions of the national standard projects are too general and can not match the new technology products and other reasons. “If the salt spray test must reach the 10th level, the company proposes to revise the standard and reduce the salt spray test compliance standard to 9th level. If the qualified rate of the 9th national pumping rate rises, the consumer will use the leading The actual quality has dropped.” Chen Xuezhang said that the new standards need to be further studied before they can be introduced. In particular, downgrading requires more care, but the refinement of standards is a direction, such as the mandatory grade of products after downgrading. Classification, 9 products that meet the standards are qualified products, and those products that meet the 10 standards are first-class products or superior products to differentiate.

According to Ding Yanfei, a senior engineer of Huayi sanitary certification, the raw materials and technology of the product directly affect the health of the user. The supervision of the national standard is conducive to standardizing the development of the bathroom industry market and serves as a guide for consumption. Huayi Sanitary has applied for the certification experience of various countries in the world for many years, and has different requirements for the leading quality in different countries. “The restrictions on the growth and spread of non-metallic micro-organisms in EU countries are very stringent. Australia is concerned with the detection of de-zinc in taps, microbial growth, and water efficiency (guided consumption) in taps, while the United States and Canada Focusing on the problem of precipitation of heavy metals, Korean KS certification is the most rigorous. It integrates regulations and standards of major powers. There are not many companies that can pass the certification, but China only has Huayi.” Ding Yanfei suggested that if new standards are to be introduced, they must Test objects, test costs, identification labels, market acceptance, and the proportion of people involved in drafting regulations are considered in detail.

“The introduction of the New Deal will surely bring about pain in the industry, and the ideal ratio should be 3:3:3, so as to promote the progress of the market, and ultimately benefit the consumers.” Chen Han, sales manager of Huayi Sanitary, said, The ratio of 3:3:3 is one-third of the companies participating in the inspection are fully up to standard, one-third of the companies can reach the target through hard work, and the other one-third of the companies are eliminated.

With the strengthening of the country’s water conservation policy and the continuous improvement of the society’s awareness of environmental protection, water-saving products will surely become the products that the relevant departments focus on. At the same time, the majority of consumers are also paying more attention to the water saving effect and quality of products. In September this year, the AQSIQ, the Ministry of Water Resources, and the National Water Conservation Office jointly notified the results of spot checks on water-saving products, of which nearly 60 were unqualified. On the 6th of this month, CCTV’s “Weekly Quality Report” featured program coverage. The current market on the water-saving toilet and water-saving faucet and other product quality issues, and announced 12 unqualified product list, a number of well-known bathroom brands among them. From the supervision of the relevant state departments, we can find that the quality supervision of water-saving products is becoming increasingly strict.
