Ningbo Quality Supervision Bureau spot-checked 15 faucet enterprises, all failed

The Ningbo Quality Inspection Institute recently conducted a special retrospective supervision and spot check on the product quality of faucets (rubinetti) in Yongkang Hardware City, involving 15 Produttori. The origins include Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian è altri 4 PIAZI, and the number of unqualified batches is 15 Batch, batch failure rate is 100%.

Among the unqualified indicators, tutti l'articuli di “esigenze di igiene materiale” eranu micca qualificati, 14 lotti di “resistenza à a corrosione di u rivestimentu è u plating” items were unqualified and 10 lotti di “marcatura” l'articuli ùn sò micca qualificati.

Unqualified “esigenze di igiene materiale” significa chì i metalli pisanti sò cumunimenti cunnisciuti cum'è sopra à u standard, chì dannu a salute di i cunsumatori. L'ispezione hà truvatu chì trà i prudutti mostrati sta volta, zinc alloy materials were used as the main product material accounted for 50%.

Although the relevant standards do not specify which materials to use, the use of zinc alloy materials is likely to exceed the standard for heavy metals, and zinc itself is a heavy metal, and excessive amounts will cause zinc fever. Attualmente, the most widely used faucet materials should be copper alloy and stainless steel.

Faucets with unqualified “resistenza à a corrosione di rivestimentu è di placcatura” are prone to rust after use, which affects the appearance. After corrosion, they may also contain toxic components, such as patina, which is highly toxic.

CCTV has repeatedly reported on heavy metal incidents such as excessive lead in faucets. This is also a catalyst for the introduction of the new version of the “Standard for Ceramic Sealing Sheet Faucets”.

In order to promote the implementation of the new standards, the first new national standard certification for faucets has also been launched. “Certificate of metal pollutant precipitation limit for ceramic sheet sealing faucet” is the first voluntary product certification for the new national standard of faucet. In u futuru, it may play the role of “3C certification in the bathroom industry” and become the market access for faucet products. certificate. The first batch of certified companies meeting the national standard will be announced at the end of the year.
