VIGA Kraanfabrikant 
The Ningbo Quality Inspection Institute recently conducted a special retrospective supervision and spot check on the product quality of faucets (kranen) in Yongkang Hardware City, betrokken 15 fabrikanten. The origins include Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian en anderen 4 plaatsen, and the number of unqualified batches is 15 Batch, batch failure rate is 100%.
Among the unqualified indicators, alle artikelen van “eisen op het gebied van materiaalhygiëne” waren ongekwalificeerd, 14 batches van “corrosieweerstand van coating en beplating” items were unqualified and 10 batches van “markering” artikelen waren niet gekwalificeerd.
Ongekwalificeerd “eisen op het gebied van materiaalhygiëne” betekent dat het algemeen bekend is dat zware metalen de norm overschrijden, wat de gezondheid van de consument schaadt. Uit de inspectie bleek dat dit keer een van de producten was die werden bemonsterd, 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. Op dit moment, the most widely used faucet materials should be copper alloy and stainless steel.
Faucets with unqualified “coating en plating corrosieweerstand” 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”. Op december 1, de kraanstandaard genoemd “de strennende in de geschiedenis”-GB18145-2014 “Keramische afdichtingskraan Standaard” came into effect. The new national standard supplements and modifies existing standards in terms of water-saving performance and quality of faucets. Vergeleken met de originele standaard, the biggest change is the addition of 17 metal pollution such as lead, chroom, arseen-, mangaan, en Mercurius. The amount of precipitation is a mandatory clause. Onder hen, het bedrag van “leiding” that has attracted much attention is not more than 5 microgram/liter, die consistent is met de huidige Amerikaanse normen en de hoogste ter wereld is. De nieuwe norm is van toepassing op kranen van alle materialen.
In order to promote the implementation of the new standards, the first new national standard certification for faucets has also been launched. “Certificaat van metaalverontreinigingslimiet voor de afdichting Keramische plaatafdichting” is the first voluntary product certification for the new national standard of faucet. In de toekomst, 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.
The Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau stated that when consumers buy faucets, ze moeten gekwalificeerde producten kopen die via reguliere kanalen worden verkocht en door reguliere fabrikanten worden geproduceerd. It is best to choose products produced according to the new standard after December 1, 2014, and do not unilaterally pursue low prices. . Try to buy a faucet with copper alloy and stainless steel as the main material and excellent appearance quality.
