Every April and May is the peak season for home improvement. The company has more customer orders, and the sales volume of the products is larger. The consequent consumer complaints have also increased significantly. In order to purchase reliable home products, in addition to the basic knowledge of consumers themselves, the supervision of external forces is also essential. From the irregular inspections conducted by the AQSIQ and the local quality inspection bureaus, not only can consumers be alerted, but more importantly, they can effectively promote the healthy and orderly development of the industry. Which household items are the focus of the quality inspection department? Where are the problems often?
At the beginning of 2017, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine announced the list of “National Key Quality Supervisionâ€, in which the risk level of wooden furniture and children's furniture is i-level (i-level risk products are closely related to consumers, and the domestic market has a large amount of circulation. There are many cases of product quality and safety problems, involving products of specific consumer groups); sanitary ware, ceramic tiles, drainage fittings, and faucets have a risk level of ii (ii-level risk products refer to large-scale domestic market circulation, product quality and safety issues) Medium, supervised spot checks on products with lower pass rate), home textiles risk grades in grades ii and iii.
Bathroom products: quality and safety hazards
Every year, the quality inspection operation, the sanitary industry is constantly turbulent, the biggest test is that the product quality does not meet the national mandatory standards, or does not meet the standard level of self-declaration and commitment of the enterprise, there are major quality and safety risks. In January 2017, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine conducted a random inspection of 200 batches produced by 200 enterprises in 13 provinces (cities) including Beijing, Hebei, Liaoning, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, Chongqing and Sichuan. The secondary ceramic sheet seals the faucet product. After inspection, 36 batches of products produced by 36 companies were unqualified, and the detection rate of unqualified products was 18%. In the second half of last year, quality inspections also involved bathroom products. In August 2016, the official website of Shanghai Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau announced the results of the quality supervision and inspection of Shanghai shower products in 2016. This time, 20 batches of products were randomly selected. After inspection, the failure rate was 20%. In September 2016, the official website of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine notified the special inspection of the national supervision of smart toilet product quality in 2016, and randomly selected 68 batches of products produced by 58 enterprises, of which 12 batches were unqualified, and the pass rate of product sampling was 17.6%.
Consumer Tips: When consumers purchase bathroom products, they should try to choose regular sales channels, choose brands with higher reputation as much as possible, and keep the purchase vouchers in order to protect their legitimate rights and interests when quality problems arise. At the same time, do not buy goods that are significantly lower in price than similar products. It is best to check the manufacturer's name and address when purchasing.
Home textile products: raw materials are the source of quality
The blacklist of home textile products is also common. From the results of the quality inspections of the provincial industrial and commercial bureaus in the past six months: In December 2016, the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Industry and Commerce concentrated on law enforcement forces to conduct market inspections and quality inspections on 90 batches of home textile products of 46 brands. After testing, 24 batches were unqualified, and the unqualified detection rate was 26.7%. The unqualified items are mainly decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes, water washing dimensional change rate, pH value, color fastness and fiber content.
On February 22, 2017, the Liaoning Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce released the results of the quality inspection of bedding products in 2016, and notified 53 batches of unqualified products. The main unqualified items included poor color fastness and poor breaking strength. The shrinkage size is not up to standard, and the fiber content and instructions for use are not acceptable.
On March 15, 2017, the official website of the Anhui Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce issued a notice stating that the bureau conducted a provincial quality spot check on the textile products in the province according to law. This random inspection examined a total of 35 sets of bedding, of which 16 were qualified and 19 were unqualified, and the unqualified rate was as high as 54.3%.
Consumer Tips: “Upstream enterprises†are actually the source of most quality problems. Most of the current home textile enterprises do not have printing and dyeing factories, and they rely on upstream raw materials. Therefore, if there is a problem before the raw materials enter the production line, the possibility of problems will be high in the later stage. . Some enterprises are indifferent to the material of raw materials because raw materials are not produced by themselves. Most of the unqualified enterprises are lack of experience in raw material management and quality control, and little is known about national standards.
Wooden furniture: surface physical and chemical properties, mechanical properties, formaldehyde emission are common unqualified items
First of all, the household products that were ranked first in the inspection were wooden furniture. In March 2017, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision announced the results of quality supervision and inspection of 13 kinds of daily consumer goods such as furniture. The results show that a number of furniture brand products are unqualified, and the unqualified items mainly involve surface physical and chemical properties, mechanical properties, and formaldehyde emission. Half a year ago, the official website of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision released the announcement of the results of the nationwide quality supervision and joint inspection of 8 kinds of products, including children and infant clothing in the production area of ​​the city (No. 32, 2016). According to the announcement, this random inspection involved 196 batches of products produced by 196 companies, of which 8 batches were unqualified, wooden furniture products became “hardest hitâ€, and 5 batches of unqualified products.
Consumer Tip: Wooden furniture products with unsatisfactory surface physical and chemical properties are prone to problems such as broken film, surface depression, poor high temperature resistance, etc., affecting aesthetics and service life; products with unsatisfactory mechanical properties (stability) are easy to tip over, resulting in users Injury; the durability of the brown fiber elastic mattress will affect the comfort of the product; the excessive formaldehyde emission of the furniture will bring respiratory diseases or other health hazards to the user.
Children's furniture: frequent local structural safety issues
"Children's Day" is approaching, and it is believed that the children's furniture market will also become the focus of attention. Children's furniture is also a "regular guest" in the black list of the industrial and commercial and quality inspection departments. Taking the two sampling inspections last year as an example, on January 22, 2016, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine announced the results of the national supervision and spot check on the quality of children's furniture products. 13 products did not meet the standard requirements, of which 9 children's furniture was listed because the warning signs were not up to standard, accounting for nearly 70%. On September 14, 2016, the official website of the Beijing Municipal Administration of Industry and Commerce released the results of the quality sampling inspection. In the 2016 quality inspection work of the circulation field, the Beijing Municipal Administration of Industry and Commerce conducted a random inspection of children's furniture products sold in the Beijing market. The sampling results showed that there were problems with the five commodities.
Consumer Tips: "General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture" has been released for many years, but from the sampling inspection of furniture products across the country, children's furniture is still the hardest hit, and there are frequent problems in local structural safety. On the one hand, individual corporate social responsibility is not strong. Reluctant to make concessions between corporate interests and social responsibilities, many companies already have their own mature production lines and technologies in furniture production. If the product is redeveloped according to the new national standard and the original design of the product is corrected, considerable cost will be required. This also causes many companies to rectify the rectification. Therefore, in the sampling inspection, some brands deliberately avoid the problem of local structural safety; on the other hand, there are still Enterprises do not fully understand the national standard, resulting in non-compliant products still appearing in the market.
