According to relevant sources, the sanitary professional committee of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce has revised the relevant national standards. The revision team submitted the revised draft to the AQSIQ on the 20th of last month and is expected to be adopted and implemented early next year. One of the biggest changes in this new standard is the increase in the mandatory standards for limiting the amount of heavy metals such as lead.

News Replay triggered a hot test July 14th, the “One-seventh” column of the news channel of Shanghai TV News Comprehensive Channel reported that they had commissioned Shanghai Xinhua** and East China University of Technology to be the most commonly used of 13 kinds of Shanghai families on the market. The faucet carried a 32-hour soaking water lead test. The results showed that among the 9 lead soaking waters, the lead content exceeded the national standard of 5 μg/l, and the constant cleanliness, deuterium, and Moyn exceedances were 2 to 6 times. The nine animal husbandry and GROHE exceeded 18 times, the most serious The amount of Le lead from the Lejia Master reaches 173 micrograms per litre, which is 34 times the national standard.

When the news came out, the industry and consumers were stunned. The brand enterprises of China Merchants Co., Ltd. also issued official statements, claiming that their own leader absolutely complied with relevant standards and questioned the scientific nature of the test.

For a time, the debate over the lead in the faucet was excessive. At the beginning of last month, Chengdu Shangbao Home Furnishing Studio also invited third-party testing agencies and invited new taps purchased by newly installed owners to the society to test if lead faucet precipitation was excessive. The products involved German and domestic brands. In the end, third-party testing agency personnel said that the test results were not satisfactory. As a result, at the beginning of this month, more than ten authoritative media reporters from Chengdu Commercial Daily and the National Chamber of Commerce and Industry Furniture Decoration Industry Chamber of Commerce Special Committee, CCTV, Hunan Red Net, and the National Home Furnishing Media Alliance went deep into China’s leading plumbing companies’ origins. Field visits.

Into the enterprise without mandatory national standard, temporarily rely on corporate self-discipline Fujian Xiamen - Nanan Luda, Shenlu, Zhongyu, nine animal husbandry, brilliant, including the five major plumbing brands, but also the most affected by lead exposure events in the most direct areas. It is understood that the brass faucet has been used for centuries. Because copper has a natural bacteriostatic effect, more than 90% of the world's taps are made of copper, and over 35% of them are produced in China. However, due to process cutting and other reasons, the production of faucet copper can not be 100% pure copper, which contains lead. In order to eliminate the excessive amount of lead in the system and cause harm to the human body, two methods of washing lead or low-lead copper are adopted in the general process. No matter what kind of method, as long as the strict implementation of the production process, the production of the nozzle can meet the standard. Wu Meiling, Marketing Director of Luda (Xiamen) Industrial Co., Ltd. said.

The reporter found that the national standard "ceramic seal faucet" did not explicitly require the amount of heavy metal precipitation, and the industry standard "water nozzle lead precipitation limit" and the national standard "safety assessment of drinking water transmission and distribution equipment and protective materials for drinking water ” It is only the recommended standard for lead concentration in water soaking water. In other words, there is no mandatory standard for the lead precipitation content of faucets.

There is no mandatory national standard. In the eyes of first-line brands, it does not represent disorder and insecurity. In particular, large export enterprises have long adopted the most stringent North American standards in the world to produce taps. The brilliant plumbing technical general manager Jun Jun told reporters that different countries have different methods and standards for the detection of lead precipitation. The quality of the extracted water used for testing, the pretreatment before the experiment, and the fineness of the experimental equipment may also affect the test results. . Only relying on non-authoritative testing once to conclude that the product is not qualified is too embarrassing. This is the most common sentence spoken by the person in charge of the interviewed company.

Mandatory national standard will be implemented to accelerate the industry reshuffle The National Federation of Industry and Commerce Federation of Furniture Decoration Chamber of Commerce Secretary-General Xie Xin said that the plumbing hardware market in China does have a variety of phenomena, but it occupies the market's leading brand, its quality and quality Trustworthy, I urge social rationalists to watch this incident.

Crises and opportunities jointly promote the development of the industry. In the wake of this lead over standard event, it has become the most authoritative and reliable innovation to accelerate the implementation of the national compulsory standards for water faucets. It has been revealed that the sanitary professional committee of the Chamber of Commerce of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce has revised the relevant national standards. One of the biggest changes in the new standard is the increase in the mandatory standards for limiting the amount of heavy metals such as lead. The revision team submitted the revised draft to the AQSIQ on the 20th of last month and is expected to be adopted and implemented early next year.

There is no doubt that once the mandatory national standard is introduced next year, the reshuffle of the survival of the fittest in the Shuizui market will also kick off, and the market access threshold and cost will increase at the same time. Enterprises unable to achieve compliance will only be able to withdraw from the stage.
