Recently, Beijing Consumers Association conducted a commodity comparison test on some ceramic tile sealing faucets currently on the market. The results showed that 34% of the ceramic sheet sealing faucet products in the test were not up to standard, and the inspection results again questioned the quality of plumbing hardware products.
According to tests, 50 samples were free from lead-free elements in two faucets when they were filled for 10 to 24 hours. Experts pointed out that the faucet whose material is not up to standard is very likely to cause the lead element of the "overnight water" that stays in it to exceed the standard. If the volume of the human body exceeds a certain level, it will lead to lead poisoning.
The comparative test samples are ceramic-sealed kitchen faucets, involving 50 samples produced by 50 companies in 8 provinces and cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Hebei. By entrusting the National Building Materials Industry Building Hardware Plumbing Product Quality Supervision, Inspection and Testing Center to test the faucet's logo packaging, salt spray test, flow rate, sealing performance, water efficiency, lead precipitation concentration, etc., there are 17 faucet samples in 50 samples. The project failed to meet the standard requirements, accounting for 34%.
It is reported that the reason why the overnight water of the non-standard faucet is easy to lead exceeds the standard is that most of the ceramic chip faucets are mostly cast with copper alloy due to process limitations, and the lead element in the copper alloy is very fast when it comes into contact with air. Oxidation produces a protective film, but water can cause the protective film of lead to fall off, causing the precipitation of lead in the faucet.
China's plumbing and bathroom hardware industry has grown from scratch and has continued to flourish for decades. At present, China has become the world's largest producer and consumer of plumbing and sanitary hardware, and there are also domestic well-known plumbing hardware brands in the international market. As the market competition intensifies, the property market is in a downturn, and the market demand is declining. Plumbing and bathroom hardware companies also need to upgrade themselves, change their development direction, focus on improving product quality, improve product functions, and constantly explore and meet the various needs of target consumers. Brand awareness and reputation.
As consumers' demands for quality of life improve and their emphasis on health deepens, plumbing hardware products should also improve the process in time to meet consumer demand as much as possible.
For all kinds of faucets with various patterns and different functions on the market, some insiders suggest that consumers should look at the material and view the valve core at the same time when purchasing. The valve core is the key to the faucet. The better quality products are all made of ceramic valve core. It has the characteristics of strong wear resistance and good sealing performance; low-grade products mostly use copper, rubber and Other seals, and have a short service life, but the price is low. At the same time, consumers should also carefully check the quality of the faucet plating when buying. The good plating is as bright as the mirror, and the surface is pressed on the surface by hand. The traces disappear quickly. The feel of the faucet switch should also be tested to select the hand to feel relaxed and smooth. You can also rub the quality of the faucet by hand, and the good faucets are generally very heavy.
