Gas stoves are furniture used in every household, but are your gas stoves really safe? On December 4, random inspection results announced by the Inner Mongolia Industry and Commerce Bureau showed that 13 types of household gas stoves on the market in the autonomous region were unqualified, and brands such as Sacon, Xianke Rongfei, Xinfei, and Sakura were on the quality blacklist. Now let’s take a look at which gas stoves are on the blacklist of quality inspections.

In order to maintain the order of the market economy, protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and strengthen the quality supervision of commodities in the circulation field, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Industry and Commerce Bureau conducted spot checks on household gas stove products in the circulation field. The random inspection results showed that 13 types of household gas stove products had quality problems, mainly due to items such as heat load deviation not meeting relevant standards.

For the unqualified gas stove products found during random inspections, the industrial and commercial administration department has ordered them to stop selling and imposed penalties in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. All manufacturers and relevant distributors of publicly announced unqualified goods should proactively take measures such as recalls, removals from shelves, and delisting in accordance with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations. If relevant measures are not taken, the industrial and commercial authorities will take measures in accordance with the "Consumer Rights Protection Law" and other laws. regulations shall be investigated and dealt with.

List of products claimed to be counterfeit

Zhongshan Zuochi Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. and Zhongshan Chengtai Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. claim to be counterfeited. The product information and distribution unit information of the counterfeit gas stoves are now provided. It is publicly announced and consumers are asked to pay attention when purchasing.

The main problems of unqualified products are that the heat load deviation, the carbon monoxide concentration in the dry flue gas, the gas pipe, the structure of the flameout protection device, etc. do not meet the standard requirements.

Analysis of unqualified items:

Thermal load represents an important indicator of the amount of heat released by gas appliances. According to the GB16410-2007 "Household Gas Stoves" standard, the main fire heat load of a gas stove is a minimum of 3.5kw and a maximum of 5.23kw. The unqualified heat load deviation of the gas stove is generally caused by the size deviation of the gas nozzle or the heat load failing to meet the minimum requirement (3.5kW). Unqualified heat load deviation will make the firepower of the gas stove difficult to control and unable to meet the user's needs for rapid heating.

The main reason for its failure is that some companies did not strictly control the incoming raw materials and products leaving the factory.

The concentration of carbon monoxide in dry flue gas is an important indicator to determine the quality of product combustion conditions. The standard stipulates that the concentration of carbon monoxide in the flue gas during combustion should be less than or equal to 0.05. Excessive carbon monoxide inhaled by the human body will cause harm to the body and may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning or even death.

There are three reasons for the unqualified carbon monoxide concentration in the flue gas: First, the production unit’s unreasonable design matching of product structure, combustion parts, and accessories results in insufficient combustion; second, some manufacturers directly purchase accessories. There are no corresponding experiments and testing methods during assembly; third, due to differences in gas sources in various places, no gas source suitability test was performed after arriving at the sales place, resulting in excessive carbon monoxide.

The stove flameout protection device is a device that can automatically close the gas valve and cut off the gas source when the gas is accidentally flamed out, which can prevent gas leakage. A normally burning stove fire at home may be extinguished by spilled soup or blown out by the wind. If there is no flameout protection device on the stove, it is very likely to cause an explosion due to air leakage.

The main reason why the gas pipe of the gas stove does not meet the standard is that it is not equipped with safety fasteners for hose connection, which is a material reduction. Unqualified gas pipes can easily cause gas leaks, leading to safety accidents such as fires or carbon monoxide poisoning.

For the unqualified gas stove products found during random inspections, the industrial and commercial administration department has ordered them to stop selling and imposed penalties in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. All manufacturers and relevant dealers of publicly announced unqualified goods should proactively take measures such as recalls, removals from shelves, and delisting in accordance with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations. If relevant measures are not taken, the industrial and commercial authorities will take measures in accordance with the "Consumer Rights Protection Law" and other laws. regulations shall be investigated and dealt with.

The above is the detailed answer about substandard gas stoves. I wonder if everyone is satisfied with our introduction.
