Entering the number nine cold days, the winter "artifact" has appeared, burning charcoal for heating, cooking tea around the hearth, blowing air conditioning in the car, doors and windows can be closed, resulting in poor air circulation, carbon monoxide poisoning, gas fires and other accidents are prone to occur, if you add the use of fake and shoddy gas cookers, the safety risk is even greater. Today, the reporter learned from the Chengdu Municipal Market Supervision Bureau that the city's market supervision system has successively carried out special rectification actions for the quality and safety of gas appliances and accessories to improve the safety level and curb the occurrence of hidden risks.
Investigation of potential safety hazards
Fake and shoddy gas cookers have been investigated and dealt with
"Recently, the Chengdu Municipal Public Security Bureau seized a batch of fake and shoddy gas cookers, and the special case team sampled and commissioned the identification to verify that the gas cookers produced and sold by the criminal gang have product quality and heat load, unqualified gas hoses and ignition valves, and failure to install flame-out protection devices in accordance with the mandatory requirements of the state, and there is a risk of flash explosion in the process of use. According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, the Chengdu Municipal Public Security Bureau has provided the bureau with relevant information on the above case, involving counterfeit and shoddy gas cookers of brands such as "Mrs. Winnie", "Mrs. Zhongxing" and "Mrs. Ran".
"Combined with the special rectification action of urban gas, we once again carried out the investigation of potential safety hazards for the fake and shoddy gas cooker products involved in the clues handed over by the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Law enforcement officers told reporters that during the inspection, focusing on key products such as gas cookers, gas connection hoses, liquefied petroleum gas regulators, and combustible gas detectors, the focus was on checking whether the operators strictly implemented the system of requesting certificates and tickets, purchasing and selling goods, and whether the gas stove had no flame-out protection device, and whether the gas hose met national safety standards.
Up to now, a total of 235 supermarkets, hardware stores and other sales units have been inspected, and 3 fake and shoddy gas cookers, 7 rolls of fake and shoddy gas rubber hoses, and 1 batch of fake and shoddy gas emergency shut-off valves have been investigated and dealt with. The Municipal Market Supervision Bureau reminds consumers: Do not buy the above-mentioned brands involved in the case, such as "Mrs. Pooh", "Mrs. Zhongxing", "Mrs. Ran" and other fake and shoddy gas cookers.
Use gas cylinders sparingly
Deeply understand the importance of gas safety
The hot steam on the breakfast stall woke up the city that had slept all night, and the law enforcement officers of the Chenghua District Market Supervision Bureau are focusing on whether the bottled liquefied petroleum gas has electronic labels and whether there is "problem gas" throughout the district.
"When you use this kind of gas canister, you should pay attention to turn on the gas canister before igniting, and turn off the gas canister before turning off the fire, and then turn off the gas stove when the fire is extinguished. The gas tank must be placed in a ventilated place to avoid personal injury caused by gas leakage, and even life-threatening in serious cases. "At the same time of inspection, law enforcement officers carefully warned merchants to use gas cylinders with caution and deeply realized the importance of gas safety.
"While ensuring the quality of products, we must also do a good job in handling consumer complaints. In addition, law enforcement officers also publicize and popularize the quality and safety knowledge of gas appliances and accessories to operators, enhance risk prevention awareness, and urge operators to implement the main responsibility of product quality and safety, conscientiously implement the purchase inspection system, improve the purchase account, ensure that the sales of products meet the relevant certification requirements, and control the quality of products.
The reporter learned that since the beginning of this year, Chenghua District has carried out 3 rounds of full-coverage inspections on 148 gas appliances and accessories business units in the district, and filed and investigated 3 cases.
》》》How to choose a gas cooker correctly?
*Purchase gas appliances with complete product information and CCC certification mark produced by regular manufacturers and sold through regular channels.
*Purchase gas appliances with flame-out protection. Gas appliances with flame-out protection function can automatically cut off the gas source after the flame is accidentally extinguished, effectively preventing gas leakage and protecting the safety of life and property.
*Purchase gas appliances with clear implementation standards: Household Gas Cooker Standard - GB16410-2020, Household Gas Rapid Water Heater Standard - GB6932-2015, Household Gas Heating Water Heater Standard - GB25034-2020, LPG Pressure Regulator Standard - GB35844-2018, Commercial Gas Cooker Standard - GB35848-2018.
*To purchase gas appliances that meet the requirements of air tightness, the connector of household gas appliances should be a gourd head structure with a curvature, as shown in the following figure:
The connector of commercial gas appliances should be a threaded structure, as shown in the following figure:
*Do not purchase or install accessories that are not matched or approved by the manufacturer of non-gas stoves.
*We do not purchase in-line water heaters without smoke exhaust ducts. The in-line water heater discharges the exhaust gas directly into the air, which is easy to cause the accumulation of harmful gases and the lack of oxygen when the room is closed, resulting in poisoning.
*Purchase qualified bottled LPG regulators. According to the requirements of the national mandatory standards, the output pressure of the liquefied petroleum gas regulator cannot be adjusted, the pressure regulator of commercial gas cooker must be connected with a threaded interface and must be connected by bellows, the household gas appliances can be connected by rubber composite hose or bellows, and the outlet of the regulator must have an emergency shut-off device when the household gas appliances use rubber composite hoses.
*Purchase qualified rubber composite hoses. The rubber composite hose can only be used for household use, the length cannot exceed 2 meters, there can be no other branch interfaces, the storage time is not more than 1 year, and the service life is not more than 3 years. At least the product name, specification, manufacturer's name or abbreviation, product standard, manufacturing time, and expiration date should be marked on the hose every 300mm or individual hose.
*Purchase a qualified combustible gas detector. When buying a combustible gas detector, pay attention to the type of gas detected by the product, and avoid buying a detector that can actually detect only one gas, but advertises that it can detect multiple gases.
