Many users said that the gas cooker at home can continue to be used, and there is no need to change to a new one. This is also the reason why most over-aged gas cooker users do not change to a new one. Most users wait until the gas cooker fails, repair and repair, and then replace the machine when there is really no maintenance value. This is the habit and thinking of most users. However, household gas stoves have a safe service life, and they need to be replaced with new ones when they are overaged.
According to Article 7 of the mandatory standard GB17905-2008 of the Rules for the Safety Management of Household Gas Burning Appliances jointly issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Standardization Administration of the People's Republic of China, the scrapping of household gas appliances: from the date of sale, the scrapping period of gas cookers shall be 8 years; If the scrap period of the gas appliance is expressly indicated, it shall be subject to the express indication of the enterprise's products, but it shall not be lower than the above specified years. Due to factors such as wear and aging of parts, gas appliances that are overdue, will not only affect their normal operation, but also lead to problems such as gas leakage, incomplete combustion or excessive carbon monoxide in exhaust gas. Therefore, once a gas appliance is sold, it must be scrapped as long as it reaches the scrapping period specified in the mandatory standard.
Previously, point 6 of the "Gas Cooker Risk Warning" issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation clearly stated that the national mandatory standard stipulates that from the date of sale, the scrapping period of household gas cookers should be 8 years, and gas cookers that exceed the service life should be replaced in time. ）
So, what are the safety hazards of using a household gas cooker if you are overage?
1. Overdue gas stoves are prone to gas leakage, and open flames will cause fires when used.
2. Due to the aging of parts and components, the failure of adjusting equipment such as dampers and other adjusting equipment of the overdue gas stove, there will be abnormal combustion phenomena such as yellow flame, separation flame, and tempering, which may cause the stove to burst in serious cases.
3. The combustion efficiency of the overdue gas stove decreases, which will cause gas loss and increase gas use, and will produce harmful gases such as carbon monoxide due to insufficient gas combustion.
Fourth, the automatic flame-out protection device of the overdue gas stove will fail due to aging, and the gas source will not be cut off in time when the furnace fire is extinguished due to soup extinguishing and other reasons, resulting in a large amount of indoor gas leakage, and the consequences are difficult to predict.
In order to prevent gas accidents, and for the health and safety of yourself and your family, please replace the overdue gas stove at home in time.
Tips: Stoves in the life cycle also need to be cleaned and maintained regularly to prevent gas cookers from being "retired" in advance.
Looking back on the safety accidents caused by the use of gas appliances over age in the past, including safety accidents such as "deflagration, explosion, spontaneous combustion, fire, and gas leakage" due to the continued use of gas appliances over age, it is enough to prove that there is a high proportion of safety risks in gas appliances used over age. Therefore, if you find that the gas stove at home is overaged, you must replace it with a new one in time.
