How to distinguish between true and false fire equipment?

The use of fake and inferior fire-fighting products will not only result in the normal use of fire-fighting facilities and equipment, but also cause congenital fire hazards.

01 counterfeit counterfeit glass four tricks

False positive

Some unscrupulous manufacturers simply do not have the ability to monitor or guarantee the production of fire-resistant glass products, and they try to purchase a few pieces of antimony fire-resistant glass from other homes as samples, send them to the fireproof material inspection center for type inspection, and defraud inspection reports. Get market access qualifications. In fact, in the actual production of raw materials, processes, equipment, testing methods and other standards to reduce even completely inconsistent, cut corners, false pretend to be true, and then sell their counterfeit and fake products.

Certified falsification

Some fire-resistant glass manufacturers have a certain production capacity, but also hold two or three inspection certificates. However, in general terms, all of their own specifications of fire-resistant glass products have been qualified, and they are sold in large quantities on the market in a grand manner. Other kinds of counterfeit products, this is a common " certificate fraud . " In fact, an inspection report only proves that one type of flame-retardant glass of one thickness is qualified for one type of inspection and cannot replace all specifications of fire-resistant glass products, and “is only responsible for the sample”. This method of falsification is relatively cryptic, and it also fools users who do not understand standards and norms.

Infringement counterfeiting

Some manufacturers of fire-resistant glass infringe other people's technology patents or registered trademark exclusive rights, impersonate other people's trademark names, packaging, decoration, counterfeiting or fraudulent use of certification marks, counterfeit manufacturing sites and the publication of false advertising and other unfair competition acts, mixing the market. For example: monolithic antimony potassium fireproof glass is a patented product of Guangdong Golden Glass Technology Co., Ltd., which is listed as a national key torch plan project, a national key new product, and the 2002 Ministry of Construction’s scientific and technological achievements promotion project, but some manufacturers have counterfeited “ Monolithic antimony potassium fireproof glass products are sold on the market.

Fake falsification

There are endless ways to fake fireproof glass, and another trick is foiling. Some unscrupulous manufacturers in the society disregard the complicated manufacturing process of single-piece fireproof glass and the objective fact that they are expensive, blindly cutting down on materials and chasing interests, even if they paste a layer of organic film on ordinary glass, they falsely claim to be fireproof glass and defraud inspection reports. In fact, they are using a trick to buy enamel potassium-fired glass products from other homes, affixing their own organic thin glue, sending them for testing and defrauding certificates.

Fire-resistant glass is a public safety product that has been incorporated into the country's mandatory management. The quality of fire-resistant glass is closely related to economic construction and the safety of people's lives and property. Once counterfeit fire-resistant glass is put into use, it will pose long-term harm to the social security environment. Therefore, it is a major event that the whole society should pay attention to exposing the tricks of counterfeiting of fire prevention glass, cracking down on fraudulent unscrupulous manufacturers, and rectifying the market of fire protection products.

Fire product appearance recognition

Formal fire-fighting products should have clear and durable signs on the surface and packaging, including product marks and quality inspection marks (certificate of conformity). The product mark shall include the manufacturer's name, product name, product model (specification), major technical factors, product brand, production date and product number. Quality inspection marks should include inspectors and qualified marks.

The appearance of fake and shoddy products is often vague, rough, incomplete, and not durable. Such as counterfeit fire hydrant valve body on the trademark casting is not clear; no specifications on the interface model logo; fire hose does not mark the "fire" word, intentional confusion and so on.

In addition, the use of non-combustible materials or non-flammable materials on the surface of fire-fighting product entities using flammable or flammable materials may also be used as a basis for judging them to be counterfeit and inferior products. For example, flammable materials such as plexiglass shall be used on the surface of fire emergency luminaires and fire hydrant boxes as they are required to use nonflammable materials or non-combustible materials.

Related licenses and product quality inspection report identification

Fire products are subject to industrial supervision and management. According to the provisions of the "PRC Product Quality Law," "PRC Fire Protection Law," and the relevant regulations of the State Bureau of Technical Supervision and the Ministry of Public Security, different types of fire protection products shall abide by non-compliance with different regulations. rule. Users should understand the classification of fire product supervision and management, so that when purchasing products, they must obtain the corresponding procedures and licenses for verification.

( 1 ) The fire protection products that are certified by the China Fire Product Quality Certification Committee for product quality certification include fire alarm controllers, point-type temperature sensors, smoke detectors, manual alarm buttons, fire linkage control equipment, sprinklers, and wet alarm valves. There are ten varieties of water flow indicators, firefighting pressure switches, and fire hoses. These products must have a certificate and a certification mark.

( 2 ) Fire-fighting products issued by the Ministry of Public Security for production licenses of industrial products throughout the country include: various kinds of fire extinguishing agents, more than one kilogram of various types of portable fire extinguishers, carts and fire extinguishers, various types of interfaces, fire hydrant, indoor and outdoor fire hydrant, and fire fighting Water pump adapters, fire hydrant connectors, steel wood fire door products, these products must have a production license, the license plate number should be marked on the license plate number.

( 3 ) All types of fire engines approved by the Ministry of Machinery Industry and the Ministry of Public Security for the implementation of car catalog management.

( 4 ) In addition to the fire protection products mentioned above, all other types of fire protection products must be inspected and qualified by the National Fire Protection Products Quality Supervision and Inspection Center before being manufactured and sold. The supplier shall provide an effective quality inspection report when purchasing these products.

When we purchase fire-fighting products, according to the above-mentioned classification management requirements, manufacturers or sellers can not provide the corresponding procedures and product quality inspection reports, it may be fake and shoddy products. If the user has difficulties in identification, he can consult with the local public security fire product industry supervision and management department or product inspection agency.

Through the above three methods, the authenticity of some products can be discriminated, and if necessary, sampling and inspection methods can also be adopted, and they can be identified by the inspection agencies authorized by the relevant state departments.

Online investigation and filing

Consumers can visit the "China Fire Products Conformity Assessment Center" website ( ) Inquiries, check whether the purchased fire protection products belong to the products on the website. All registered products are generally qualified products.

At the same time, the fire-fighting products produced by the regular manufacturers must have “one book and one report”, that is, the “Type Approval Certificate” issued by the National Fire Protection Products Conformity Assessment Center and the “Fire Protection Testing Qualification Report” issued by the National Fire Detection Center. Indispensable.

When consumers purchase fire-fighting products, they must confirm these certificates. At the same time, they can also ask the dealer for a detailed check of the supplier's supply certificate. They must not be taken lightly.

On-site experiment to distinguish between genuine and fake

On-site testing is a real and effective way to ensure the fire protection products. For example, the fire protection coating can be applied to the wall and the high-temperature spray gun can be used for on-site testing. The foaming of the coating surface proves that it can insulate heat.

For fire emergency luminaires, fire hydrant boxes and other products, the surface should be made of non-flammable materials or non-combustible materials as required. These products can also be used to identify the authenticity through on-site experimentation, and if necessary, sampling and inspection methods can be adopted. The inspection authority authorized by the relevant department of the country shall determine.

( 1 ) Attention to Trademarks

To see if the logo is complete, there must be a fire extinguisher name, fire extinguishing object or type, use method ( in words or graphic description ) , use temperature, factory year, shelf life, fire extinguisher manufacturer name, etc. in the logo content. , may not be repeated use, filling the warning words, if there is no warning or labeling content is not all substandard products.

( 2 ) Note the barrel

The surface coating of the fire extinguisher shall be uniform in color and free from defects such as deformation, bumps, and scratches. In addition, the fire extinguisher bottom ring or collar and other parts should have hydraulic test pressure value, the stamp of the year of manufacture, otherwise it is unqualified product.

( 3 ) Attention to stress

Fire extinguisher pressure indicators fail to reach the green area as substandard products. The type of pressure indicator shall be consistent with the type of fire extinguisher. Fire extinguisher with a filling capacity of more than 3 kg shall be equipped with a spray hose ; a fire extinguisher shall be equipped with a safety pin, and the seal (the plastic tape and wire seal ) of the insurance pin shall be intact. Otherwise it is an unqualified product.

( 4 ) Pay attention to "ID card" information

Fire extinguishers usually have two sticker signs, one is a precision dot matrix code for red and black overlays, and the other is a black and white paper certificate. The red and black coated ID cards cannot be removed, and they have special anti-counterfeiting capabilities. Uniqueness, anti-copy, anti-transfer and other functions.

Simple fire extinguishers are widely used in the fire safety of cars, homes and travel. The identification of the authenticity of simple fire extinguishers can be carried out in six ways:

First of all, check whether the logo is comprehensive or not. The name of the fire extinguisher, fire extinguishing object or type, use method (in words or figures), operating temperature, year of manufacture, shelf life, name of fire extinguisher manufacturer, etc. must be included in the content of the logo. The content of the mark is not completely unqualified.

There must be a cautionary statement that the fire extinguisher cannot be reused or refilled once it has been opened. There is no warning statement as a failure.

The surface of the cylinder of the fire extinguisher should have no defects such as deformation, bumps, scratches, etc. Otherwise it is not qualified.

For a simple fire extinguisher equipped with a pressure indicator, the type of pressure indicator should match the type of the fire extinguisher (the “ F ” letter on the dial of the pressure indicator used for the dry powder fire extinguisher; the pressure indicator used by the water and foam fire extinguisher). There is a " P " on the dial of the device ). The type of pressure indicator does not match the type of fire extinguisher and it is unqualified.

The indicator of the pressure indicator on the fire extinguisher should indicate the green area. The diameter of the cylinder of a simple fire extinguisher shall not exceed 75 mm . The simple fire extinguisher without a hand-held handle should be protected by a protective cover at its injection operation site. Otherwise it is not qualified.
