Solar water heater industry, the state will introduce a mandatory standard constraints chaos
In recent years, and by the policy of home appliances in rural market demand – driven blowout, market has become widely accepted. The entry of many enterprises, but also to bring chaos to the solar water heater industry. Experts suggest that companies should pay attention to China\\ s solar water heater to enhance the quality, while improving industry standards, and strengthen the industry regulator, to regulate the development of solar water heater industry, embarked on the road.
Breeding industry chaos
Recently, CCTV \"Weekly Quality Report\" revealed the town of Haining City, Huang Wanzhen some of the family-owned factory to confuse the use of the Ming emperor, the name of the sun the rain, the production and sale of Hong Kong Wong of the Hong Kong sun rain solar water heater products and these products are a serious quality problems. This is not only for solar water heater industry had a negative impact, real to the enemy\\ s brand also to some extent dampened consumers to buy solar water heater products, enthusiasm and confidence.
This also caused the Emperor Ming, Sun Yu, Li Norit, Qinghua Sun, Beijing Temple, Beijing Solar Energy Research Institute, Beijing Mu-song Seasons of and other famous enterprises of great concern. February 24, 2010, the solar industry experts, relevant well-known business executives and consumer representatives was held in Beijing, \"the quality of analysis of solar water heaters special press conference\", resolution quality counterfeit water heater, for consumers to buy products with professional ease to help.
\"There is more confusion in the industry, low barriers to entry exist, one in the list of home appliances, there inside the 200.\" Tsinghua Solar Energy deputy chief engineer Xu-Guang Li said, \"many companies blindly pursue low-cost, endangering the survival of the industry.\" . Pete production base in Beijing Solar Energy Research Institute Vice President Lian Kui said, \"industry is mixed, urgent need for industry self-regulation and third-party supervision and regulation can not do without third-party certification and media public opinion.\"
According to the China Renewable Energy Society, Vice Chairman Zhu Junsheng said, China\\ s solar water heater to maintain the current about 154 million square meters, the production capacity of 45 million square meters. At present, the field of solar water heater\\ s top 30 companies only 30% of market share, market fragmentation.
\"Golden Sun\" certification to help the industry to \"false\"
\"Golden Sun\" certification from the National Development and Reform Commission, the United Nations Development Programme, Global Environment Fund, \"the establishment of China\\ s solar water heater certification system\" project supported by the National Certification and Accreditation Administration Committee approved, by Kam Certification Center established and implemented.
CCTV reported that the Hong Kong revealed by the Ming emperor, Hong Kong and Wong Ming Sun Rain, sun, rain there is no relationship. The experts said that Emperor Ming, Sun Rain water heater is China\\ s \"Golden Sun\" certified products, and Emperor Ming of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, solar water heaters and rain, \"Golden Sun\" certification unrelated. It should be noted that these counterfeit products, serious quality problems, it is China\\ s \"Golden Sun\" certification requirements or the process is strictly controlled in the certification can be identified and found. For example, the foam by hand the way, can not meet the water tank insulation thickness requirements, resulting in poor water heater insulation. The \"Golden Sun\" certification and implementation rules are explicit requirements for foam equipment manufacturer must have to ensure adequate temperature in the mixing sufficient to ensure that the water tank insulation layer insulation effect. Again, the water tank metal thickness is not enough, but too simple processing likely to cause leakage, resulting in reduced service life of water heaters. The \"Golden Sun\" certification requirements of the water tank is stainless steel clearly be greater than 0.4 mm thickness, in order to ensure the quality requirements of the tank. In addition, the \"Golden Sun\" certification, but also covers the use of solar water heaters, a key component of the technical requirements and testing requirements, the use of large vacuum tubes, stents, small rubber sealing ring, have conducted a rigorous Quality control. So, yes, solar water heater \"Golden Sun\" certification is the most rigorous and comprehensive certification.
Participating company official said, some manufacturers play the so-called \"edge ball\", the purpose is to mislead the consumer.
Consumers in the purchase of solar water heaters in addition to really look for the brand, there are no additional facilities to see \"Golden Sun\" certification mark is an important factor. Because, well-known domestic solar water heater market through the \"Golden Sun\" certification. As long as consumers look for the \"Golden Sun\" certification mark, you can rest assured that the water heater needed to buy the product.
According to data provided by relevant departments, domestic OEM water heater solar water heater market, accounting for more than 20%. The insiders said that this figure may be quite conservative. This so-called OEM products for the solar water heater market, the negative impact can not be underestimated.
Some experts in the evaluation of the \"Golden Sun\" certification for the consumer\\ s value-oriented role, said, \"Golden Sun\" certification is a solar water heater industry, \"quality certification\", China\\ s more than 4,000 , only 30 The solar water heater company adopted the \"Golden Sun\" certification. Therefore, consumers can purchase access to the \"Golden Sun\" certification mark of the water heater products, their interests are fully able to be guaranteed.
The state will introduce a mandatory standard
It is understood that China\\ s solar water heaters for the production and did not implement \"production license system,\" most of the solar water heaters generally do not use electricity, do not need China Compulsory Certification. Although the state has introduced a solar water heater national standards related to product quality, but all the sale of solar water heaters do not need a separate test, as long as the enterprises in accordance with national standards to produce, own commitment to protect the quality of products can be marketed.
Most industry insiders believe that the current barriers to entry in the solar water heater industry, the lack of strict quality control aspect, which represents high-level industry certification has not been management attention, leading to chaos in the solar water heater industry.
For \"China solar water heater industry with low barriers to entry\" point of view, Zhu Junsheng said: \"China has 23 national standards for solar water heater, the problem is not that there is no standard, nor is the standard level is too low, but for the market supervision. \"
In view of the \"Golden Sun\" certified non-mandatory certification, delivered entirely by the voluntary inspection and certification company, and the current implementation of national standards for solar water heater has a guide only, and not binding on the role of business, the introduction of mandatory national standards have become quite urgent. Zhu Junsheng told reporters: \"mandatory energy efficiency standards has been completed, have been reported to the National Standardization Management Committee, but also in consultation with the international standards committee, so also delayed for some time.\" According to him, with the energy efficiency standards mandatory, and more detailed.
Beijing Jianheng Certification Center, said Feng Xingfu, Chief Engineer: \"To further enhance the industry standard, from a technical and market perspective regulate the industry.\"
