How to buy qualified fire extinguishers, fire emergency lights and other fire equipment?

March 15 is World Consumer Rights Day, Mianyang City Police Fire Brigade in Xianqu Fule focused on the destruction of the plaza at more than 200 fake fire products.

Mianyang City Public Security Fire Fighting Brigade officers and men introduced that these fake and inferior fire-fighting products were seized in daily supervision and inspection. Among them, most of the products were caused by "inconsistency between the test report and the actual product." “For example, these fire emergency lighting and safety exit signs were inspected by us. Actual products are inconsistent with test reports issued by manufacturers. It is precisely this type of fake and shoddy products that, in the event of a fire, its light will be weak. It may lead to trapped persons unable to identify the right escape route in the smoke and cause more serious consequences,” said the person in charge of the Mianyang City Fire Brigade.

Subsequently, on-site firefighters used cutting machines, axes, and other tools to uniformly destroy the fake and inferior fire-fighting products on site.

According to reports, there are very few counterfeit and shoddy products on the market. However, in order to save costs, some businesses will cut corners and materials for fire-fighting products. Once these products are investigated, not only the industrial and commercial administration, but also the quality supervision department will sell them. The party and the manufacturer impose penalties, and the fire department also imposes certain penalties on users.

So, in the end how to identify common firefighting products are true and false ? Mianyang firefighting introduces the following points:

Buy a fire extinguisher first check its "identity card"

When purchasing a fire extinguisher, it is necessary to check whether the manufacturer of the fire extinguisher has the qualification for producing fire-fighting products .

Secondly, to check whether the fire extinguisher has its own "ID card" information, you can log on to the website of the China Fire Protection Product Information Network or the Fire Protection Products Assessment Center of the Ministry of Public Security, and enter the 14 -digit clear code on the 'ID Card' to check the true and false information ;

The third is to check whether the fire hose of the fire extinguisher is qualified and whether the pressure gauge indication is in the green foot pressure area.

Buying emergency lights, safety exit signs to see its "birth certificate"

Qualified fire emergency lights and evacuation indicator lights are made of materials that are not easily combustible and can be automatically activated once the fire is interrupted. When purchasing this type of product, pay attention to the product's type approval certificate and inspection report. In addition, qualified products on the lamp body must have the firefighting product identity card identification, charge signal light, experimental switch button, certificate, date of manufacture, manufacturer's name, and related technical parameters. The battery used in the lamp should be clearly marked with the model, voltage, capacity, etc., and should be consistent with the inspection report of the product.

Identifying counterfeit and inferior fire-fighting products

Proposal 1: Detailed product appearance identification

Regular fire-fighting products should have clear and durable signs on the surface and packaging, including product marks and quality inspection marks. The product mark shall include the manufacturer's name, address, name and model, technical coefficient, trade mark number, production date and standard code.

The appearance signs of counterfeit and inferior fire-fighting products are often vague and rough, with incomplete content and not endurable. For example, the trademarks of counterfeit fire hydrants on the valve body are unclear, there are no specifications and signs on the interface, and the fire hose is not marked with the word “firefighting”. Consumers can observe the problem and find it. At the same time, the use of Yi Jing Fire Bao for the daily management and maintenance of fire equipment, will be more honored to find the problem.

Proposal 2: Online Filing and Filing

Consumers can log on to the “China Fire Protection Products Conformity Assessment Center” website () to 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.

Recommendation 3: On-site experiment to distinguish between authentic and false

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.
