The new national standard to promote the development of hardware industry

Since July last year, the tap lead exceed the standard is like a heavy bomb, explode the sensitive nerve of the public, but also led to tap consumers questioned first-line production. To comprehensively understand the production status China and major global brand copper, stainless steel material of the tap, National Federation of industry and Commerce Committee bathroom United National Building Materials Testing Center, the guest China Home Furnishing mainstream media matrix in the early September carried out Chinese Plumbing Hardware industry field visit activity.

According to the research and development experts Lu Da, Jomoo, JOYOU, Shen Luda, brilliant plumbing brand enterprise introduction, copper and lead is concomitant, nature does not exist 100% purity copper. In the production process of brass for the tap, need to add a small amount of lead, in order to improve cutting performance of brass. If the faucet production completely not to join the lead, not only will be cutting, forging properties difficult issues such as the poor, finished products, will crack due to stress corrosion resistance performance is poor. National Federation of industry and Commerce sanitary committee secretary general Xie Xin said, the current copper faucet used in the normal circumstances, almost no damage to human body, lead elements of the body absorbs every day from different channels have a safe value, the tap water flow in the process of precipitation, lead almost not detected, the tap lead poisoning panic is not a tenable fallacy.

Shenluda group general manager Hong Guangming said, the developed countries in Europe and America mainstream taps are brass as the main raw materials, the main reason is the antibacterial activity of copper, which is the other material, such as stainless steel, plastic, do not have the advantage. Road to the group deputy general manager Zhu Jianhong think, Chinese has manufacturing base low lead copper production in the world's largest, in the research and manufacture of low lead and copper are at the forefront of the world. Jomoo kitchen chairman Lin Xiaofa said, found the group of laboratory detection, stainless steel water does not contain lead, but containing nickel, chromium, manganese and other elements, the precipitation of these heavy metals in excess will cause serious harm to human body. JOYOU sanitary CEO Cai Jilin said, completely lead-free copper faucet does not exist, lead-free concept on the market actually refers to low lead, copper composition, process technology and electroplating processing requirements are high, the strength of the enterprise have the conditions for production.

National building materials industry hardware plumbing products quality supervision and testing center in early 2014 launched a new version of the GB 18145 (instead of 2003) ceramic seal faucets, 17 kinds of heavy metal precipitation made a mandatory requirement, use the equivalent of North American NSF61 standard, the market has strict control significance. Brilliant plumbing deputy general manager Cai Shizhan said, China sanitary industry all the strength of enterprises are involved in the research of this standard and the development of large and medium-sized enterprises, only 30-35% can adapt to the new standard, part of small and medium-sized enterprises did not have the strength or face elimination, the new national standard for the industry will play a strong role in promoting.
