Shanghai sampling inspection air purification and energy efficiency is not qualified: a number of enterprises on the list

With the improvement of people's living standards and the improvement of their quality of life, the two net products - water purifiers and purifiers have become a must-have for many families. In particular, air quality is closely related to the lives of residents. For people in the city, the role of air purifiers is more prominent. However, are all air purifiers effective in purifying the air?

No need to blow, the two net products have been standing on the fresh air outlet, do not blow, these several empty net products are not qualified for purification and energy efficiency.

In late February, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision conducted a test on 39 samples of Shanghai air purifier products, and released the “2017 Shanghai Air Purifier Product Main Quality Index Test Results” (hereinafter referred to as the quality inspection results). . The results showed that the safety indicators of 39 batches of samples met the requirements, but in other performance indicators, some of the product test results did not reach the qualified level.

According to the quality inspection results, some of the products of Perry, Amami, TOSOT, and NATURE CLEAN have not reached the qualified level of formaldehyde purification; the energy efficiency of toluene purification of some products such as Daikin DAIKIN, Changhong CHiQ, Irene, and NATURE CLEAN has not reached the qualified level.

Some products are not qualified for purification and energy efficiency

According to the "Daily Economic News" reporter, consumers can choose the product that suits them best according to the size of the product and the size of the space and the requirements for purification. The measured area of ​​the applicable area of ​​some products is less than the nominal value. The AP-C120A product of RéFinAIR can be applied to the room of 15~30 square meters, and the measured value is 5~8 square meters. This is also the 39 products of this sampling. The only one in the area is less than 11 square meters.

In terms of purification energy efficiency, the formaldehyde purification energy efficiency of the four products is not up to the qualified level, namely the comparable F200 products, the PJ's KJZ-280 products, the TOSOT KJ200F-A01 products, and the NATURE CLEAN AC-L35GG products. In addition, there are several products whose toluene purification energy efficiency test has not reached the qualified level, including DAIKIN's KJ421F-N01 product, CHiQ's KJ360F-B2M product, Irene's KJ500F-D01 product, and NATURE CLEAN's AC-L35GG product.

Purification energy efficiency refers to the amount of clean air generated by the unit purifier of the air purifier in the rated state. The higher the purification energy efficiency, the larger the clean air volume produced by the unit purifier of the air purifier, the higher the performance of the product, the higher the energy saving. .

In general, in newly renovated rooms, the index of harmful gases such as formaldehyde and toluene will be high, and it is necessary to choose an air purifier with the energy efficiency of removing formaldehyde and toluene. Among the above-mentioned products that fail to meet the qualified level, some products are nominally effective or even highly effective in removing formaldehyde and toluene. The measured values ​​are far from the nominal value and have a significant impact on consumers. For example, Perry's KJZ-280 product is nominally “Using the aldehyde king to meet the activated carbon, the formaldehyde removal efficiency is 95%”, and the measured formaldehyde purification efficiency is 14%.

On March 13th, the reporter of “Daily Economic News” called a number of companies to clean up energy-efficient products that failed to reach the qualified level, and asked about the progress of the incident.

Dajin DAIKIN (China) Investment Co., Ltd. Shanghai Branch related staff said that the company is confirming and handling the matter, and will reply after confirmation. The staff of 邯郸Pai Rui Electric Co., Ltd. said that the company did not receive any news about the product's failure, and asked the reporter to further verify the facts. The NATURE CLEAN company said that it would not accept the interview. When the reporter asked the consumer as a consumer, the company refused to respond.

Afterwards, the reporter saw on the official website of Perry that the unqualified product KJZ-280 air purifier was still on sale, and the price was RMB 1999. On the product details page, “the formaldehyde removal rate was as high as 99%”. Changhong CHiQ official website did not see the KJ360F-B2M purifier. The AC-L35GG purifier of NATURE CLEAN, which has no formaldehyde purification energy efficiency and toluene purification energy efficiency, is still available on its official website. The product introduction page shows “formaldehyde removal rate of 96% (within 2 hours)”.

The production observation observer Hong Shibin told reporters that from the complexity of the business management level, due to the numerous channels involved in the product, from the quality inspection results to the rectification, involving the communication with agents and other aspects, the response speed is not so rapid. On the other hand, it may also reflect the problem that the manufacturer does not pay enough attention to. It can't face the test without more than half a month ago. Hong Shibin believes that enterprises should control from the source, improve the testing standards of products, and timely recover and remove unqualified products to prevent such phenomena from happening again.

Two net products are the new outlets of the industry

According to the observation of the "Daily Economic News" reporter at this year's AWE exhibition, healthy home appliances are still the main event. This product has a wider range of products and more categories.

Among them, air purifiers have always been the focus of attention. On March 9th, Bai Xuetao, a researcher and director of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at the 2018 China Environmental and Health Appliances Summit Forum that fresh air and clean drinking water are the natural basis for human health and are of great significance for health protection. .

Bai Xuetao believes that improving the quality of drinking water and indoor air is to buy insurance for health and life. Whether it's an air purifier or a water purifier, be sure to understand why you should use this under normal conditions. In response to the question of how to choose a water purifier and an air purifier, he put forward four suggestions: one is sleek and simple; the second is safe and reliable; the third is energy saving and environmental protection; the fourth is economical and efficient.

AO. Ji Bing, general manager of the Smith Air Products Division, also conducted a corresponding analysis at the forum, passing AO. The Smith survey found that the market size decreased in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared with the fourth quarter of 2016, mainly because the dividends brought about by the “smog economy” gradually disappeared due to China’s achievements in environmental governance.

So, can companies only rely on market dividends to eat? Ji Bing believes that PM2.5 or smog is only one aspect. From the perspective of consumer demand, the overall market demand for formaldehyde pollution marked by formaldehyde is very strong. In the air purifier industry, the demand for formaldehyde removal products is increasing.

According to Wen Jianping, the chairman of Beijing Aowei Cloud Network Big Data Technology Co., Ltd., the data shows that the entire industry has begun to enter a stage of relatively rational integration, product brands have seen a certain reduction in the market, and new brands have entered. There are more companies that are not suitable for the competitive situation and are gradually withdrawing, forming a process of benign competition. From the perspective of the development stage of the industry, new models are being introduced, and rental models and product free service models are emerging. There will be more changes in business models in the future.

Wen Jianping said that from the perspective of the development stage of the industry, relatively many household electrical products, healthy home appliances are in the early stage of market introduction, and have not yet reached the stage of covering up the real growth. The development of the two net products market is much higher than other categories, and water purifiers and purifiers are a new outlet for the Chinese household appliance industry.
