On February 25, a reporter was informed by the Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau about a recent initiative to conduct quality inspections on various consumer products, including presbyopic glasses (reading glasses), lamps, LED lights, and beauty and hairdressing appliances. The inspection aimed to identify any potential quality issues across these items.
A total of 11 different product categories were sampled during this round of testing. Among them, food plastic packaging containers, matching glasses, safes, antifreeze, brake fluid, and ceramic tiles showed a 0% unqualified detection rate, meaning no quality problems were found. However, several other products had notable non-compliance rates: washing products at 3.2%, presbyopic glasses at 13.3%, lamps at 20%, LED lights at 6.5%, and hairdressing appliances at 3.7%.
The lamp and lighting equipment inspection involved 35 batches from 28 manufacturers and distributors across the province, including 7 production companies and 21 distribution businesses. Products tested included fixed lamps, portable lamps, and embedded lighting devices. A total of nine key parameters were evaluated, such as structural design (trunk trough), power connection methods, external and internal wiring cross-sectional areas, shock protection, heat resistance, flame resistance, ignition resistance, electrical resistance, creepage distance, and harmonic current limits.
Out of the 35 batches, 28 passed the tests, while 7 failed, resulting in a 20% unqualified detection rate. Of these, one batch came from a local enterprise, and six were produced outside the province. The primary issues identified included structural failures, inadequate external and internal wiring cross-sections, poor insulation resistance, and insufficient electrical strength.
According to officials from the Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau, products with thin wires—either externally or internally—can lead to reduced current-carrying capacity, causing overheating during use. This can significantly weaken the insulation properties of the wires, leading to serious risks like burning or short circuits, which may result in fires and endanger users.
The root causes of these issues often stem from cost-cutting measures, where some manufacturers use substandard cables or low-quality electronic components. Additionally, small enterprises with minimal entry barriers sometimes lack basic production facilities, proper understanding of standards, and necessary testing equipment, contributing to product failures.
In this particular inspection, the Shanxi Lamps Supermarket's Taiyuan Jiannan Store was found selling table lamps made by Yingke Lighting Appliance Co., Ltd. in Shunde District, Foshan City, which posed safety risks. Similarly, the Hongliang Beauty Salon Supplies in Taiyuan’s Yingze District sold hair dryers with quality issues.
This report highlights the importance of regular quality checks and the need for stricter compliance to ensure consumer safety and product reliability.
