Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, as China's "lights", the export of lighting products accounted for 1/5 of the national inspection and export lighting products. In recent years, Zhongshan Inspection and Quarantine Bureau has vigorously carried out special rectification actions for export lighting quality and safety in the jurisdiction, effectively improving the quality of export lighting products. At the same time, we also analyzed some common unqualified items found in inspection and supervision, and practiced I have found some regulatory countermeasures. I. Overview of common unqualified projects for exporting lamps According to the unqualified cases detected by special rectification actions and daily inspection and supervision, as well as the notification cases of Zhongshan export lamps by EU, Hong Kong and other countries and regions, the main unqualified items of export lighting products are concentrated in signs, structures, internal and external wiring, grounding. , protection against electric shock, durability and thermal testing, heat and fire resistance, etc., the specific performance is: 1. The mark or description does not meet the requirements of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards or exporting countries. Non-conforming items are mainly concentrated on source identification, power connection instructions, and logo durability. For example, the lamp has no signage nameplate or no manufacturer name or trademark, the number of light sources is not indicated by the multi-head lamp, the nameplate of the lamp has been wiped off by the test, the lamp power and the type of the light source are not marked, and the fixed lamp has no "fit or discomfort." For symbols mounted directly on the surface of ordinary combustible materials, etc. 2. Structural defects lead to hidden dangers of fire and electric shock. The main performance is that the selected materials do not meet the requirements in terms of physical properties and flame resistance, or the selected electrical components do not meet the specifications. For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the power cord is not up to standard, and there is a hidden danger of excessive heat; the edge of the conduit is sharp, and there is no proper protection device, which causes the power cord to be easily punctured by sharp edges of the metal. 3. Insulation and grounding measures There are problems such as the selection of insulating materials that do not conform to the specifications and the internal wiring is not standardized. For example, if the grounding device is improper, the grounding resistance is too large; the power cord of the lamp is not fixed firmly, and the power terminal is not properly positioned or protected. Second, the reasons for the common unqualified items of export lamps According to the analysis of the unqualified items, it can be seen that there are some defects in the export lighting industry that are not quality-conscious and management level is not high. Specifically, it can be summarized as follows: 1. The quality system of many small and medium-sized lighting enterprises has not passed the ISO9000 management system certification, and the product quality is difficult to be continuously guaranteed. 2. Some SMEs do not have a rigorous design and development process, process production according to customer requirements, or simply engage in the assembly of imitation samples. For example, if the customer requests no marking, the most basic voltage on the product nameplate will not be marked; the enterprise inspector does not understand or understand the new product safety standards and requirements of the exporting country, resulting in the lack of inspection supervision. 3. The quality of export lighting products has obvious regional characteristics. Most of the lighting products that are generally exported to Europe and the United States and countries have been certified by the exporting countries. For example, the products have been certified by the US Insurance Insurance (UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and other authorities, and the quality of these lighting products is generally good. Since the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa and other countries and regions do not have specific standards for lighting products, some enterprises are seeking private profits, using poor raw materials and simple production processes, and even producing equipment with insufficient testing equipment. , then the quality of products exported to these countries and regions will certainly have hidden dangers. 4. In the context of fierce market competition, some export lighting products manufacturers use low-priced materials and components due to low customer purchase prices. The specific performance is as follows: the internal and external wiring use less than the standard required wire diameter, the ballast should use copper wire, but use low-cost copper-clad aluminum wire or even aluminum wire, should use fire-proof terminal block but use non-fireproof material Wait. In the special rectification operation, Zhongshan Inspection and Quarantine Bureau found that 23% of the power line diameters in the sampled enterprises were seriously insufficient. On-site inspection by inspection personnel, some enterprises have clearly marked the cross-sectional area of ​​0.75mm2, but the actual half is not reached; some core materials are reduced to copper-clad aluminum, aluminum or iron; some power lines are insulated The layer thickness is not up to standard, and there is even a phenomenon of using recycled materials. 5. Most enterprises have not paid enough attention to the traceability mechanism, and they have insufficient understanding of the importance of some test items. There are hidden dangers and risks that cause large-scale recalls if quality accidents cannot be traced. Some enterprises pay insufficient attention to the detection of temperature rise of fire prevention projects, and lack of proper control measures. If there is a glass cover spotlight, the temperature may be too high, which may cause the danger of rupture and injury. Third, improve the supervision of export lighting The lighting industry has the characteristics of simple product structure, less electrical parts, complete market accessories, easy assembly, and low entry threshold, which makes it more difficult for inspection and quarantine departments to inspect and supervise. We should do a good job in enterprise classification management and risk assessment according to the actual production scale, export country and product category of the enterprise, and carry out targeted inspection and supervision of lamps. 1. Increase support and publicity efforts, and enhance corporate legal awareness and quality awareness. Through corporate symposiums and strengthening media media propaganda, the company will analyze the situation, educate the policy, publicize and report on cases of illegal cases, strengthen the awareness of “the enterprise is the first responsible person of product qualityâ€, and effectively promote the enterprise to strengthen product quality. Control to improve the consciousness of operating according to law. In addition, the company is guided to abide by the integrity of the company, strengthen the management of the entrusted agency inspection company, and lay a solid foundation for the serious inspection and quarantine work order. At the same time, the inspection and quarantine department should take support measures, such as helping enterprises establish and improve management systems, conduct inspection training for enterprises, and guide enterprises to improve products. 2. Do a good job in enterprise classification management. According to the "Administrative Measures for the Classification of Exported Industrial Product Manufacturing Enterprises", the enterprise shall classify and manage the enterprise's quality integrity, quality assurance capability, product quality status, and corporate integrity, according to the enterprise category and product risk, and the product is exported to the country. Factors adopt different supervision modes, and enterprises with chaotic management and poor product quality should be listed in the key supervision list for strict management. 3. Implement safety member filing management for export lighting products and strictly manage batches. Implement safety management record management for export lighting products, including key components such as lamp holders, power cords, switches, ballasts, etc., and require enterprises to provide product certification, test reports, technical parameters and other information, and record and register after approval. To this end, Zhongshan Inspection and Quarantine Bureau has formulated a batch management method for export lighting products, and does not accept inspection and inspection for export lighting products that have not implemented batch management. This measure has greatly promoted the improvement of the quality of Zhongshan's export lighting products, and has also played a deterrent role in the false reporting and reporting behavior. At the same time, the unqualified detection rate has increased significantly, effectively preventing unqualified products from flowing out of the country. 4. Strict management of export lighting products purchased by the market. Zhongshan Inspection and Quarantine Bureau found that many products exported to Africa and the Middle East were purchased and ordered through the market during the pre-shipment inspection of products exported to Africa. Many of the lamps and lanterns did not have any logo, especially the lack of source. In order to pursue low prices, importers destined for the country are required to produce at low cost according to customer requirements. The quality of the products cannot be controlled and guaranteed, and the products have serious safety hazards. In order to prevent these unqualified products from flowing into the international market, Zhongshan Inspection and Quarantine Bureau will not accept the inspection of the lamps and lanterns purchased by the market in principle, but if the enterprise conducts type testing on the products as required, the products will be released. 5. Increase the inspection efforts of the port on the export of lighting products, especially the external lighting products of the "Inspection Catalogue". The port office is required to inspect the export lighting products in strict accordance with the batching rate; the daily regulatory department requires the enterprise to provide various pictures such as physical pictures of the goods when accepting the inspection of the export lighting products, so as to check the type test and safety of the lighting products. The materials, production batch numbers and other information, and through the internal fax or mail, etc., require the port office to conduct an investigation, so that the batch inspection is more targeted. 6. Strengthen the tracking of unqualified products. For the unqualified items found in the type test and the batch inspection, the company is urged to seriously complete the rectification report, analyze the reasons for the failure and the corrective measures to be taken. In addition, the regulatory authorities should strengthen the tracking of the rectification of unqualified products, and at the same time take three batches of batch-by-batch inspections for rectified and qualified products to ensure that the unqualified products have been thoroughly rectified.
