13 batches of switches were unqualified
In the first quarter of 2018, the Zhejiang Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce organized for the first time the integrated quality sampling of goods in the circulation field according to the regulatory priorities and consumer complaint hotspots. This time, 40 batches of switches were sampled and 13 batches were unqualified. Non-conforming items involve abnormal heat resistance, flame resistance and tracking resistance of signs, heat resistance, terminals, and insulation materials.
Among them, 1 batch of concealed rocker unipolar switch samples with the nominal trademark “Shenli” were found to be unqualified for the logo item. One batch of samples of concealed rocker dual-control switch with the nominal trademark “Jiaen” was found to be unqualified for the logo item. One batch of concealed rocker type dual control switch samples with the nominal trademark “FRESTECH” was found to be unqualified for heat-resistant items. One batch of two-position concealed rocker dual-control switch samples with the nominal trademark “DNN” were found to be unqualified for the logo item. One batch of samples of concealed rocker type dual control switch with the nominal trademark “XINCHENG” was found to be unqualified for the abnormal heat, flame resistance and tracking resistance of the logo, heat resistance, and insulation materials.
Among them, 60 batches of sockets were sampled and 8 batches were unqualified. The sample of 1 batch of extension cord socket with the nominal trademark “OUPU OPPLE Electric” was found to be unqualified for the structural items of the plug and mobile socket; One batch of samples of two- and three-pole sockets with the nominal trademark “green energy” were found to be unqualified for the logo project; One batch of Rubik’s Cube USB samples with the nominal trademark “Great Wall Fengxing” were detected in the structure of plugs and mobile sockets, and the creepage distance, electrical clearance and distance through the sealant were unqualified;
In the sampling inspection of sockets, unqualified heat-resistant and flame-resistant items are also common problems, in this sampling inspection, the samples of 1 batch of two- and three-pole sockets with the nominal trademark “Opup” were found to be unqualified for abnormal heat, flame resistance and leakage tracking resistance of insulation materials; One batch of samples of surface-mounted M1 five-hole socket with the nominal trademark “JIADI” was detected as a sign with anti-electric shock protection, and the insulation material was unqualified for abnormal heat, flame resistance and leakage tracking resistance; A batch of 5A white samples of power strips with the nominal trademark “NetEase Intelligent Manufacturing” were found to be unqualified in heat-resistant items; A sample of 1 batch of 3USB commercial portable sockets with the nominal trademark “medox” was found to be unqualified for heat-resistant items. 1 batch of Hong Kong Punedi USB smart plug board samples with the nominal trademark “HKPUNIDI” were detected with logo, anti-electric shock protection, structure of plug and mobile socket, heat resistance, creepage distance, clearance and distance through sealant, insulation material resistance to abnormal heat, flame resistance and tracking resistance to leakage were unqualified.
▶Anhui.
Heat resistance and electric shock protection items are unqualified as the main problems
On March 15, the official website of Anhui Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce reported the random inspection of the quality of plugs and sockets in the circulation field. The notification showed that 1 batch of socket samples with the nominal trademark “Juben” were found to be unqualified for heat-resistant items. 1 batch of BBK socket samples with the nominal trademark “Lauter” were found to be unqualified in size, protection against electric shock, structure of mobile socket, electrical insulation.

▶Shanghai.
The model number is not indicated, making it impossible for consumers to choose the right product
In February this year, the official website of the Shanghai Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce released the quality sampling of switch sockets, showing that after testing, 2 batches were unqualified, and the unqualified detection rate was 11.1%, of which 9 batches of sampling switches and sockets were each unqualified, and 1 batch was unqualified each. Shanghai Feipu Wire and Cable Co., Ltd. sold in the Yibang hardware building materials market 2 batches of nominal single-coupling switch (single control) produced by Shanghai Ruihe Electric Technology Co., Ltd. (model specifications: RX86-C701A, 86mm×86mm, 10A250V~, qualified products), two-three pole sockets (model specifications: RX86-C705, 86mm×86mm, 10A250V~, qualified products), have not marked the model, It does not conform to the national mandatory standards (the standard requires that the switch and socket models should be marked on the product body).

■ Consumption tips
When purchasing a product, please check the completeness and correctness of the contents of the label
1 From the perspective of product packaging, the completeness of the content of the label or the correctness of the content, check whether there is a clear product name, model, manufacturer’s address, telephone, instructions for use, certificate of conformity, etc. on the product packaging.
2 Good quality switch and socket, smooth appearance, uniform color, no burr in the metal part. Because switches and sockets are mainly composed of copper and plastic insulation materials, good quality products are generally made of sufficient materials, and the insulation materials and copper materials are relatively thick, so they are relatively heavy.
3 Obtain shopping invoices, receipts, receipts and other shopping vouchers in order to protect their legitimate rights and interests.
4 Kitchen, bathroom, open balcony and other spaces Because there is often water and oil smoke, it is recommended to choose switches and sockets with splash-proof water boxes or plastic baffles. Socket with safety door design, can prevent children from accidentally plugging in electric shock, you can use the key to try the tightness of the safety door, a better safety door socket contains a double-layer insulation structure, even if the metal object pokes the first layer of insulation plastic, there will be insulation below.
5 TVs, washing machines, ovens, disinfection cabinets, microwave ovens and other electrical appliances that do not often pull the plug, it is best to use a socket with a switch, so that the power can be cut off without pulling the plug.
