Do you have a shady bathroom market?

There are several phenomena in the sanitary ware market: the pricing is vain, and the upset price is raised; the product standards of various business units are not the same, the concept of chaos is deceived by consumers, and the manufacturing of fake “identities” disguise foreign brands to cheat on high prices.

It is reported that the price of sanitary ware on the market is high and scary, and they are all over a thousand dollars. Generally, you can get 20% off, and the lowest can be more than 40% off. It can be seen how much "moisture" is hidden in the pricing of certain commodities. The owner of a sanitary ware store that specializes in the sale of “China's Top Ten Brands in the Sanitary Ware Industry” product tells the truth: “We don’t sell anything at the price of the subject and we generally have to pay 50% off the price. If you buy more, Can also discuss. " Xiao Bian asked: "Why would you put the price tag so high, do not worry about scaring customers away?" The owner also feel helpless, "No way, customers always bargain , you mark the price, the customer can not be cheaper when buying, so the customer is not willing to buy your thing."

In many bathroom stores have found that businesses like the concept of hype to "deaf" consumers. At the certain sanitary ware store, the owner said that he sold green and non-radioactive products here. In another store selling Zhejiang brand sanitary ware, the shop owner also guarantees that she is selling absolutely high-temperature aseptic products. “Now most of them are high-temperature pottery, who also sells low-temperature pottery!” As for what is low-temperature pottery high-temperature pottery ? What is the difference between the two? The owner is not quite sure. Under repeated questioning, she said: “I tell you, our products have reached a temperature of 1800 degrees at the time of firing. Temperatures of over 800 degrees are low-temperature ceramics. The temperature of 1600 degrees is medium temperature pottery, and it is only when we reach our temperature that it is high temperature pottery."

Ms. Chen of the Ceramic Sanitary Ceramics Committee of the China Silicate Academy pointed out that the temperature at which firing is achieved is high temperature pottery, and how many degrees it is low temperature pottery. The so-called high and low temperature is only the firing temperature, but it is only from the perspective of energy conservation, and there is no inevitable link with the quality of the product. Low temperature does not mean that the quality is not good, as long as the finished product meets the national standards. Many glazes on ceramics are also chosen by manufacturers based on their own needs. Some manufacturers in the ceramic after the completion of a layer of glaze, if there is a small capillary pores on the ceramic surface, then a layer of glaze, so that the surface of the product is more smooth.

In fact, how many layers of glaze is not important, only the surface finish of the product can reach the national standard. From a technical point of view, it is unrealistic for sanitary products to achieve what some manufacturers call “sterility”. At present, it can only be said that some products have the function of self-cleaning and antibacterial, because antibacterial agents are added to the glaze. However, because the duration of the antibacterial effect of this product is still difficult to measure, there is also no unified standard. It is a new product and cannot be evaluated at present.

She also pointed out that the problem of radiation, in terms of sanitary ware, most of the current products within the scope of the state allow, if there is excessive, it is not in the ceramic itself. However, some manufacturers have added zirconium silicate because the whiteness of the glaze is not enough for whitening. This material is associated with * and is radioactive. However, because the radiation of the product is directly proportional to its weight, the glaze is less than one-tenth of the total weight of the bathroom product, so in general it will not exceed the standard, so the radiation of the bathroom product is not a mandatory indicator of the state. Inside.

When consumers face dazzling bathroom products, because they do not have comprehensive "professional quality knowledge," the descriptions and logos attached to product packaging often become the most persuasive basis for purchase. More and more consumers will ask the merchants for test reports when they purchase ceramic products. If the merchants hand in products such as foreign language reports, reports, fake materials and various kinds of so-called honorary titles, etc. Consumers are often stupid. Some of the descriptions and logos attached to the product packaging contain a lot of problems such as nonstandard labeling, incomplete certification marks, and some to boast of their special “environmental friendly” big-word games, and some simply openly paste fake country quality. Certification mark.

Requested to see the product's relevant test report, and many businesses out of the test report is in foreign languages. According to relevant regulations, all products sold in China must meet China's national standards and must provide Chinese test reports. In some reports, only one sample has been tested, some have undergone batch testing of the product, and some have sampled and tested a batch of products... The items examined include: quantity, sample size, volatile organic compounds, free formaldehyde, Heavy metals and soluble lead, chromium, mercury and more than ten. However, some brands only have several test data such as appearance and date.

According to experts, there are two types of product quality inspection reports on the market. One is spot inspection (sampling inspection) and the other is inspection inspection (consignment inspection). The entrusted inspection report will be marked as “responsible only for samples and samples” instead of being responsible for the products sold to the market. If it is for sample inspection, the company does not rule out the selection of the best products, or even purchase other products from the market. Get the possibility of testing at a national quality inspection station. Therefore, the inspection report is only responsible for the inspection of the single product, and the sampling inspection report is responsible for the sampling of a batch of products. In this way, the various testing indicators of the product sent by the manufacturer and the product sold may not be completely consistent. There are still some illegal companies on the market. In order to expand sales, they have taken the liberty of directly forging quality inspection reports or labeling “Three A” standards. Experts remind that when companies use a test report as a tool to promote product image, consumers should be vigilant in the face of products that provide such test reports.
