Guangdong will formulate at least ten local standards for home appliances this year

Guangdong is once again at the forefront of standards development in the standard setting: Within this year, Guangdong will initiate the development of at least ten local household appliances standards, including hot-air technology standards such as solar air-conditioning standards, air-conditioning comfort standards, and Internet of things home appliances standards. The Yangcheng Evening News reporter learned exclusively yesterday that with the approval of the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision, the Guangdong Household Electrical Appliances Standardization Technical Committee was formally established at the headquarters of the US Shunde Group on that day. It is responsible for the research and drafting of local standards for household appliances in Guangdong. The criteria of the item start immediately.

Zhang Yanfei, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision, said that upgrading the home appliance industry through standardization is an important route for Guangdong to move from a household appliance province to a home appliance province. An important point in the local standards for household appliances in Guangdong is to “higher or better than the leading standard and national standard”.

In recent years, products such as IoT home appliances, smart home appliances, home appliances, embedded home appliances, and new-feature home appliances have emerged. Many new products lack national standards and standards, and can only be produced in accordance with corporate standards. Standards are not uniform and have become an obstacle to the development of the industry. One of the major obstacles. To this end, the main function of the newly established Guangdong Household Appliances Standards Committee is to upgrade the company's standards to local standards in Guangdong Province, and to take the lead in regulating the production and market operation order in Guangdong Province.

Since 2006, the National Standardization Management Committee has reformed the formulation of national standards and encouraged companies to actively participate in the revision of national standards. With the home appliance industry as a pilot, China's home appliance industry standards have been markedly accelerated. Liao Changjing, Director of the Integrated Business Department of China National Light Industry Council, said that at present there are more than 400 standards in China's home appliance industry, but most of them are safety standards and performance standards, and the development of local standards is still blank.
