Three moves to identify the authenticity of firefighting equipment

Generally speaking, identify the authenticity of firefighting equipment from three main aspects.

l Appearance identification. Legitimate fire equipment products have clear and durable signs on the surface and packaging, including product marks and quality inspection marks.

l Qualification identification. Each fire equipment on the fire equipment 3C certification or type approval certificate, the uniform use of certification, approval mark.

l Online inquiry. Log on to the China fire equipment Information Network, check whether the fire equipment purchased belongs to the products on the site for the record, where there is a record of the product is generally qualified products.

Identification of fire extinguishers

l Check the fire extinguisher "ID card". The fire extinguisher bottle is generally affixed with two certification mark stickers, including the black and red laminated stickers attached to the bottle, and hung in the bottle mouth or other parts of the black and white paper stickers. These two stickers are the most intuitive tool to identify the authenticity of fire extinguishers.

l Check the manufacturer's stamp and production date. The bottom ring or neck ring of the fire extinguisher and other parts of the fire extinguisher should be the water pressure test pressure value, the factory year of the steel seal. Remember, no manufacturer's stamp and production date of the fire extinguisher must not be bought and used!

Identification of emergency lighting

The seller should provide the corresponding type approval certificate and inspection report, the report needs to be given after the power failure emergency lighting luminous time, requiring a continuous luminous time of not less than 90 minutes after the power failure. In addition, the light body should be clearly marked with the identity mark, charging signal light, experimental switch button, certificate of compliance, factory date, and manufacturer. The battery used in the light should be clearly marked with the model, voltage, capacity, and other content.

Identification of indoor fire hydrant

Qualified indoor fire hydrant valve body will be marked cast model, specifications and trademark, fire hydrant stem nut using no less than brass will not rust material, and counterfeit fire hydrant stem nut using copper or iron plating, very easy to rust.

Identification of fire hose

The actual length of a qualified water belt is not less than the nominal length of 1 meter, and the plastic lining and outer protective layer will not fall off when passing in high-pressure water. In addition, the qualified water belt fabric layer should be woven evenly, with no jump double warp, broken double warp, jump weft, and scratch. The most critical thing is that the qualified water belt should be marked clearly manufacturer, production date, model, specifications, and categories.

Fire hose

l Check the certification mark, material, and surface quality of the fire hose.

l Checking the quality of the interface, i.e. whether the interface is linked tightly.

l Drop resistance test: no deformation and normal use from a 2-meter high drop several times

To sum up, "three no" products must not want! We must choose clearly marked manufacturer, production date, and certificate of fire equipment, which is the basic guarantee to test whether a product is qualified.
