On December 16, the Ministry of Emergency Management of the People's Republic of China issued an urgent reminder to remind the general public to be wary of the so-called "kitchen artifact" - the energy ring. Due to the frequent occurrence of carbon monoxide poisoning incidents caused by the use of shaped rings, many places and departments across the country have issued safety tips. For example, in 2022, there will be a number of carbon monoxide poisoning incidents caused by residents installing energy rings in Yongle East District and Yanbao Jingyuan Jiayuan Homes in Shijingshan District, BeijingIn 2021, a resident of Tangshan Street, Rixin Street, Xigang District, Dalian City, suffered carbon monoxide poisoning due to the use of a shaped ring;In 2021, there were four cases of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by the use of shaped rings in Kundulun District, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia. Behind these incidents, it may be due to the lack of public awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection, but more because of the potential safety hazards of the energy ring itself. The market supervision authorities and emergency management departments in many places have issued safety tips on several occasions, reminding the public not to install devices or accessories other than factory products on gas appliances that may affect the performance of gas appliances without permission. The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Market Supervision also issued the "Product Safety Tips on Fire and Wind Devices for Gas Stoves", which clearly reminds consumers that they should not install gas stove fire and wind protection devices without permission.
Yulin in Shaanxi, Urumqi in Xinjiang, Jiamusi in Heilongjiang and other places have also banned the use of energy rings. In the online sales channel, the sales business of the energy ring is booming, but the product quality is worrying. Searching for the keyword "gas stove windshield energy-saving ring" on a number of e-commerce platforms, the platform shows a total of more than 5,000 products, ranging from 3 to 4 yuan to 200 yuan. Sales data shows that many stores have sold more than 100,000 pieces. However, the reporter found that when consulting merchants about product quality and qualification certificates, they were all responded that "they could not provide product quality inspection reports", which made it difficult for consumers to buy with confidence. For the problem of energy gathering ring, it is not only necessary for relevant departments to introduce stricter regulatory measures, but also for the public to have a correct understanding of energy conservation and environmental protection. While pursuing energy conservation and emission reduction, we need to pay more attention to safety and avoid harming ourselves and our families by fighting small for big. Therefore, we should choose products that meet the best standards and have quality inspection reports, avoid blindly following the trend, and strike a balance between safety and energy saving. Finally, in order to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents, I would like to ask the readers, how do you think you can ensure the safety of life while ensuring energy saving?
A journalist bought one for $139 yuan of energy ring, but the product manual only mentions that the use on the glass cooktop is strictly prohibited, and does not mention the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by insufficient gas combustion. On the contrary, the instructions claim that the product can fully burn the gas and reduce carbon monoxide emissions by 50%-80%. According to Tianyancha's information, the manufacturer is located in Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province, and is registered as an individual industrial and commercial household. However, when checking the information of the product certificate on the official website of the Standardization Administration of the People's Republic of China, it was found that the product was not registered with the certificate, but was suspected of stealing the information of other enterprises. Based on the above, it is necessary to advise users not to install a shaped ring on the original gas cooktop without permission. According to Article 28 of the "Regulations on the Administration of Urban Gas" published by the People's Republic of China, gas users are not allowed to install, modify or dismantle indoor gas facilities and gas metering devices without permission. In addition, the Gas Engineering Project Code (GB 55009-2021) requires that household users shall not install devices or accessories on gas appliances that may affect the performance of gas appliances without permission. The relevant person in charge of the Certification and Supervision Department of the State Administration for Market Regulation said that the energy ring does not belong to the scope of compulsory product certification.
According to expert feedback, the ring may affect the air flow around the gas cooker burner, adversely affecting normal combustion conditions, causing problems such as excessive carbon monoxide. Therefore, it is again recommended that users do not install a shaped ring on the original gas cooker without authorization. To sum up, users should be vigilant and not easily add unauthorized products to gas cooktops. Such behavior may not only violate regulations, but also create a potential risk to family safety. For the use and installation of gas cooktops, users should follow relevant laws, regulations and standards to ensure safe and compliant use. Finally, it is worth thinking about how to strengthen the supervision of similar products on the market to protect the rights and interests of users and safety
