In the cold winter, if there is no heating in the home, the meal is very easy to get cold. As long as the food is placed on it and the temperature is set, the temperature of the meal can be maintained, even if it is a cold winter, you can chat and eat with your family unhurriedly. During the epidemic, such products became popular on platforms such as Douyin and Xiaohongshu, and were well known to the public, and achieved good market sales results.
In order to further guide the healthy development of the food insulation board industry, on December 4, 2023, the China Household Electrical Appliances Association issued the group standard of T CHEAA 0025-2023 "Household and Similar Insulation Boards", which standardizes the industry in terms of technical requirements and evaluation.
With the explosion of social platforms, the food insulation board industry has ushered in rapid development, and more and more companies have joined the market competition. Nowadays, the food insulation board and thermal insulation dish on the market are rich in functions, which can realize the functions of warm stewing, warm milk, warm wine, warm vegetables, thawing, etc., and can also heat and keep warm containers of various materials, and at the same time have a variety of shapes such as 360° rotation, folding, and slimming.
Although the market size continues to grow, the standard system of the food insulation board industry is not perfect. According to Cheng Jiuqian, the project manager of the Supor warm cutting board category, there was only one national standard GB 4706 in the industry before55-2008 "Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances Special Requirements for Insulation Boards and Similar Appliances". However, the content of this standard is relatively simple, and it is mainly to standardize the products of thermal insulation appliances, and the specification content of food insulation boards is less, which cannot meet the development needs of the industry.
As a flat plate heating appliance, the safety performance of the food insulation board is very important. The State Administration for Market Regulation has also recently carried out product quality and safety risk monitoring on food insulation boards and similar utensils. After comprehensive analysis and evaluation, this type of product has the risk of overload and overheating, which may cause scalding;The mechanical strength of the tempered glass on the heated surface is insufficient, and there is a risk of electric shock and scratches;The flame retardant performance of the insulating material is insufficient, and there is a risk of **;There are quality and safety risks for the protection and structural projects that touch live parts, which may cause electric shock and **.
It can be seen that improving industry standards is particularly important to standardize the healthy development of the industry and protect the safety of consumers' property. At the beginning of 2022, Zhejiang Shaoxing Supor Household Products*** proposed the standard project intention of "Household and Similar Purpose Insulation Board" to the Rice Cooker Professional Committee of China Household Electrical Appliances AssociationIn June 2022, the standard project of "Household and Similar Purpose Insulation Board" was officially approved.
After the project was approved, the leading unit of the project, the Rice Cooker Professional Committee of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, convened and formally established a standard drafting working group, and the mainstream enterprises in the industry participated in the standard drafting work. The members of the standard drafting group include: China Household Electrical Appliances Association, Zhejiang Shaoxing Supor Household Products, Guangdong Midea Environmental Electrical Appliance Manufacturing, Joyoung Co., Ltd., Ma'anshan Yuemei Intelligent Manufacturing Electronic Technology, Guangdong Xinbao Electric Co., Ltd., Guangdong Triangle Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd., It is reported that the total share of the members of the standard drafting group in China's food insulation board market exceeds 80%.
Household and Similar Insulation Boards stipulates the terms and definitions, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, signs and instructions, packaging, transportation and storage of household and similar insulation boards, and is applicable to household and similar insulation boards with a rated voltage of not more than 250V, and is not suitable for similar appliances intended for use by professionals only.
After several rounds of discussion and confirmation and the test and verification of the enterprise, the "Household and Similar Purpose Insulation Board" has standardized the technical requirements of food insulation boards, including normal working environment requirements, safety requirements, electromagnetic compatibility, thermal insulation requirements, heating time, main component requirements, round (rotatable) appliance stability, durability and dropping, etc., and stipulates the corresponding test methods and inspection rules, as well as signs and instructions, packaging, transportation and storage.
According to the reporter of "Electrical Appliances", in the drafting of "Household and Similar Insulation Boards", the insulation requirements and the requirements of the main components were focused on and discussed. In this regard, Cheng Jiuqian said: "Thermal insulation is the core function of food insulation board, so it is very important to put forward unified indicators and standardize the thermal insulation requirements of the industry, which is very important for the healthy development of the industry." ”
Household and similar use insulation boards" clearly stipulates the insulation range, temperature zone range and temperature range of electronic control tools and mechanical control tools. The discussion on the drafting of the standard mainly focused on the insulation range of the insulation board. The insulation amplitude is the core technical index of the insulation board, which represents the consistency and stability of the industrialization of the insulation board, which can more standardize the performance requirements of the insulation board and improve the practicability of the insulation board.
The discussion of the main components focused on the glass panels. "At present, the glass industry mainly implements the industry standard for building materials and the industry standard for cooking utensils, but neither of these standards is suitable for food heating plates. Cheng Jiuqian further explained, "The food insulation board is directly used as the heating surface of the product, which has higher requirements for resistance, cold and thermal shock, etc. ”
Therefore, the "Household and Similar Purpose Insulation Board" puts forward specific requirements for the impact resistance and resistance of glass panels, as well as the state of glass panel fragments and high temperature resistance.
The implementation of "Household and Similar Insulation Boards" will be of great significance to consumers, enterprises and industries. Cheng Jiuqian said that for consumers, the implementation of the standard will standardize the safety and convenience of the product, and the product will be more safe and reliableFor enterprises, the standard puts forward unified technical requirements, product research and development is more standardized, and at the same time provides a direction for product upgradingFor the industry, not only the participating enterprises will actively carry out R&D and manufacturing in accordance with the requirements of the standard, but other enterprises will gradually adopt the standard when benchmarking the products of large enterprises, and the development of the industry will be healthier.
