What is the sampling data of refrigerator products in the past 3 years?
The advent of the refrigerator has changed the eating habits and experience of human beings, and on a hot summer day, you can have a cup of cold ice cola and a sip of cold watermelon.
So, what is the pass rate of refrigerator sampling? Which brands and indicators are susceptible to failure? What do consumers need to be aware of?
In February 2024, Consumer Reports compiled the sampling data of refrigerator products released by the State Administration for Market Regulation and provincial and municipal market supervision administrations from 2021 to 2023, and analyzed the data to draw useful conclusions for consumers.
The results showed that the regulatory authorities had a total of random inspections within three years660 batches of refrigerator products, of which 138 batches were unqualified, involvingZhigao, TCL, Siemens, Electrolux, Jin ShuaiThe main unqualified items are energy efficiency grade, power consumption, total volume, protection against touching live parts, etc.
138 batches were unqualified, involving
Zhigao, Siemens, TCL, Electrolux and other nominal trademarks
In ancient times, humans knew how to use low temperatures to store food. The "Zhou Li" records the Bing Jian, which uses ice cubes taken from heaven and earth, which has the effect of preserving, preserving and refrigerating food. In the summer, the nobles took out the fruits, vegetables and vegetables inside to eat, or took out ice cubes to make popsicles, ice drinks, etc.
Refrigerators are the focus of regulatory supervision in the past three years, that is, from 2021 to 2023The State Administration for Market Regulation and the provincial and municipal market supervision and administration bureaus sampled a total of 660 batches of refrigerator products, of which 138 batches were unqualified, the pass rate is 791%。
According to the analysis of the year, the trend of the pass rate of refrigerators has moved up as a whole, and the pass rate in 2021 is 764%, and the pass rate in 2022 is 710%, and the pass rate will rise to 84 in 20238%, and the total sampling batch is also twice that of 2022.
Many brands were found to be unqualified, including refrigerator products with nominal trademarks such as Chigo, TCL, Siemens, Electrolux, and Jinshuai.
The details are as follows:
The refrigerator nominally produced by "Foshan Jinjing Electric Appliance ***" with the nominal trademark "Zhigao" was detected as unqualified in many batches.
In December 2021, the Zhejiang Provincial Administration for Market Supervision issued a notice on the random inspection, and 1 batch of "Zhigao Chigo" refrigerators (including freezers) (household refrigerators) nominally produced by "Foshan Jinjing Electric Appliances" was unqualified, and the sales unit was "Ningbo Feilong Household Appliances Group's *** specification model BCD-38A118D, and the unqualified items were determined by the total volume and energy efficiency grade.
In June 2022, the Sichuan Provincial Administration for Market Regulation issued a notice on supervision and random inspections, and 1 batch was nominally composed of"The refrigerators and freezers produced by Foshan Jinjing Electric Appliance *** with the trademark "Zhigao" are unqualifiedThe unqualified items are noise and energy efficiency level (energy efficiency index).
TCL, Siemens and other big-name refrigerators were also found to be unqualified.
In October 2023, the Shandong Provincial Administration for Market Regulation released the results of supervision and random inspections2 batches of "TCL" frost-free refrigerated freezers nominally produced by "TCL Household Appliances (Hefei)**" were unqualifiedThe specifications and models are R207V5-C and BCD-200CW, and the unqualified items are energy efficiency level and power consumption (comprehensive power consumption, standard power consumption).
The seller Weifang Suning Tesco Commerce *** producer TCL Household Appliances (Hefei) ** objected to the inspection results and applied for re-inspection; However, after the re-examination, the conclusion of the initial inspection was maintained.
In February 2023, the Shanghai Municipal Administration for Market Regulation released the results of product quality supervision and random inspection1 batch of "siemens" frost-free refrigerated freezers nominally produced by "BSH Household Appliances***" was unqualified, the specification model is BCD-501W (KX50NA30TI), and the unqualified item is the structure.
Siemens is Siemens Home Appliances, a German high-end home appliance brand, covering built-in home appliances, kitchen appliances, washing machines, refrigerators, refrigeration equipment, dishwashers, coffee machines and vacuum cleaners. At present, Europe and China are the key markets for Siemens home appliances.
Other unqualified manufacturers and brands will not be repeated.
96 batches of energy efficiency grade indicators were unqualified, accounting for about 27%.
In the sampling, the unqualified items of the refrigerator are also relatively concentrated, mainly for the energy efficiency level, power consumption, total volume, protection against touching live parts, etc.
The energy efficiency level (power consumption per unit of efficacy, water consumption per unit of efficacy, washing ratio) indicators were the most serious, with as many as 96 batches being unqualified, accounting for 268%。When shopping for refrigerators, we will find that each refrigerator has an energy efficiency rating label.
Energy efficiency grade is a grading method that indicates the energy efficiency of household appliances, according to the national standard, the domestic energy efficiency label will be divided into five levels of energy efficiency. Level 1 has the lowest energy consumption, which means that the energy efficiency of the product has reached the international advanced level; Level 2 indicates that the product is relatively power-saving; Level 3 indicates that the energy efficiency of the product is the average level of the domestic market; Level 4 indicates that the energy efficiency of the product is below the market average; Level 5 is the market access standard, and products below the requirements of this level are not allowed to be produced and sold.
73 batches of unqualified power consumption indicators, accounting for more than 20%, are the second largest unqualified indicators。As an electrical appliance that is powered on 24 hours a day, the power consumption of the refrigerator is also an indicator that consumers should pay attention to. The lower the overall power consumption value, the less power the refrigerator consumes under laboratory conditions. In terms of power consumption, if it is not qualified, it means that it consumes a lot of power.
The total volume of 48 batches was unqualified. Refrigeration, storage of food is the most important function of the refrigerator, the index is directly related to the consumer "cooking" how much, the refrigerator model is usually associated with the total volume, the total volume and the volume of each room size of the explicit parameters, for consumers to buy a reference role. If the total volume of the product is false, it will directly affect the consumer's purchase judgment and daily use experience.
Other indicators such as protection against live parts, storage temperature, signs and instructions, and freezing capacity are also prone to failure, and consumers need to pay attention to them.
Consumer Reports advises
Refrigerator is a kind of refrigeration equipment that maintains a constant low temperature, which can keep food or other items at a constant low temperature, and is also a must-have electrical product for many families.
Consumers can choose or use refrigerators in the following ways:
1) Look for the national compulsory certification "CCC" mark (3C mark) and energy efficiency mark. The refrigerator is a product listed in the national compulsory safety certification catalogue and the energy efficiency label catalogue, which must pass the product certification and be affixed with the CCC certification mark and energy efficiency label.
2) When buying a refrigerator, pay attention to the population and area of the family, estimate how much food will need to be refrigerated at home, and then decide how much capacity and volume of the refrigerator to buy.
3) There is no shortage of concepts such as "0 preservation, vacuum preservation, humidification preservation, and precise temperature control" on the market, which can theoretically play a certain role in delaying the preservation of spoilage for different foods, but there is no unified method of national standards for evaluation, and consumers should look at it rationally.
