Industry Policy: New National Standard Implements Sanitary Industry Reintegration

Recently, seven new national standards for building sanitary ceramics will be formally implemented. The new standard imposes mandatory regulations on building ceramics, sanitary ware, and raw materials for building sanitary ceramics. These regulations not only regulate the market standards for the ceramic industry, improve the quality of products for building ceramic sanitary ware, but also increase the access threshold and help establish a good competitive environment for the industry. In this new national standard, water-saving sanitary ware was again listed as a separate standard, which also indicates that the future of water-saving sanitary ware will become the mainstream of the market.

The new implementation of the standards for the old standard, its product quality, performance and other requirements more stringent. Moreover, unlike the previous industry regulations, this new national standard is mandatory. In the future, it will increase the degree of random inspection of products entering the market. The industrial and commercial departments and relevant technical supervision departments and product quality supervision departments shall take joint actions to strictly control product standards. The relevant personage of Fujian Plumbing Bathroom Valve Industry Association introduced that there are only five or six hundred sanitary ware manufacturing companies in Nan'an City, many of which also involve sanitary ceramic sanitary wares. After the implementation of the new national standard, products that do not meet the requirements are not Enterprises that adapt to new conditions will inevitably be phased out of the market. But for most companies, especially big brands in the industry, their own product standards have reached or exceeded the new national standard. “This may be a good opportunity to integrate the entire industry again, product quality and industry image. Improved, it is also conducive to our sanitary ceramic products into the international market."

In this new national standard, water-saving sanitary ware is listed as a separate project, which is not surprising to those in the industry. From the year 2000 onwards, relevant national departments have also successively introduced the national compulsory standards for "6 litre water closet supporting systems", the "water-saving domestic water appliances" standard, the "sanitary sanitary fittings production fixed-point management measures", and the "water-saving products". "Technical conditions and management general rules" and other standards and regulations, which allows health ceramics production enterprises to accelerate the pace of research and development and production of water-saving toilets, and set a higher standard, ultra-6L toilet was also blocked early in the door.

The reporter interviewed Quanzhou sanitary ware and ceramics production enterprises such as Jiumu and Shenluda. These companies have shown no significant impact on the implementation of the new national standard. Many of these standards are the norms that the company itself has implemented for many years and do not need to make much changes nowadays. . Especially in terms of water saving, Quanzhou's sanitary ware companies have started to develop environmentally friendly water-saving products. 6L, 4L, and 3.5L toilet products have been widely used, and even the washed water is used to flush toilets. system.

“Actually, the launch of the new national standard is largely to meet the needs of the market.” Mr. Wang, who has been engaged in marketing for many years in a bathroom company, said that bathroom water accounts for 60% to 70% of household water, and toilets are among them. One of the “big users” of water, with the improvement of environmental awareness and rising water prices in recent years, consumers have begun to look at the appearance, color, etc. of the sanitary ware, especially toilets, and gradually focused on water-saving functions. The implementation of the new national standard will undoubtedly help this trend once again.
