How to distinguish true and false fire extinguisher

Fire extinguisher is one of the commonly used fire prevention measures. A qualified fire extinguisher can quickly extinguish the fire source in the event of a fire, and fake and shoddy products may cause tragedy. Therefore, the correct identification of true and false fire extinguishers allows us to avoid unlawful vendor fraud when purchasing fire extinguishers and is also responsible for the safety of our lives and property.

China Rescue Equipment Network teaches you to identify true and false fire extinguishers:

1, check the product appearance and packaging

When purchasing a fire extinguisher, check the product appearance and packaging. Select the steel plate to adopt the principle of deviation, the general purchase of 1.5mm thick steel plate, so that after the overall stretch can guarantee higher than the manufacturer's standard 1.14mm requirements. The fake and shoddy manufacturers usually buy steel plates with a thickness of 1.0mm consciously and can only guarantee a thickness of 0.97mm after production. The cost of a fire extinguisher may be very low on steel, but there is a large profit in terms of a daily output of around 5,000. Benefits drive some small manufacturers to use unqualified raw materials.

2, check the product logo and packaging

The surface and packaging of regular fire protection products shall have clear and durable signs. The product identification shall include the manufacturer's name, address, name and model, technical coefficient, trademark number, production date and standard code. The appearance signs of counterfeit and inferior fire-fighting products are often fuzzy and rough, incomplete and not durable. Generally, they have no production date, no mark, and rough surface.

3, Internet access product qualification

Before buying, check the product qualification. Buyers can log on to the “China Fire Protection Products Conformity Assessment Center” website to check whether the purchased fire protection products belong to the products filed on the website. At the same time, consumers must confirm the product-related certificates when they purchase and use fire-fighting products, and they can also ask the distributor to provide the supplier's supply certificate for detailed verification.

4, on-site experiment

The on-site experiment is an effective way to ensure the fire-fighting products. For example, the fire-retardant paint can be applied to the wall, and the high-temperature spray gun can be used for on-site testing. The surface foaming of the paint can prove to be a heat-insulating effect and it is a qualified product.

5, check the product material

The surface of the fire product entity shall use non-combustible materials or flame-retardant materials according to the standards. If flammable or flammable materials are used, it can be used as a basis for judging whether it is a counterfeit or inferior product.
