What certifications are generally in place for gas detection equipment?
Gas detector is an instrument that detects the concentration of a certain gas in the environment, widely used in industries such as chemical, metallurgical, underground pipe gallery, power electronics, and medicine, to safeguard the safety production of enterprises. Therefore, when purchasing gas detection equipment, we must choose qualified products that meet national standards. So how can we determine if the equipment is qualified and avoid buying inferior products?
Generally speaking, a qualified gas detection equipment requires national certification. Next, the editor will introduce to you what certifications are required for gas detectors.
1.3C certification
The full name of 3C certification is "Compulsory Certification System", also known as China Compulsory Certification or CCC in English. It is a product qualification assessment system implemented by the Chinese government in accordance with laws and regulations to protect consumer personal safety and national security, strengthen product quality management.
The 3C logo is usually affixed to the surface of the product or pressed onto the product through molding. Upon closer inspection, multiple oval shaped "CCC" markings can be found. After each 3C logo, there is a random code, and each random code has a corresponding manufacturer and product. The Certification Mark Issuance Management Center has entered the product corresponding to the code into the computer database when issuing mandatory product certification marks. Consumers can query the code through the National Quality Certification Center.
It should be noted that the 3C mark is not a quality mark, but only the most basic safety certification. That is to say, this is a mandatory certification by the state, and without this certification, it is not allowed to be sold on the market.
2, Explosion proof certification
Explosion proof certification is a routine test used to determine whether a gas detector meets the requirements of explosion-proof standards, type testing, and adaptation. If it meets the requirements, a corresponding certificate of explosion-proof certification will be issued. When applying for an explosion-proof certificate for a gas detector, many important documents need to be provided, such as the company's certification, quality assurance certificate, technical information, and the sample submitted for the explosion-proof certificate application. Therefore, when choosing a gas detector, we should pay attention to checking whether there is an explosion-proof certificate.
3, License for Manufacturing Measuring Instruments and Qualification Certificate for Installation and Repair of Explosion proof Electrical Equipment
These two certifications are not specific to the gas detector itself, but rather to the manufacturer of the gas detector. When purchasing, we need to ask the manufacturer if they have the certificates for these two certifications. These two certifications determine whether the brand manufacturer can produce, manufacture, repair, and install related gas detector equipment.
4, Inspection report
Finally, regarding the inspection report of the gas detector, it is best to have an inspection report issued by a nationally authoritative metrology department, which includes various parameters, functions, and detailed data of the gas detector, which can help us understand the instrument as quickly as possible.
When choosing a gas detector, we should focus on checking whether the product has these four aspects of certification to avoid buying counterfeit and inferior products, which may cause unnecessary trouble for the production of the enterprise.
