What certifications are generally in place for gas detectors?
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, medicine, etc., to safeguard the safety production of enterprises. Therefore, when choosing gas detection equipment, we must choose qualified products that meet national standards. So how do we determine whether the equipment is qualified and how do we 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.
3C certification
The full name of 3C certification is "Compulsory Product Certification System", with the English name China Compulsory Certification and the English abbreviation CCC. It is a product qualification assessment system implemented by the Chinese government in accordance with laws and regulations to protect the personal and national safety of consumers, strengthen product quality management, and implement it.
The 3C logo is usually affixed to the surface of the product or molded onto it. Upon closer inspection, multiple oval shaped "CCC" symbols can be found. There is a random code after each 3C logo, and each random code has a corresponding manufacturer and product. The Certification Mark Distribution Management Center has entered the corresponding product code into the computer database when issuing mandatory product certification marks, and 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 rather a basic safety certification. That is to say, this is a mandatory certification by the country, and without this certification, it is not allowed to be listed for sale.
Explosion proof certification
Explosion proof certification is used to determine whether gas detectors meet the requirements of explosion-proof standards, type tests, and routine tests. If they meet the requirements, corresponding explosion-proof certification certificates will be issued. When applying for an explosion-proof certificate for a gas detector, it is necessary to provide important information such as enterprise qualification certificate, enterprise quality assurance certificate, technical data, and the sample submitted for applying for an explosion-proof certificate. Therefore, when choosing a gas detector, we should pay attention to checking whether there is an explosion-proof certificate.
License for Manufacturing Measuring Instruments and Qualification Certificate for Installation and Repair of Explosion proof Electrical Equipment
These two certifications are not for the gas detector itself, but for the certification of the manufacturer of the gas detector. When purchasing, we need to ask the manufacturer if they have these two certification certificates. These two certification certificates determine whether the brand manufacturer can produce, manufacture, repair, and install relevant gas detector equipment.
Inspection report
Finally, regarding the inspection report of the gas detector, it is best that this inspection report is issued by a nationally authoritative measuring instrument department. It contains various parameters, functions, and detailed data of this gas detector, which can help us understand this instrument as quickly as possible.
When choosing a gas detector, we should focus on checking whether the product has certification in these four aspects to avoid buying counterfeit and inferior products, which may cause unnecessary trouble for the enterprise's production.
