Universal outlet "delisting" hardware store is still selling

Starting from June, the socket will also implement the "new national standard", and the most commonly used universal sockets (commonly known as universal sockets) in residential homes are officially banned from sale. However, when the reporter recently visited a number of hardware stores and building materials stores, he found that the banned multi-hole sockets still appeared on the shelves in the store.

In addition, many citizens have not heard of the "new national standard" of sockets. Why are universal outlets banned? The reporter recently conducted an investigation.

News background

Universal sockets are banned from this month

The reporter learned from the municipal quality inspection department that the "new national standard for sockets" issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Standardization Administration of the People's Republic of China stipulates that from June 1, sales of universal hole power converters commonly used in office homes will be prohibited.

What is a universal socket? In layman's terms, it is a large hole socket, whether it is flat, round, two-end or triangular plug, can be used on this socket.

It is understood that the socket products used by residents in daily life are basically large universal jack products.

Reporter investigation

Merchants: Universal sockets account for "half of the country"

Recently, the reporter came to a hardware store on Dieshan Road and found that the store was filled with various sockets. As a buyer, the reporter consulted the shop assistant about the universal socket. The clerk told reporters that half of the outlets they entered were universal sockets.

According to the new standard, the production standard for product packaging should be GB2099.3-2008, and the production standard for product packaging in many stores is GB2099.3-1997.

Later, the reporter went to the building materials market and visited three hardware stores one after another, and found that universal sockets accounted for more than half of socket products. "Sale of universal sockets is prohibited?" Regarding this statement, the salesman of Manulife Hardware Store said that he had not received the notice of ban.

Citizen: I wonder if there are new standards for sockets

"Can't the universal socket work?" Afterwards, the reporter interviewed ten citizens at random, but they all said they had never heard of this statement. Citizen Mr. Zhou expressed confusion about this regulation, "The home uses universal sockets, why can't they be used now?"

Regarding Mr. Zhou's doubts, the public Chen Li speculated that the relevant departments may be out of safety considerations. "Any plug can be used in a universal socket, and the jack is relatively large, which is indeed a bit dangerous."

Behind the ban

The universal socket is easy to leak and there are many hidden dangers

Are universal sockets more dangerous than other sockets? This reporter interviewed Fan Xiaogang, a home appliance repairman.

He told reporters that the jack of the universal socket is relatively large, and it is easy for children to touch the electric shock. In addition, because the jack is large, the plug is often not strong, which is prone to leakage.

"I get fans, air conditioners, TV sets and other home appliances that are repaired in the store every year, and there are many cases of burnout caused by sockets."

According to quality inspection experts, the country bans the sale of universal sockets, mainly because of its safety. Because of the design of the universal socket, no matter what kind of plug can be used, it will inevitably make the jack larger, and it is easy to loosen in use and cause leakage and other accidents.

40% of fires are caused by sockets

The reporter learned from the city's fire department that although the fire department did not have detailed statistics on the fires caused by the city's outlets, according to the "China Household Electricity Environment Survey Report" released by the China Consumers Association last year: more than 76% of urban household electricity environments There are security risks. Among them, fire accidents caused by sockets account for more than 40% of the total accidents. Socket safety has become one of the most important, but most easily overlooked "soft spots" in household electricity use.
