Recently, the European Commission’s non-food rapid warning system (radio) issued a consumer warning on products produced from Chinese hardware and electric tools. Domestic hardware tool manufacturers and exporters should attach great importance to this. Why did China's hardware companies export power tools to the European Union warned? The main reason is the lack of understanding of the European Union's hardware products directives and standards.

Electric tools are the most widely used hardware tools in the society. With the advancement of the times and society, the market for electric tools has been developing rapidly. At the same time, various types of electric tools have caused harm to consumers due to quality problems in various aspects. The requirements of the world's countries for electric tools on their markets are increasingly strict. The European Union has established a special 60745-1 standard for hardware power tools. Its purpose is to establish the specifications of hardware power tools and to regulate the technical specifications of power tools entering the European market so as to reduce or avoid the harm of power tools to consumers. Europe also introduced the Electrical Appliance Certification Act.

All the specifications and series of power tool products exported by relevant companies to the European Union must be certified before the export and passed the EU Electric Appliances Directive. The products that are about to expire should be applied for certification in a timely manner. In addition, within the inspection time of power tools, companies need to do the preparatory work in advance. Enterprises need to accumulate experience in response, and the products involved will be adjusted accordingly according to EU regulations, otherwise they will be eliminated by the market.

The repeated anti-dumping of Chinese hardware from abroad indicates that there are still quality problems in China's hardware industry. It also shows that there is no single standard that will not work for the Chinese hardware industry. Who owns the standard, whoever has the market! Whoever took the lead in participating in the standard will participate in the future! With the continuous deepening of global economic integration, "standards" have become more and more important in the global market competition. Hardware companies need to know and master the laws and standards for the safety of electric tools in importing hardware tools importing countries, such as the latest EU standard for electric tools; enterprise product design and quality management personnel should be familiar with and understand the standards, when developing and designing products, Not only must consider the product's shape and function, but also must pay attention to the safety performance of the product according to the inspection standards of the country. The product designed only meets the inspection standards of the exporting country, and the product has market value. Luo Baihui believes that the current hardware industry entry threshold is low, the hardware company's standards are not perfect, some hardware products lack the definition of standards, quality levels are uneven, mixed. Some consumers understand the product is so-so, and even less understanding of the industry's standards, whether it is hardware or hardware, hardware industry lacks a unified standard, so the hardware industry has been in the state of the standard is not perfect . Luo Baihui pointed out that there are many types of hardware products, and they are very new and fast. It is still a long way to go to establish a standard hardware standard. Leading companies in the hardware industry are needed to do such a thing. And need to set up a special hardware standards review agency. Only then can it become a system.

From the above analysis, it is illustrated that the hardware industry lacks uniform standards. Under the fierce competition at home and abroad, it is necessary to establish a standards institution of its own, and leading hardware companies take the lead in this matter to ensure that the hardware industry is in an orderly and healthy manner. development of.
