2013 heat radiator with low pass rate

69.6%. This is the national supervision and inspection pass rate of 2013 heat radiator (hereinafter referred to as radiator) announced by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China in recent days, which has reached a new low in recent years. In the fourth quarter of this year, a total of 79 batches of radiator products produced by 79 companies across the country were spot-checked, including one company refusing inspection. 23 batches of products were found to be inconsistent with the standards, and the overall pass rate was less than 70%.

From 2009 to 2012, the nationwide supervision and spot checks of radiators showed that the product qualification rate was basically stable at around 80%. However, this year's rapid decline to 69.9%, the quality of enterprise products is worrying. Industry analysts pointed out that a big reason is that, in the face of market conditions, many companies have transformed into other products, not "heart" spent on the radiator, the quality of "heat" attenuation. In addition, the stability of small enterprises is not high enough, dragging the "back foot" of overall quality standards.

Overall quality level "lowest"

"The overall quality level is 'lowest'." This phrase can be used to describe the situation of the country's pumping this year. The typical representative is the qualified rate of large-scale enterprise products, which is the lowest in history. It is understood that in 1994 began to implement national supervision and spot checks of radiators, during which four times of national supervision and spot checks, a total of 409 batches of product inspections. Over 8 billion radiators have exceeded 200 million in output value this year. Although the company has developed, the rate of qualified products has dropped. The qualified rate of large-scale enterprises in 2013 was 70.8%, which was 22.5% lower than that in 2012.

“The industry is more difficult, the industry is sluggish, and the quality is somewhat relaxed.” Li Zhong, director of the Radiator Inspection Department of the National Air Conditioning Equipment Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, said that multiple factors including the sense of quality of the company led to qualified data for this year's radiator inspection data. The rate has fallen significantly.

The analysis of Qi Jiahui, deputy director of the National Radiator Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, is almost exactly the same. She believes that due to the imbalance in the supply and demand market, resulting in large output, low demand, market competition is relatively confusing, companies have converted to production, the transition to other products did not "thinking" to radiator products, long-term slack caused the product quality Regardless of the phenomenon. Taking large enterprises as examples, the large-scale enterprises that have been spot-checked every year think that they have qualified for the past few years. This year, they are certainly qualified, resulting in slack in product quality requirements.

SMEs make people worry

Compared to large-scale companies that have passed the “sweeping” sampling rate, the passing rate of small-sized enterprises is still not optimistic. According to statistics, the qualified rate of spot checks for radiators of medium-sized enterprises this year was 89.5%, and small enterprises were only 58.3%.

“It is worrying.” Song Weimin, director of the Heating Radiator Committee of the China Construction Metal Structure Association, uses the terms to describe the quality of radiators produced by SMEs.

Xiao Wei, a professor at the School of Architecture at Tsinghua University who has been paying attention to the radiator industry for many years, told reporters that there are about 2,000 radiator manufacturers in China, most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises. “If you plan to go to manufacturers with a production value of over 100 million, small manufacturers can account for 80%.” Because of the low barriers to entry, many companies with only simple processing capabilities have entered the radiator production industry, and have a great impact on product quality and market competition. Big.

According to another source, this year's quality of radiators has also increased the number of sampling inspections conducted by small companies. This is because local industry associations are making great efforts to improve their quality, including issuing quality proposals, advocating honest business operations, and producing according to standards. Next year, inspections in this area may be further strengthened to expand the scope of inspections.

"The problem is mainly in small businesses." Xiao Xiao said that compared to large-scale enterprises, it is difficult for small-scale enterprises to achieve streamline mechanized production and stable process flow, and it is easy to produce inferior and inferior products. Taking the sampling precision index of threaded inspection as an example, this year's radiator sampling inspection, 23 batches of non-compliance, there are 11 batches involving thread precision, the failure rate ranks high on the index of the top indicators, reflecting the problem of production failure. "The company itself is very small. Even if the product itself is not equipped with an interface thread gauge, it cannot be inspected before leaving the factory. The quality of the product is highly hidden. At present, problems with thread accuracy are generally small businesses."

Another manifestation of the “heat” instability of small business quality is that the technical indicators of heat dissipation fluctuations are large, often chasing profits “run around”, product types often change, this year to do this product, next year that profit is good, run to that Products, causing the main indicators of product quality is very unstable.

Industry cluster development is a trend

According to industry estimates, according to the urbanization rate of 1% per year, there will be more than 10 million people will be converted into urban population each year, and the new building demand will be several hundred million square meters. Therefore, in the next 10 years, China will maintain annual The amount of 2 billion square meters of construction projects will bring about a huge market increase for the radiator industry.

However, it should not be overlooked that due to the impact of other heating methods, many radiator companies have a bottleneck in their development, especially in the face of the high proportion of SMEs and the low level of industry development.

According to Song Weimin, if companies want to further develop, they must speed up the strategy of differentiated roads. Large enterprises should move toward large-scale operations, and small and medium-sized enterprises should adopt distinctive operations. It is recommended that SMEs strengthen cooperation, take the road of industrial cluster development, and jointly pursue the maximization of overall interests, form an industrial cluster driven by “leading” enterprises, and form an industrial chain extension to enhance competitiveness.

Coincidentally, Li Zhong believes that the current development level of the radiator industry is increasing, and it is urgent to increase the level of industrial production and manufacturing, and take the path of clustering and large-scale development. "The amount to do, we must eliminate backward production capacity, so that large companies occupy a larger market share."
