Standards for the introduction of washing machine parts, the pressure of production costs surged

The washing machine industry will be more formalized. On July 1, two industrial standards for washing machine parts approved and released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have been formally implemented. These two standards were jointly formulated by the China Household Electrical Appliances Research Institute and leading industry companies. On the one hand, standardization and standardization of the main and special components of washing machines were achieved. On the other hand, they were also intended to increase industry entry barriers. .

The two newly introduced standards are "Technical Requirements for Washing Machine Drainage Pumps" and "Technical Conditions for Washing Machine Inlet Valves". It is understood that the inlet valve and the drainage pump are the main and special parts of the washing machine and are closely related to the water inlet, drainage and work performance of the washing machine. In order to form a standardized industry standard, the Working Group for Drafting Standards for Washing Machine Inlet Valves and Technical Requirements for Washing Machine Drainage Pumps was established in early April 2010 and officially established on December 31, 2011 by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The two industry standards for washing machine parts have been approved. "Technical Conditions for Washing Machine Inlet Valves" and "Technical Requirements for Washing Machine Drainage Pumps" specified the definitions, classifications, technical requirements and test methods for the inlet valves and drain pumps of washing machines.

According to experts, the former formulation of the washing machine focused more on the whole machine, and there was no uniform standard for parts and components. Parts companies all produced according to their own corporate standards, but the whole machine company had its own requirements. In this process, the whole machine The disputes between parts and components companies often occur because of the specification of parts and components. The implementation of these two standards will provide necessary guidelines for resolving these conflicts and disputes. Lu Jianguo, secretary general of the National Household Electrical Appliances Standardization Technical Committee's Cleaning Appliances Technical Committee, said that the introduction of the standard is intended to standardize the production of parts and components companies through a unified method.

Lu Jianguo also stressed that the development of these two parts and components standards is not designed to set the industry threshold, but the two standards are developed by the China Household Electrical Appliances Research Institute jointly with industry leading enterprises such as Wuxi Little Swan Co., Ltd. The industry generally believes that the purpose of the Institute is to regulate, and for leading companies such as Little Swan do have the meaning of clearing the portal.

It is understood that since 2010, the profits of the black power industry have gradually become thinner, and Skyworth, Konka and other companies have extended their reach into the field of white electricity. This kind of washing machine products produced by OEM has started to be on the market. Due to the low cost, such products are Many regional markets are sought after, seriously eroding the market of mainstream companies. Therefore, mainstream companies have started to establish industry standards. After the standards are implemented, the cost of some small-scale products will increase, and the competitiveness will be far lower than before. Leading companies will defend this position through this move.
