Guangzhou people prefer pure imported appliances
Appliance stores in Guangzhou, the number of foreign counter appliance brands, the reporter found, although the number of foreign brands, but not necessarily net imports are, in fact, most of domestic production joint ventures, both have small appliances large household appliances. Assembly of imported home appliances and domestic prices vary greatly.

Salesperson explains that, even so, many people still willing to choose pure Guangzhou imports.
What is the reason
makes domestic origin of products and are so much different? In the recently held in Guangzhou, "electrical and electronic industry, the opportunities and challenges," the seminar, China Quality Management Association, the expert gives the answer: In addition to tariffs, the implementation of the standard height is also an important factor. In the face of tougher competition, China's household electrical appliance enterprises need more attention to the implementation of international standards.
More conducive to international standards for consumer protection
On international standards, maybe you only heard "RoHS" ("in the electrical and electronic equipment in the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive"), this was implemented in July 2007 the EU directive on environmental technical barriers are for many domestic appliances business a big headache and, in fact, there are numerous international standards there are many, such as European CE, German GS, Japan, PSE, South Korea's EK-Mark, the British BEAB, SPRING Singapore, etc. . This series of standards are for the safety of imported products made mandatory. For example, CE is mandatory EU safety approval mark unique, committed to ensuring the safety and health of users. GS certification to the German Product Safety Act (SGS) as the basis, that the use of the safety of the product has passed the test the credibility of an independent body.
According to industry sources, on the appliance of international standards, with our "Three C certification" of the content is a lot different. China's "three C certification," mainly for the prevention of human shock, to prevent excessive temperature rise to prevent mechanical damage, prevent poisonous gas hazards, to prevent radiation-induced damage and so on, but the inspection report of the authority at home and abroad is not strong, exports to China can not form an effective technical support. In fact, many international standards, in particular the relevant provisions of the more developed countries more detailed, for the protection of consumer interests, improve product quality and safety performance, a very good. Take the RoHS directive, although the company does not want to export barriers encountered such a directive, but it is the materials used in the environmental performance of appliances put forward higher requirements, protect consumers from harm when using electrical appliances.
Domestic enterprises should also improve the standard
