We know that winter is the season of high incidence of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, lighter than air, and easy to burn. If the carbon monoxide content in the air reaches 0.04%-0.06%, it will cause poisoning.
Once the carbon monoxide value exceeds the standard, it is very harmful to our human body, so we need a carbon monoxide alarm to monitor in real time for us, and add a safety barrier to our home or office.
But how to choose a qualified alarm? The answer is to look at the brand, look at the sensor, look at the certification, look at the service, and look at the insurance.
01 The brand
Well-known brand products are more secure in product development, production and after-sales service than "three-nothing" products. If the reliability of the purchase channel cannot be ensured, it is best to choose well-known brand alarm products.
02 The sensor
As a product related to life safety, you should also pay attention to the sensor used when purchasing an alarm. The sensor is the core component of a carbon monoxide alarm, which directly determines the reliability of the product.
Generally speaking, electrochemical sensors are used in household carbon monoxide alarms, which have high detection accuracy and good stability, and are widely used in the detection of carbon monoxide in commercial and civil fields.
03 The certification
The national standard GB/T34004-2017 "Gas Alarms and Sensors for Household and Small Catering Kitchens" was implemented on June 1, 2018. This standard applies to gas alarms and sensors for household and small catering kitchens for detecting gas leakage and carbon monoxide produced by incomplete combustion of gas, as well as monitoring of gas leakage and carbon monoxide produced by incomplete combustion of gas for household gas burning appliances module.
Before the household carbon monoxide alarm is put on the market, it needs to pass the national CCCF fire certification and obtain the national fire compulsory product certification.
04 The service
Carbon monoxide alarms are easily affected by the external environment during use, resulting in inaccurate detection data. Attention should be paid to the installation and maintenance of the alarm, such as keeping away from smoke and dust during installation, paying attention to moisture-proof, regular cleaning and dust removal, regularly checking whether it is sensitive, avoiding failure, etc. Maintenance personnel should regularly check whether the carbon monoxide sensor is in normal working condition to avoid the occurrence of alarm failure.
05 The insurance
Most carbon monoxide alarms on the market will be marked as covered by XXX insurance, and insurance coverage is also a manifestation of responsibility to consumers, so it can also be used as an option when purchasing an alarm.
