As in previous years, towards the end of the year, fires and explosions have increased, many of which have caused great damage to people and property, causing many people to worry. The cause of these fires is mostly from electrical equipment and lighting products.
The closer to the end of the year, the more worried about fire.
According to the General Statistics Office, by the end of September 2019, there were 2,959 fire and explosion incidents nationwide, killing 76 people, injuring 126 people, and causing property damage of more than VND 1,057 billion. It is worth noting that the number of fire and explosion incidents has increased towards the end of the year, with 1,048 incidents in the third quarter of 2019 alone. Although there are no exact statistics, recent fires have shown a worrying level of cause and consequences.
According to industry experts, in addition to the objective cause of the dry weather at the end of the year, one of the main causes of fire and explosion incidents comes from people's carelessness in installing and using electrical equipment. Many households have arbitrarily hooked up additional power-consuming devices beyond the original design, such as installing air conditioners, refrigerators, etc. and connecting electrical wires arbitrarily to the power lines. In addition, old electrical equipment that has been aging and not checked and replaced in time also leads to overloaded lines, short circuits and fires.
More peace of mind with quality electrical equipment
Regarding the quality of electrical equipment, according to regulations, all electrical and electronic equipment (subject to the regulation of national technical regulations) must be assessed for conformity in product quality through testing, conformity certification, etc. Testing electrical products helps improve the safety of electrical equipment, helps users understand the characteristics of each device, and prevents fire and explosion incidents caused by electrical equipment. Currently, there are very few companies investing in research, development and testing according to national standards. In which, Joint Stock Company Electric Light Bulb is one of the few companies investing in a testing laboratory system that meets international standards ISO IEC 17025 to help control product quality from input materials to finished products on the market, ensuring products are safe and highly fireproof. In addition, the testing room is capable of testing electromagnetic compatibility of products. Accordingly, special equipment simulates harsh environments to test product durability such as high and low temperature environments, high humidity, salt fog, fire resistance, water resistance, UV aging, etc.
In addition, all LED products of Dien Quang use fire-resistant plastic and use heat-resistant plastic for electrical equipment products. With a brand of more than 45 years, an expert in the field of lighting and electrical equipment, this enterprise is also committed to ensuring fire safety for products under the Dien Quang brand.
One of the effective measures to protect your family and property from electrical fire and explosion risks, especially at the end of the year, is to control the safety level of electrical equipment. Households need to replace electrical equipment if necessary, and should pay due attention to the quality of electrical equipment, paying attention to factors that help improve product safety.
