The basic factors that hinder the development of China's cable

In recent years, the phenomenon of unqualified cable product quality has been found everywhere, and the situation of counterfeit and shoddy products has not been fundamentally improved. Currently, the majority of domestic small and medium-sized cable companies have produced substandard products. It is disturbing that the products flow smoothly to the market and enter the construction and other economic construction.

Since 2011, China's outstanding performance with an annual output value of over RMB 1 trillion has not only become the number one wire and cable producer in the world, but also laid the foundation for the wire and cable industry in the electrical and electronics industry, ranking second only to the automotive industry. However, behind these rings, it still fails to change the status of China's wire and cable industry, which is "big but not strong, big and chaotic." Non-standard products are flying all over the world and have become the fundamental factor hindering the development of China's wire and cable industry.

Because of non-standard products and shoddy products, China's wire and cable manufacturers have missed opportunities in major projects, and even some major projects, such as the relatively high requirements for cable products, but the profits are also relatively rich projects, talking about the performance of domestic cable products exaggeration. However, no matter whether domestic cable products are as terrible as their description, it is clear that the impression of poor domestic quality has been left behind, and once this impression is left, it will be difficult to change in the short-term, but in the short- Trust is even more difficult.

Therefore, we have seen that even if the domestic cable manufacturers take the qualified products to look for the project unit, there are also fears of avoiding the phenomenon. What is most puzzling is that the domestic cable product prices are much lower than imported products. Even in the case of quality synchronization, some procurement units would rather spend high prices on imported products and would not dare to try to use domestic products (and Low price) products.

In addition, some of China's regular cable manufacturers have produced qualified products. High-end projects cannot be used, and low-end projects cannot afford them. This creates a situation where the “high and low prices are not high”. It is also worth mentioning that the low-end projects cannot be used. For example, some domestic small projects and even construction projects have chosen the cheapest cable products. Therefore, they are not concerned about whether the quality of the products passes, but how the prices are. The lower the price, the more popular it is.

Another major problem that hindered the quality of domestic cable products is the lack of supervision by the quality supervision department, or even the inaction, the need to eat cards, etc. In recent years, the quality inspection center has been developing everywhere. Beijing, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and other places have already built or have already established a quality inspection center. However, so many wire and cable quality inspection centers, but can not verify the cable Product quality issues, which can not help but doubt its business capabilities or work attitude.

The product inspection report of the authoritative inspection agency bears the consumer's trust in this institution, not just the emotional report. The quality inspection center should be a measuring scale for the quality of products. The ultimate goal is to use qualified products for every consumer. When they took over as the supervisors of the “big and strong” road for the Chinese wire and cable industry, why? There are many quality inspection centers, but the market is even more chaotic. From the phenomenon of “copper clad aluminum” to the recent spot checks, the rate of disqualification has increased, and various phenomena indicate that the wire and cable industry is “chaotic” and the industry reorganization is urgently needed.

In the cable industry, one inspection varies according to the scope of inspection (dozens of inspections are completed), the price is about several thousand, tens of thousands, and even more than ten million, and the testing organizations are divided into national testing agencies and local testing agencies. Countless homes. In order to allow more companies to inspect, some testing organizations will “customize” inspection reports for qualified companies, leading to the use of quality inspections. Moreover, at present, most of the inspections are sent by companies, and there is usually a huge gap between the inspection of products and the production of products.

"From the perspective of legal supervision, enterprises often fail to observe the penalties for product quality control and are not transparent. Some enterprises are the ones that the local government pays more attention to. Problems that arise are often resolved by the local government, and many times through fines. This means that the solution lacks market transparency and the cost of illegal activities is relatively low, said Wu Shimin, deputy secretary-general of the Electric Wire and Cable Branch of the China Electrical Equipment Industry Association.

It is understood that at present, there are no less than 100 wire and cable testing agencies in Shenzhen, and only dozens of them are truly authorized by the law. It is reasonable to say that inspection agencies usually conduct comprehensive inspections of wire and cable products in accordance with relevant national standards. Once a product is found to be unqualified in the inspection process, duplicate samples will be taken from the batch to duplicate unqualified items. Inspection, if still unqualified, will ask to stop the product from entering the factory. But it is very puzzling is that there are many unqualified products passed the test smoothly, and eventually flowed to the market.

In an interview, the reporter found that the unspoken rules of the staff of some testing agencies “follow the need to eat and take cards” has become an open “secret” for the wire and cable industry. Some illegal and non-compliance quality inspection units have always recognized the money and confessed that they did not recognize it. The product, before any benefits are received, automatically becomes a "non-conforming product" for any product arriving here. It is precisely because the testing agencies in the current market are mixed, leading many companies to use all kinds of means to obtain “passes” for that product's test report. The phenomenon of sending money and giving gifts is quite common. For this reason, some cable manufacturers are also very helpless, because the industry is generally the case, do not comply with industry practices, it is difficult to survive in the industry, because the product can not go out of the factory, into the market.

In recent years, the domestic wire and cable industry has developed rapidly. Despite the fact that the economic growth in China has slowed down in the past two years, the cable industry has been affected. However, it has not changed the phenomenon of low-price competition and low-quality competition in the industry, and even intensified some domestic cables. Manufacturers competed at low prices and occupied the market.

The current media reports have been cumbersome to report that sampling results in a certain area are not satisfactory, that a company's wire and cable products are not qualified, and that a certain brand is also on the blacklist of quality inspections... For this phenomenon, it is urgently necessary for the cable industry to have a correct understanding. Because such reports will continue to reinforce the prejudice of high-end projects for domestic cable products, it is difficult for consumers to purchase and adopt them with confidence. In terms of low-end engineering, formal enterprises and qualified products are not concerned with, or even squeezed by low-end products (price wars). Then how should the normal cable manufacturers survive? How should the related quality supervision department take necessary? The means to take the correct attitude towards work, strictly control the cable products, and protect the legitimate interests of the formal enterprises? For this, I do not want to go into details.
