A total of 15 products from 8 brands were sampled. Check. After inspection, 13 of them have air-conditioners with formaldehyde removal function, and the formaldehyde purification efficiency does not meet the relevant standards. The failure rate is 100%.

With the deepening of the concept of green environmental protection, various household appliances with air purification functions have entered the market one after another, especially air conditioners with antibacterial, sterilization and air purification functions, which are favored by consumers. In order to regulate the production and operation of such household air conditioners, the National Standards Committee issued and implemented the special requirements of GB 21551.6-2010 "Antibacterial, sterilization and purification functional air conditioners for household and similar electrical appliances" in 2011.

There are many antibacterial purification air conditioner products on the market that attempt to mislead consumers through hype concepts and exaggerated product efficacy. At the beginning of this year, the corps listed air purification products as one of the key rectification industries in this year, and continued to carry out a five-month law enforcement inspection. A total of 14 major brands in the city were sold with formaldehyde-removing air-conditioning products. The sample was sent for inspection, and the results of the 14 batches of products did not fully meet the requirements of the formaldehyde purification efficiency index in the GB 21551.6-2010 standard.
