Production fraud, inspection qualification fraud, and random inspection fraud, CCTV 315 exposed the black production chain of fake fireproof glass in 2024

The CCTV 315 Party on March 15th exposed a series of problems, including "mainboards used to manufacture trolls," "fireproof glass that does not meet fireproof standards," and "fire extinguishers that cut corners." This site will continue to pay attention to this incident and provide you with the latest reports.

According to the national mandatory standard "Building Design Fire Protection Code", every room with a building height exceeding 54 meters must be configured to provide at least Fire rated windows with 1 hour fire resistance integrity.

If the fireproof glass installed is not up to standard, once a fire breaks out in a high-rise building, the consequences will be disastrous.

At the end of December 2023, CCTV reporters received reports from the masses saying that in some markets selling fire-resistant glass in Tianjin and Hebei, the quality of products produced by individual companies was substandard.

The reporter went to a company in Tianjin that specializes in the production of fire-proof glass for an on-site visit. However, on the production line, the reporter did not observe the steps of spraying fire-proof liquid and drying the glass.

After being questioned by reporters many times, a worker revealed that the fireproof glass used on the factory production line is actually just ordinary tempered glass and has not undergone any fireproof treatment. He added: "They just asked for some markings on the surface to decorate the facade."

In fact, not only Tianjin, but also a fire-resistant glass manufacturer somewhere in Hebei is also doing the same fraud. Some staff even said that they can provide customers with corresponding qualified inspection reports, "My inspection report is (fire-resistant) for one and a half hours, but in fact my glass can only be (fire-resistant) for half an hour."

Informed sources revealed that some glass companies may submit their products for inspection on their own so that they can prepare expensive fire-resistant glass that meets standards to pass the inspection. In fact, they may use low-quality materials to produce products and pretend to be in compliance with standards. Required products are submitted for inspection to obtain false conformity reports. This behavior allows them to sell defective products by any means necessary and harm the rights and interests of consumers.

So, what is the difference in fire performance between fake and shoddy fire-resistant glass and real fire-resistant glass? Staff from the National Consumer Products Inspection Center found that fireproof glass samples produced by counterfeit companies deformed and cracked in less than 4 minutes at high temperatures.
