Since this year, there have been frequent bus fires in China. Apart from arson, the low flame retardant standard of bus interior materials is also an important cause of fire. In response, Zhou Zhengmao, secretary-general of the China Society of Flame Retardant, said that the bus fire only exposed the problem of low standards of flame retardant materials, while the deeper level of flame retardant materials industry supervision and enforcement lax, market chaos is an urgent problem to be solved.
Our country has not paid enough attention to the flame retardancy of public facilities, including bus manufacturing materials. At present, the only standard is the National Standard for Combustion Characteristics of Bicycle Interior Materials (GB8410-2006), which was issued in 2006. It stipulates that the flame retardancy of all automobile interior materials should not exceed 100 mm/min under the relevant test conditions. Its threshold is very low, and some materials can meet the requirements even without any flame retardant.
In addition to low standards, lax supervision is the key to frequent accidents. According to Zhou Zhengmao, the supervision of flame retardant materials includes three links: strict laws and regulations; relevant testing agencies should provide testing reports; and strict supervision and inspection by law enforcement departments. Moreover, the work of the three links should be undertaken by different departments, so that the laws and regulations can be effectively implemented. At present, China is undertaking these three tasks by a single department, which is not strict in law enforcement and weak in supervision. Therefore, he suggested that we should speed up the revision of relevant flame retardant product standards and the establishment of third-party testing institutions, further improve relevant laws and regulations, and strengthen supervision.
