Hardware Spring Industry Calls for International Standards

Although the hardware spring industry is a small industry in the entire manufacturing industry, its role can never be underestimated. The country’s industrial manufacturing and automobile industries must accelerate development, and the spring industry, which is one of the basic components and parts, needs even more of a period of development to adapt to the rapid development of the country’s entire industry. In addition, the expansion of the spring product variety and the improvement of the quality level are also the needs of the replacement of mechanical equipment and the need for improved host performance. Therefore, the development of the entire country's industry, spring products play an important role.

The daily necessities industry and the hardware industry include lighters, toys, locks, door hinges, gym equipment, mattresses, sofas, etc. In terms of quantity, the demand for springs is the largest, with hundreds of billions of pieces. The technical requirements are not high, and the prices are very high. Low, generally produced by small spring plants scattered throughout the country, they have unique advantages in terms of cost, and it is difficult for large spring plants to compete with them. According to Luo Baihui, secretary-general of the International Mould and Hardware and Plastics Industry Suppliers Association, the domestic market has had a strong demand for daily-use hardware products, which has led to the growth of supporting springs. As a result, new spring companies have been born from time to time. In the future, market demand will be met. At an annual rate of 7% to 10%. After China's accession to the WTO, the export volume of daily hardware products has increased significantly, and spring demand has been driven. However, due to the influence of international market demand and trade barriers, the international market has its own uncertainties.

Instruments and electrical appliances market began to recover the typical products of instrumentation and electronic springs such as brush springs, switch springs, camera springs, computer keyboard springs, and instrumentation accessories springs. These types of springs have many leaf springs and guide springs. And the technical requirements vary widely. In the past few years, the domestic instrumentation, electronic and electrical industries were impacted by imported products and were generally sluggish. The spring manufacturers supporting them were weighed down and recovered recently.

The industrial and mineral products market is adjusting the industrial and mineral products market from textile machinery cradle springs to chemical springs, power station switches and hanger springs, bulldozer springs, etc., covering the industrial sectors other than the transportation industry, the material of the products, Technical requirements and technological processes are very different. The demand for springs is directly proportional to the market demand for production materials and the scale of infrastructure projects. The previous years have been affected by the industrial structure. This market has been in an awkward state and has recently picked up. But still did not get rid of the adjustment situation.

The hardware spring company calls for industry standards to be in line with international standards. After years of development, domestically produced springs have undergone qualitative changes in terms of grade and quality. However, with the development of the economy, especially the automobile, power generation, railway transportation, and urban public transportation, etc. The rapid development of the industry, while bringing a huge market for the spring industry, also raises another "difficulty." In the past, in the face of these "conundrums," domestic enterprises can only be expected to "difficult" to sigh. However, after years of efforts, when the spring industry has mastered advanced technology, the problems of raw materials and equipment have become increasingly prominent, resulting in some spring production companies have to import at high prices, therefore, raw materials, production and testing equipment have become constraints on the development of China's spring industry Bottle path. Although after many years of efforts in the metallurgical industry and equipment manufacturing industry, these problems have been alleviated, but at present it is far from meeting the needs of the spring industry, especially some high-end raw materials. In order to completely solve this problem, the Association has focused on the development of this in recent years. Relevant companies, and let these companies as the governing unit of the association, participate in a series of activities such as market research, product development, and quality assurance in the spring industry, and develop simultaneously and jointly.

Since the development of the spring industry, it has gradually entered the competition of the industrial chain from the past price wars and service competition, and the industrial chain has to rely on standardized means. Luo Baihui said that although the current industry's standard system is relatively complete, but because of the early formulation, and there is a considerable distance from the current market demand, many standards today are often just a "name explanation", especially with Japan, Europe, the United States Compared with other developed countries, the current national and industrial standards are still relatively low, resulting in the domestic competitiveness of spring products in the international market is not strong, so as soon as the introduction of new standards in line with the international industry has become the voice of the delegates.
