On the morning of November 5, 2024, Zhengxin Testing and Certification Services (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd. held a technical exchange meeting on the latest version of EU heating standard EN26 at Hilton Hotel in Shunde, Foshan, aiming to promote technical exchanges within the industry and explore how to export heating products to EU countries in compliance with regulations. Our technical directors Zhu Yunguang and Lian Jialu attended the exchange meeting together.

Technical Director Mr. Zhu Yunguang said that at the exchange meeting, everyone fully understood the specific content of the EN26 standard and also deeply understood the importance of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive for upgrading. The meeting also discussed RoHS testing and its exemption clauses, provided detailed information on household gas instantaneous water heaters, and further deepened the participants’ understanding and application of relevant standards.

This exchange meeting mainly focused on three aspects: on the one hand, it analyzed the framework requirements of the EU EN26 standard, EU regulations, the relationship between coordinated standards and national legislation of member states. It also analyzed the role of market regulators, recall mechanisms and recall cases. On the other hand, it briefly introduced the recall of the Energy Efficiency Directive and the 2024/1781 Ecodesign Directive that replaced it. Topics such as product digitalization and carbon verification aroused the interest of R&D and marketing personnel attending the meeting.

 

Finally, the impact of the restricted substances and exemptions of the RoHS 2.0 directive on product design was described in detail. Examples of RoHS test-unqualified parts helped participants better understand environmental protection requirements.

 

At the meeting, everyone also conducted in-depth interpretation and exchanges on various types of household gas water heaters to ensure that the products meet high-standard quality specifications and deepened their study of the EN26 standard. At the end of the meeting, everyone also established a face-to-face group, which provided a strong guarantee for more extensive, in-depth and continuous technical exchanges in the future. Through the technical learning and exchanges of the latest version of EU heating, everyone is more familiar with and understands the standards and certifications of EU heating products, and strives to export heating products to EU countries in a better, more effective and more compliant manner.

 

Recently, an exciting “National Fire Fighting, Life First” fire fighting skills competition was launched in the central park of Nantou Town. The event was carefully prepared and organized by the People’s Government of Nantou Town, Zhongshan City. A total of 75 teams and 300 contestants from enterprises and key units above designated size in the town participated in the event. The purpose was to enhance the public’s awareness of fire safety and improve the emergency response capabilities to deal with fires through actual combat exercises.

From November 18 to 22, our company solemnly sent four powerful warriors, Liang Shunpeng, Xue Shijie, Lu Xingjian and Zheng Shuyou, to represent Hengle Electric to attend the competition. The fire fighting business skills competition items are: women’s sack fire fighting exercises, men’s LPG fire fighting exercises, and men’s indoor fire hydrant water discharge exercises. During the competition, our four contestants carried out emergency response in a tense and orderly manner. They responded promptly, cooperated well in the team, and had superb skills in dealing with emergencies. Each action showed a full atmosphere of tension and practical charm. The four contestants fully carried forward the spirit of competition that was not afraid of hardship and fatigue, and demonstrated their good mental outlook and united combat capabilities.

 

This skills competition not only demonstrated our company’s emphasis on production safety and emergency management, but also conveyed to the public the fire safety awareness of “firefighting for all, life first”. It not only demonstrated the excellent fire emergency skills of the participating members, but also provided a platform for the participating teams to exchange skills, promote exchanges, and improve together. Fire safety is everyone’s responsibility. By promoting training through competition, we can truly make safety emergency skills cover all employees.

Through this event, our company deeply conveyed the importance of fire safety to everyone, and actively advocated everyone to participate in the practice of fire safety to jointly create a safe and harmonious working and living environment. In addition, our company will continue to attach great importance to fire safety work, fulfill the main responsibility of fire safety, and resolutely build a solid fire safety barrier for the enterprise.

Wang Haoze was born in Luanping County, Hebei Province in 1990. His mother is a middle school teacher. His mother dropped out of school when she was young due to poverty, but she still squeezed out time to study by herself while doing farm work. She was eventually admitted to a normal school and became a teacher, which completely changed her fate. Her mother’s words and deeds guided the young Wang Haoze that she must work harder to succeed; her parents instilled in her since she was a child: there is nothing that girls can’t do! With this extraordinary tenacity, she studied on New Year’s Eve, and her academic performance was always among the best. She was admitted to Southeast University’s Thermal Energy and Power Engineering major in the college entrance examination; during college, Wang Haoze’s grades remained at the forefront of the grade, and she won honorary awards such as national scholarships, and was successfully recommended to the engineering thermal physics major of the school to pursue a master’s degree. She likes running, and often represented the school in provincial sports games when she was in college. The persistence in exercise during her student days laid a good physical foundation for an astronaut.

She dares to challenge unknown areas and enjoys the sense of accomplishment from nothing to something. Her undergraduate major is thermal energy and power engineering. As a graduate student, she focused on plasma detonation. After graduation, she worked on rocket engine pre-research. Now she has become a space flight engineer… Over the years, Wang Haoze has been constantly involved in new fields. When she was a graduate student, Wang Haoze’s research topic was a brand new field that she had never been involved in. Once, the topic assigned to her by her tutor was particularly difficult, and she couldn’t help complaining: “I may not necessarily engage in scientific research in the future, why should I put in so much effort?” The tutor answered very seriously: “I don’t expect you to do scientific research in the future, but you have to keep the habit of doing things seriously. If you don’t do it seriously now because you don’t like it, when you encounter something you like in the future, you may not have the habit of doing things seriously.” Every word of the tutor’s words is of great importance, engraved in Wang Haoze’s heart, and it has become her criterion for doing things in the future.

Wang Haoze’s connection with aerospace is also due to her mentor’s strong interest in aerospace. After graduation, she worked in the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, engaged in rocket engine pre-research. For her, researching new engines is a process of starting from scratch and building something from nothing. As a system overall designer, she studies the design principles of each subsystem. Complex equations, mysterious parameters, and mysterious operation logic have become the objects of her exploration and research. She enjoys the process of conquering the unknown.
