In our daily lives, we often use glass cookware, heat-resistant glass tableware, and cookware. However, because there is no uniform quality standard in our country, irregular behaviors such as using ordinary soda-lime glass to pretend to be heat-resistant glass have appeared in the market, which may even cause personal injury. Occurred from time to time, seriously damaging the interests of consumers.

Almost all home cabinets have glassware of different shapes and sizes. Many people use these glassware in microwave ovens, ovens, or directly heat them. Therefore, incidents of explosion and injury from utensils occur from time to time. The China Consumers Association introduced a number of incidents that caused injuries due to explosions using so-called heat-resistant glassware. We have found that with the changes in dietary structure and cooking methods, glass cookware has increasingly entered consumers' home lives. Many glass cookware are not suitable for use in high-temperature environments such as microwave ovens and ovens. If used, they will burst and cause harm to users. Our Consumer Association held this exchange meeting to listen to the opinions of experts so that we can download Take a step-by-step warning to consumers.

At present, there are many types of glassware on the market. The more common ones are those marked with the words "tempered heat-resistant glass". The so-called tempered glass is soda-lime glass that is formed by air cooling, ion exchange and other methods to make the mechanical strength and Tempered glass with improved thermal shock strength is actually not heat-resistant glass in essence. Therefore, the China Consumers Association advises consumers not to put tempered glassware in a microwave or oven for use. The first is to clarify whether it can be used in a high temperature environment, and the second is to ensure the quality. The quality of some products is uneven, which will also cause harm to consumers.

One is to decide what glass you want to use according to the environment in which it is used. As long as it is greater than 100 degrees, I recommend using boron glass as much as possible, because tempered glass has a problem of self-explosion. The second is that the relevant standards have not been used for certification, and certification of such products will be carried out in the future.

It is understood that, in order to protect the personal safety and vital interests of consumers, the China Daily Glass Association refers to the successful practices of foreign countries and implements the labeling of heat-resistant glass products in my country. It has formulated relevant management measures and hopes to adopt The implementation of these measures can fill the relevant gaps and protect the rights and interests of consumers.
