Viral Product Test Exposed: Are Formaldehyde Detectors and Test Kits Bought Online Reliable?

Are viral formaldehyde detectors reliable? Nowadays people have higher and higher demands for quality of life, and people also pay close attention to indoor formaldehyde, so many viral formaldehyde detectors have appeared online? Their prices are much lower than regular ones. But are they really reliable? The market regulation department of Shanghai recently announced the risk monitoring results for viral “formaldehyde detector” products, and the results were shocking.

The results showed that not a single batch of “formaldehyde detector” products had indication errors that met technical requirements, and not a single batch of “formaldehyde detector” met the repeatability requirements under the set testing environment conditions. In response, an expert from the Shanghai Institute of Measurement and Testing Technology said: if the public buys this product and takes it home, wanting to test their own (formaldehyde) air quality, the data itself is unreliable. The cost of formal formaldehyde testing is too high. Formaldehyde is a process of continuous release. Frequent testing costs too much. So these cheap devices have found a market.

Netizens said: I mean online shopping products, many of them are unlicensed products, shouldn't supervision be strengthened? Why are such products allowed to flow out and be sold, why are there factories producing them, imitating fake certificates, can ordinary people tell? I just looked at Tmall and JD.com, all kinds of formaldehyde testers are still on sale, they are only exposed, but no one manages it, unscrupulous companies have no fear! May I ask, how are ordinary people supposed to feel at ease, when they truly need testing but cannot find an authoritative institution!
