On the path to a healthy life, anti-bacterial products have become good for many consumers. However, the perception that antibacterial tests abroad are more stringent and accurate than those in the country is widely believed, and the choice is blindly followed by the import of antibacterial products. But this is an area of error that needs urgent clarification.
It is undeniable that some developed countries have gained a wealth of experience at an early stage in research and development and standard-setting for antibacterial technologies. A number of internationally recognized testing institutions have developed sophisticated and sophisticated detection processes based on the deposition of sophisticated equipment and heavy technology. Using the European and American standards for food-specific antibacterial products, for example, in the detection of bacterial species, in addition to the common coliform and golden grapes, special strains such as Lesterella, which are readily present in local food-processing environments, are well considered; in the experimental simulation of environmental construction, the multiple scenarios from food storage to processing are strictly simulated to accurately assess antibacterial effects.
But this in no way means that domestic standards are inferior. In-country antibacterial testing standards have been progressively developed, taking full advantage of international experience and in close alignment with national circumstances and actual needs. On the one hand, the standard coverage is broad, taking into account the country ‘ s large consumer population and diverse geographical environment. There are norms of conformity, from routine home-based antibacterial products in cold and dry areas of the north to industrial and medical antibacterial products frequently used in wet and hot conditions of the south; on the other hand, domestic standards are tight in key areas of human life, such as mother-and-child products and antibacterial requirements for public health facilities, and focus on safeguarding vulnerable groups and public health and establishing a firm line of defence for people ‘ s lives.
The scientific aspects of specific methods of detection are equally bright in the country. In the case of antibacterial testing of textiles, for example, our standards not only provide for static antibacterial measurements, but also innovatively introduce tests for dynamic simulations of actual use such as human sweating, friction, etc., as textiles experience frequent mechanical frictions, sweating insulation in their daily clothes, which affect the persistence of antibacterials. This “activated combination” test model is more appropriate for real use than the standards of a purely static environment in some foreign countries and accurately reflects the product’s antibacterial capacity.
In reality, the risk of “more favourable foreign standards” is not insignificant. Some bad traders use it to raise the price of imported products, and consumers spend heavy money on high-value products that do not necessarily match the domestic environment. Some of the antibacterial cookers that come from the sea are designed to be tested in the kitchens of the country, with the impact of heavy oil and high-temperature cooking habits in the country, and are inconvenient because of their size and materials that do not match the domestic mix. Moreover, superstitious foreign standards hinder the development of high-quality antibacterial enterprises in some of the countries, markets are squeezed by imported products, and incentives for R & D inputs are discouraged, affecting good industry competition and innovation breakthroughs.
To get out of the wrong zone, consumers need to be seen rationally. The selection process, which neither blindly excludes national production nor superstitious imports, should be based on a detailed selection of the domestic and foreign criteria on which the product is based, the applicable scenario and the actual needs of the individual. The regulatory authorities are to strengthen the dissemination of standards, establish a platform for the exchange of national and international standards, and raise public awareness; at the same time, they are to continuously optimize the system of national standards, encourage the participation of enterprises in international standard-setting, enhance voice, return antibacterial testing standards to rational judgement and contribute to the improvement of health for all.
