How to choose and OEM/ODM manufacturer of Water Purifier

In case of the equipment damage or leakage of a water purifier caused by a poor-quality part, the seller may suffer payment or lawsuit for customer compensation. Therefore, choosing a high-quality OEM / ODM manufacturer of water purifier shall pay attention to the following additional characteristics:

1) Private laboratory with sufficient equipment and excellent quality
Before the trial production, a new product shall complete each test of reliability. Moreover, the following tests of reliability shall be carried out during the mass production or in case of product design change, supplier change, and so on.
1 Cycle test
2 Burst test
3 Accumulation test: to simulate general user behaviors
4 Pressure difference test
5 Alt spray test(metal)
6 Aging test (plastic)
7 Tension test (plastic tube / adapter)
8 Vibration test
9 Drop test
10 Power supply test
    10.1 Overload test
    10.2 Temperature test
    10.3 Electrical leakage test
    10.4 Voltage stability test
11 Electronic components testing
    11.1 Electromagnetic wave test
    11.2 Surge safety test
    11.3 EMI / EMC protection and interference tests
    11.4 Burn-in test
12 Water quality tests
    12.1 Residual chlorine test for active carbon
    12.2 Ion exchange resin test (Removal of heavy metal and calcium and magnesium ions (scale))
    12.3 Bacterial culture / sterilization test

5)Finding responsible suppliers

      To sum up the above points, I personally think that when finding and choosing a truly responsible OEM partner the most important thing is; how do you know that your supplier is responsible?

Take a look at the following:

1 Decide whether you need to purchase full global product liability insurance every year.

As I was just saying, different countries have different water pressures which, in addition to improper use of filter bottles, can cause them to rupture at night or when people go out for a long period of time. This can lead to flooding and serious damage or loss of furniture and carpets. An OEM that purchases full global product liability insurance every year is a guarantee for the buyer.

2 Commitment to Quality

An OEM that can clearly show, in an open way to a buyer, their commitment to quality though methods, such as by: publishing information on their official website; posting "quality commitment" posters throughout their factory areas; printing "quality commitment" on their business cards along with other ways and means can allow buyers and the general public to monitor their business while, at the same time remind the OEM to maintain their commitments at all times.

3 Voluntary recall of defective products

    The biggest headache for a buyer should not be problems in supply plant quality but should rather be that these problems have gone unnoticed or have been ignored.

A responsible supplier has the responsibility to ensure that, if they either find that quality is abnormal or suspect that there is a problem with the quality of a product, they will take the initiative to recall the defective product with immediate effect, or to ask the customer to have the product modified or replaced locally, with the supplier reimbursing the buyer for the cost. This is the meaning of being truly responsible.

4 Apply for ISO-14001 international environmental management systems certification and continuing to implement the standard

Many suppliers are either trying to save costs in their factories or have no awareness of environmental protection. As a result, many supply factories have not obtained ISO-14001 international environmental management systems certification. How can such a supply factory have an environmentally friendly heart? Obtaining ISO-14001 international environmental management system certification and implementing it on a continuous basis for many years is also part of having a responsible attitude.
