Toilet Inspection in China

Sanitary ware is an important part of home improvement, and its quality directly affects the quality of daily life, especially the toilet is a product that needs a good performance every day, and its manufacturing process needs to strictly comply with quality control standards and certification requirements.

It is necessary for importers to establish effective quality control procedures to ensure the timely delivery of finished products that meet all relevant quality and safety standards. For brands or retailers, active quality control is essential to meet these challenges and optimize supply chain performance.

There are different types of toilets on the market. Common toilets on the market are generally divided into one-piece toilet assembly and two-piece toilet assembly. In recent years, some companies have chosen to develop smart toilets through continuous technical research, which have warm water washing, warm air drying, and seat Loop heating, sterilization and other intelligent and humanized functions.

How Does The Toilet Work?

When preparing to use a standard household toilet called a gravity toilet, both the tank and toilet are filled with water. When the joystick is pressed, it will lift up a rubber plug called a baffle, which allows the water in the tank to flow into the bowl. Water enters the bowl through small holes around the top of the inner bowl and siphon holes at the bottom of the bowl. Gravity forces the water in the bowl to flow onto the waste pipe. The water flowing into the bowl also cleans the bowl. The water in the bowl is replenished by the water entering from the water tank through the filling pipe.
