Entry Barriers to Global Markets
As China's bathroom industry chain goes global, understanding the mandatory standards of target markets is crucial.
EU EN14428 Standard
European standards place extreme emphasis on 'Durability' and 'Cleanability'.
•Cycle Test: Requires hardware to pass 20,000 opening and closing cycles (MFMK internal control standard is 35,000 cycles).
•Corrosion Resistance: Must pass the 24-hour Acetic Acid Salt Spray (AASS) test.
North American SGCC and ANSI Z97.1
The North American market focuses more on 'Safety', especially risk control after glass breakage.
For hardware, this means it must have strong 'Anti-Derailment Capability'. SGCC requires that the door body must not derail under a 50kg impact force.
MFMK's Kirin Series clamps use a unique double-bolt locking structure, perfectly passing the strictest drop ball impact tests in North America.
Our Recommendations
For export projects to Europe, we recommend using Thunder Series stainless steel products; for North American projects, we recommend using the Jialong Series with higher structural strength.
