Core Viewpoint - The new national standard for household disaster emergency kits (GB/T36750-2025) will be implemented on November 1, 2025, marking the first major revision since the initial standard was released in 2018. The new standard aims to provide standardized support for family disaster preparedness by clarifying the classification system and detailing requirements for typical disaster scenarios, including mandatory specifications for labeling, essential item lists, and quality performance [1]. Group 1: Compliance Issues - Three purchased emergency kits from major e-commerce platforms showed varying degrees of compliance issues, failing to meet the new national standard in aspects such as labeling and core configurations [1][2]. - The A kit, while orange and labeled as an "emergency rescue bag," had wrinkled reflective material; the B kit met color and reflective requirements but lacked the required labeling; the C kit was camouflaged and did not meet the visibility criteria [2]. - All three kits failed to meet basic compliance requirements, which are crucial for ensuring visibility and functionality in disaster scenarios [2][3]. Group 2: Essential Item List - The new standard specifies a list of 38 essential items categorized into emergency supplies, tools, first aid items, and auxiliary supplies. However, the purchased kits fell short of these requirements, with A and C kits containing only about 20 items each, while the B kit had 155 items [3][4]. - The B kit was the only one to include comprehensive first aid supplies, while the other two kits lacked essential items such as artificial respiration masks and ice packs [4][5]. Group 3: Pricing and Value Discrepancy - The three kits were priced at 101 yuan, 251 yuan, and 270 yuan, but the actual quality and compliance did not reflect the price differences, indicating that higher-priced products did not necessarily offer better compliance [6]. - The core costs of compliant emergency kits, including essential items like emergency drinking water and multi-functional tools, suggest that the lowest-priced kit (101 yuan) could not possibly meet compliance standards due to reduced core configurations [6]. Group 4: Recommendations for Emergency Preparedness - The current low penetration rate of household emergency kits is attributed to financial constraints and limited awareness. Many individuals perceive these kits as unnecessary, leading to a lack of investment [7]. - Experts recommend that families should focus on acquiring specific emergency items based on their actual needs rather than purchasing complete kits, emphasizing the importance of knowledge and skills in emergency preparedness [7].

Core Viewpoint - The new national standard for household disaster emergency kits will be implemented on November 1, addressing modern needs and categorizing kits into basic and expanded types for different family requirements [1][2]. Group 1: New Standard Features - The new standard clearly distinguishes between basic and expanded emergency kits, providing tailored disaster solutions for households [2]. - It suggests that manufacturers incorporate smart features into emergency kits, such as location tracking, alarms, and environmental monitoring, to enhance practicality [3]. Group 2: Basic Emergency Kit Composition - The basic emergency kit includes four categories: emergency supplies, emergency tools, auxiliary supplies, and first aid supplies [6]. - Essential items in the basic kit comprise a multifunctional flashlight with broadcasting and self-generating capabilities, a whistle for signaling, a thermometer, and a compass [6]. - Additional items include a first aid blanket, escape rope, multifunctional hammer for breaking, windproof and moisture-proof matches, and specialized food items [8][10]. Group 3: Food and First Aid Supplies - The food items in the basic kit include long-lasting drinking water with a shelf life of up to three years and energy-dense compressed biscuits sufficient for one person's daily energy needs [10]. - The first aid kit contains common supplies such as adhesive bandages, iodine, thermometer, bandages, and cotton swabs [10]. Group 4: Expanded Emergency Kit Features - The expanded emergency kits include additional items tailored to specific disaster scenarios, while retaining the basic kit's configuration [12]. - For fire emergencies, the expanded kit features a fire blanket, a filter-type self-rescue breathing apparatus, and a fire extinguisher [14]. - The flood disaster kit includes a floating escape rope, a split raincoat, and long-lasting candles, while the earthquake kit contains a flame-retardant helmet and a foldable multifunctional shovel [14].
