     For dryers used in industrial applications, such as in the textile, food processing, etc. fields.
2. Classification Reasons
   • Product Nature: Classification is based on the General Rules for the Classification of Customs Commodities, mainly referring to the purpose, structure, and technical parameters of the dryer.
   • Usage Scenario: If the dryer is clearly used in an industrial scenario and has professional technical parameters to support it, it is classified into 8451.2900.
   • Household Appliance Attribute: If the equipment has a clear household attribute, such as being suitable for a residential environment, it is classified into 8451.2100.

III. Quality and Safety Standards

Imported dryers need to meet the national standards in terms of quality and safety. This is a basic requirement to ensure that they can be sold and used in the domestic market. The specific standards are as follows:

   • In the household field, it is necessary to follow the standard GB 4706.20 Safety of household and similar electrical appliances - Part 20: Particular requirements for tumble dryers.
   • In terms of electrical safety, there are strict regulations on insulation resistance, grounding connection, protection against electric shock and arc - proof design, etc. For example, the grounding connection must be stable and reliable to prevent potential electric leakage hazards.
   • In terms of mechanical safety, it involves tests on the strength and stability of the mechanical structure, tipping tests, etc., to ensure that the equipment will not cause harm to users due to shaking, tipping, etc. during daily use.
   • At the same time, this standard also has clear requirements for the control performance of drying temperature and time, air flow performance, over - heat protection design and protection performance, etc.
2. GB 25115.4-2010 standard
   • GB 25115.4-2010 Safety Requirements for Industrial Washing Machinery - Part 4: Dryers standard provides important hazard warnings for industrial dryers, especially drum dryers of specific specifications.
   • This standard clarifies various potential hazards that may exist in dryers during normal use and foreseeable misuses, and stipulates corresponding safety requirements and protective measures for the identified hazards. For example, in terms of mechanical safety, protective devices are set for the moving parts of the dryer to prevent harm caused by human contact.
   • At the same time, it also stipulates the content, location, and form of the safety signs and warning labels that dryers should be equipped with, so that users can understand the potential hazards of the equipment and the correct operation methods.

IV. Energy Efficiency Standards

The drafting work of the national standard Minimum allowable values of energy efficiency and water efficiency and their grades for electric washing and drying machines was launched on December 28, 2023. This standard incorporates dryers into the existing energy and water efficiency evaluation system, focuses on the measurement of energy consumption, favors more energy - efficient heat - pump dryers, and gradually phases out condensing dryers.
