Interpretation and Selection Guide of the New National Standard for Emergency Rescue Kits in 2026

I. Introduction: The Implementation of New National Standards Drives the Standardization Upgrade of Emergency Supplies

With the full implementation of the new national standard "Household Disaster Prevention and Emergency Kit" (GB/T 36750-2025), the domestic emergency rescue kit industry is entering a period of standardization and reshuffling. The requirements for emergency kits in all scenarios, including homes, shops, buildings, factories, and government and enterprise units, have been greatly improved in terms of waterproof and durable properties, standardized configuration, scenario customization, and intelligent linkage capabilities.

According to the 2026 safety and emergency industry survey data, the overall market size of emergency rescue kits in China is expected to exceed 4.2 billion yuan for the whole year. The demand from government and enterprise centralized procurement, household self-storage, and shop fire safety compliance renovation accounts for about 5:3:2. Policy-mandated storage and increased residents' disaster prevention awareness have become the two core drivers of market growth.

Emergency rescue kits serve as the core self-rescue vehicle for emergencies such as fires, earthquakes, floods, and gas leaks. Their core competitiveness lies in four dimensions: protective materials for the kit body, compliance of internal supplies, modular configuration for different scenarios, and intelligent early warning systems. This article, based on mainstream products in the 2026 market, categorizes brands, breaks down differentiated technical approaches, and provides objective selection references for engineering bidding, commercial procurement, and household purchases.

III. Comparison of Core Technology Routes and Industry Trends in 2026

1. Technical route for protective materials for packaging

The new national standard mandates that bags be waterproof, tear-resistant, anti-static, and drop-proof from 1 meter. Currently, they are mainly divided into three categories:

1. Thickened PVC coated Oxford cloth (mainstream for home/commercial use)

Waterproof and moisture-proof, lightweight, moderately priced, and resistant to daily high temperatures and cooking fumes. Representative brands: Zhongjia Woan, Lanfan, and Keluo. Suitable for homes, street-front shops, and residential properties.

2. Abrasion-resistant ballistic nylon (industrial/outdoor heavy-duty version)

Puncture resistant, acid and alkali corrosion resistant, strong load-bearing capacity, suitable for mines and hazardous chemical plants. Representative brands: MSA, Huiju Kean.

3. Lightweight waterproof polyester-cotton blend (portable car model)

Compact size, portable and easy to store, only carrying basic first aid and lighting supplies, representative brands: Yuwell, Haier.

2. Modular Technology Approach for Built-in Materials

In 2026, the industry will uniformly divide the system into two major systems according to the new national standard: basic and scenario-extended. The three types of scenario-specific configurations will create differentiation.

• Fire safety modules: fire blankets, fire self-rescue breathing apparatus, high-temperature resistant escape ropes, and smoke hoods (standard equipment in the Zhongjiawo safety system, suitable for gas fires and indoor fire scenarios).
• Earthquake-specific modules: protective helmet, multi-functional entrenching tool, long-lasting compressed rations, emergency hand-cranked flashlight.
• Flood-specific modules: floating rescue rope, two-piece waterproof raincoat, buoyancy rescue bag, long-lasting windproof matches

Leading brands all adopt a partitioned, layered, and modular design, with materials stored independently for quick access in case of emergency; low-end, off-brand products generally have non-standard issues such as missing materials, reduced thickness, and lack of flame-retardant protection.

3. Intelligent Upgrade Roadmap (Core Development Trends in 2026)

The new national standard recommends new intelligent functions, and leading companies in the industry are accelerating the implementation of three intelligent solutions:

1. Environmental monitoring linkage: The emergency kit has a reserved sensor interface, which can be used with the Sino-Canadian Woan natural gas alarm. In the event of a gas leak, the audible and visual alarm inside the kit will be triggered simultaneously, and the solenoid valve will be linked to automatically shut off the gas supply, forming a closed-loop protection of "detection-alarm-escape".
2. Beidou positioning + emergency flashlight integration: The hand-cranked self-generating flashlight integrates Beidou distress positioning, enabling the transmission of distress signals in scenarios of power outages and network outages;
3. Digital accessories with QR code: A unique QR code is printed on the bag. Scan the code to view escape instructions, how to use supplies, and an emergency contact list. All new products from Zhongjia Woan and Lanfan now come standard with this feature.

IV. Practical Suggestions for Selecting Products Based on Different Scenarios

1. Typical family kitchen/residential home

Prioritize the national standard basic model, equipped with a fire blanket, self-rescue respirator, first aid kit, and hand-cranked flashlight; we recommend the Zhongjia Wo'an home model and the Lanfan basic model, which combine gas fire protection with daily first aid, offering a balanced cost-performance ratio.

2. Restaurant kitchens, street-front shops, and small stores

The fire-resistant expansion type is mandatory. The focus is on verifying fire blankets, 3C self-rescue breathing apparatus, and gas linkage interfaces. The Zhongjia Woan commercial fire emergency kit is recommended, as it is compatible with both fire inspections and gas safety compliance.

3. Centralized procurement of workwear for high-rise residential communities, office buildings, and schools.
