近些年来，防爆行業快速发展。在2008年1季度上海市相关部门對其产品进行了专项抽查，為安全世博打好基础。
在此专项监督抽查过程当中，对涉及有关防爆行程开关、防爆電磁起动器以及防爆燈具、防爆仪表等产品都进行了的抽查检验。
对於此次抽查监督的标准是按照國家强制性标准GB3836.1-2000《爆炸性氣体环境用電氣设备第1部分：通用要求》、GB3836.2-2000《爆炸性氣体环境用電氣设备第2部分：隔爆型“d”》、GB3836.3-2000《爆炸性氣体环境用電氣设备第3部分：增安型“e”》以及备案的企業标准和产品质量明示担保进行抽查。抽查项目针对产品结构的检查、以及冲击试验、最高表面温度试验、外壳耐压试验、内部点燃的不传爆试验、外壳防护等级试验、绝缘介電强度试验等项目进行检测。
在抽查结果当中，经检验的十六种产品合格率达到72.7％，在防爆仪表类和防爆开关電器类产品的抽样合格率分别為90.9％和83.3％，只有防爆燈具类产品抽查的合格率較低剛达到20％左右。
In recent years, rapid development of explosion-proof industry. In 2008, a quarter of the relevant departments of Shanghai special sampling of their products were, to lay the foundation for the security of the Expo.
In this special supervision and random process, involving the explosion-proof limit switch, explosion-proof electromagnetic starter, and explosion-proof lighting, explosion-proof devices and other products are made of a random inspection. Among the sample results by testing 16 kinds of product qualification rate reached 72.7%, in explosion-proof electrical switches explosion-proof instrument classes and the sampling rate of qualified products were 90.9% and 83.3%, only explosion-proof lighting products sampled low pass rate just reached 20%.
