Nowadays, mobile payment has appeared in all aspects of people's life. It is not an exception to pay by scanning the code when filling gas at the gas station. However, there are also security risks in mobile phone code scanning payment. After receiving this first-line information from the masses, the Xuancheng procuratorial organ recently issued a procuratorial proposal to the local commerce and emergency departments, suggesting that the use of mobile phones in flammable and explosive areas of gas stations is strictly prohibited. The relevant departments have issued a notice to the gas stations under their jurisdiction and carried out special inspections, requiring that it is strictly prohibited to use mobile phones to scan code for payment in explosive hazardous areas.

Procuratorial recommendations Mobile phones are strictly prohibited in flammable and explosive areas

"At that time, some citizens reported that many gas stations now often let customers pay by scanning the code beside the gas gun, which has certain hidden dangers. So we asked the county and city procuratorates to send procuratorial suggestions to the relevant departments." Gao Jun, head of the Fifth Procuratorial Department of the Xuancheng People's Procuratorate, told Xin'an Evening News, Anhui. com and Dawan Client reporters yesterday.

"Before issuing the procuratorial advice, we visited the gas station and found that there was indeed a situation where the staff asked customers to scan the code for payment in dangerous areas." Le Ling, the procurator of the Fourth Procuratorial Department of Xuanzhou District People's Procuratorate, said that the court issued procuratorial advice to Xuanzhou District Commerce Bureau and Emergency Management Bureau at the end of August. According to the inspection proposal, gasoline is a volatile substance, and the mobile phone will generate radio frequency current when used, which may cause induction with the computer equipment in the gas station. The electronic friction generated in a moment will ignite the oil vapor in the air. According to the relevant gas station operation safety regulations, "mobile communication tools shall not be used" in the gas station, and "mobile phones shall not be used" in flammable and explosive areas

The procuratorial department suggested that the commercial and emergency management departments should supervise and manage the gas stations in strict accordance with laws and regulations, deal with the gas stations that use mobile communication equipment in violation of regulations, and require all gas stations within the jurisdiction to prohibit the use of mobile phones in flammable and explosive areas.

Department response Rectification has been completed and a review will be organized

When the reporter visited several gas stations in downtown Xuancheng recently, the staff showed a copy of Xuanzhou District Bureau of Commerce and Emergency Management Bureau Documents issued on September 4. The document requires all gas station enterprises to conscientiously fulfill the main responsibility of safe production according to law, and it is strictly prohibited to use WeChat, Alipay, etc. to scan code for payment in explosive hazardous areas such as the refueling operation area, and warning signs should be set up.

Introduction of a person in charge of a gas station: "More than half of the customers now use mobile payment. In order to facilitate customers, the staff used to ask customers to scan with payment codes, but now they ask customers to get off the bus and pay in the convenience store of the gas station."

In the middle and late October, Xuanzhou District Commerce Bureau and Emergency Management Bureau replied to the procuratorial suggestions of Xuanzhou District People's Procuratorate, saying that: relevant notices on strengthening the safety management of gas stations have been formulated and issued; A special inspection was carried out and the gas station was required to strengthen the publicity and prohibit the illegal use of mobile phones to scan codes in explosion-proof areas; The gas stations that use mobile communication equipment in violation of regulations are required to rectify immediately. After review, the rectification has been completed; The next step will be to organize and carry out "looking back", and urge the gas stations within the jurisdiction to implement safety theme responsibilities.

Journalists from Xin'an Evening News, Anhui. com and Dawan Client yesterday learned from the Xuancheng People's Procuratorate that, taking the practice of the Xuanzhou District People's Procuratorate as a typical example, the Xuancheng People's Procuratorate has asked all procuratorates in the city to investigate whether such acts exist in their own areas. If problems are found, they should urge the relevant authorities to correct them in a timely manner.

[A stone from another mountain] Scanning code in refueling area to pay has been stopped in several cities

this year In August, the media in Luoyang, Henan, exposed the hidden danger of code scanning payment at local gas stations. Some citizens reported that when they went to refuel, sometimes the oil gun still dripped oil, and the staff of the gas station took out the QR code and asked them to scan it for payment. Subsequently, Luoyang Emergency Management Bureau issued a notice requiring all gas stations in the city to stop scanning codes in the gas area for payment.

In fact, Luoyang is not the first city to ban mobile phone scanning code payment in the refueling area. As early as this year In April, Nanjing issued the Notice on Further Strengthening the Safety Management of Gas Stations, which clearly requires that mobile phones are not allowed to be used in explosive hazard areas such as the refueling operation area, and it is strictly prohibited to post and set "WeChat scanning code", "shake" and other notices and signs that may mislead customers to use mobile phones.

this year At the end of August, Xiamen media exposed that two local gas stations used mobile phones to scan codes in the gas area for payment. Xiamen Emergency Management Bureau immediately interviewed the person in charge of relevant gas stations to urge them to make rectification; Make a notice board prohibiting mobile phone scanning for payment and distribute it to gas stations throughout the city.

In fact, most gas stations still support the method of scanning the number to pay for the fuel charge, but the owner needs to get off the bus and scan the number in the gas station room. Some gas stations that support code scanning payment also use POS machine scans code, but unlike POS machine used in shopping malls, this customized POS machine has explosion-proof function.

[Clarification] Mobile payment in gas station Will it cause oil and gas explosion

There are three main safety areas in the gas station, namely, offices, convenience stores and toilets. The prohibition of mobile phones in gas stations is derived from The Safety Specification for Gas Station Operation, which was implemented in 2008, clearly requires that "smoking and mobile communication tools are not allowed in the station area. Mobile phones and BPs are not allowed in flammable and explosive areas".

Song Yubo, an associate professor of the Cyberspace Security School of Southeast University, explained that the use of mobile phones in gas stations requires two conditions: first, the concentration of oil and gas must reach a certain proportion at the scene; second, the power of mobile phone electromagnetic waves is high enough to generate electric sparks on the circuit. Therefore, it is theoretically possible to answer and make calls or use other functions of mobile phones in gas stations to cause oil and gas explosion, but in real life, the probability is very low. "As long as we pay far away from the refueling gun, the risk factor will be reduced."

Song Yubo said that many mobile phones are touch smart phones, which are safer to use than the old button phones because they do not have some mechanical button operations, so there is less possibility of electric sparks.

Even so, safety is no trivial matter. Gas stations should follow safety regulations to operate. The areas that can and cannot scan codes need to be clear. In this way, everyone will put safety first when consuming.
