Big Announcement! Hydrogen-Oxygen Generators, Hydrogen-Rich Water Cups, etc., Officially Included in China's National Catalogue of Rehabilitation Assistive Devices!

In order to implement the "Opinions of the State Council on Accelerating the Development of the Rehabilitation Assistive Device Industry" (Guo Fa [2016] No. 60), further strengthen industry management, promote the standardized construction of rehabilitation assistive devices and services, and better meet the needs of the elderly, people with disabilities, and the sick and injured for assistive device configuration services, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has organized the formulation of the China Rehabilitation Assistive Device Catalogue (2026 Edition) in accordance with the relevant requirements of the "Procedures for Dynamic Adjustment of the China Rehabilitation Assistive Device Catalogue."
Among them, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has included products such as hydrogen gas generators, hydrogen-oxygen generators, hydrogen-rich water dispensers, hydrogen inhalation & drinking integrated devices, and hydrogen water cups into the Rehabilitation Assistive Device Catalogue.

01
What does this mean?
What does it mean for the hydrogen technology industry? What does it mean for every user, purchaser, practitioner, and follower of hydrogen health products? The rehabilitation assistive device industry is a livelihood industry that received key support during the national "13th Five-Year Plan" and "14th Five-Year Plan" periods. With all categories of hydrogen health products included in the catalogue, they are expected to benefit from policy advantages in the future – channels such as government procurement, medical insurance payments, aging-friendly renovations, community rehabilitation services, and home-based elderly care services may gradually open up.
 

02
Product Expectations and Uses

The inclusion of hydrogen health products in this catalogue is a key national strategic measure to address the health challenges of an aging population. The intended uses of these products have also been clearly defined: applicable for scenarios such as bathing and health maintenance for patients with chronic diseases, sub-healthy individuals, people with respiratory difficulties, and those with limb dysfunction.

Policy is the best catalyst for industry development. When hydrogen-oxygen generators are written into a Ministry of Civil Affairs document, they are no longer just a "cup" or a "machine" but become nationally recognized rehabilitation assistive devices. If you also want to catch this "national-level" express train of development, you are welcome to visit our factory for inspection and discussion at any time!
