China to establish a recall system for motor vehicle environmental defects

In order to effectively manage air pollution and other ecological environments, the national quality inspection system will serve ecological environment management more accurately. The Legal Daily reporter learned from the National Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine Work Conference held today that, given that coal-fired emissions and motor vehicle emissions are two important factors affecting the environment, in 2017, my country will fully implement the National V standard for refined oil and establish a motor vehicle environmental defect recall system. Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas should take the lead in implementing special enforcement and cracking down on counterfeit refined oil products and take the lead in solving the energy-saving and environmental protection problems of coal-fired industrial boilers.

"In recent years, environmental pollution has attracted much attention, and the central government has placed ecological civilization construction in a prominent position." Zhi Shuping, director of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, stressed at the meeting, "We must give full play to our technological advantages, promote the implementation of the energy efficiency leader system, carry out green and low-carbon measurement pilot projects, energy resource measurement demonstrations in key areas and 'standardization + ecological civilization' activities, implement 100 energy efficiency standards promotion projects and green manufacturing standardization improvement projects, tighten energy conservation, water conservation, environmental protection and other standards, strengthen green product and energy management system certification and greenhouse gas emission verification, and strengthen hard constraints on ecological and environmental protection."

40% of consumer goods imported by cross-border e-commerce companies are substandard

In 2016, my country's quality and safety supervision level was significantly improved. According to Zhi Shuping, last year my country investigated and dealt with 36,000 cases of various quality violations, recalled 6.184 million defective consumer products and 11.335 million vehicles, an increase of 8.2 times and 103% year-on-year respectively.

Zhi Shuping revealed that in 2016, my country's import and export commodity inspection and supervision system became more perfect, detecting 98,000 batches of unqualified imported goods, the unqualified rate of random inspections of import and export commodities outside the catalogue was 27.6%, and the unqualified rate of random inspections of cross-border e-commerce imported consumer goods was 40.9%.

At the same time, the import and export food safety management capabilities have been continuously strengthened, an import food safety management system has been initially established, an import food safety assurance project has been implemented, full coverage of imported food supervision and random inspections has been achieved, and more than 10,000 batches of unqualified imported foods have been detected.

In addition, last year my country launched a comprehensive reform of special equipment safety supervision, launched a special equipment safety battle, rectified 39,700 elevators with hidden dangers, established elevator emergency response platforms in 104 cities, and inspected 28,000 kilometers of new oil and gas pipelines. The number of elevator accidents and deaths decreased by 17.2% and 10.9% year-on-year respectively, the number of special equipment accidents and related accidents decreased by 9.3% year-on-year, and the death rate per 10,000 pieces of equipment decreased by 8.3% year-on-year.

10 categories of enterprise standard rankings will be released

2017 is the year of deepening supply-side structural reform. What new measures will the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine take? According to Zhi Shuping, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine is currently organizing research and formulating a quality improvement action plan. It will work with relevant departments to mobilize all sectors of society and use all quality inspection methods to fully carry out quality improvement actions.

This includes establishing and promoting the enterprise standard leader system. On the basis of fully promoting the self-declaration and supervision system of enterprise standards, 10 categories of enterprise standard rankings will be released to identify advanced standards and cultivate enterprise standard leaders through market-oriented mechanisms. Explore the establishment of a supervision and support system for consumer product enterprise standard leaders, establish an incentive mechanism for standard-innovative enterprises, and promote enterprises to actively implement high standards.

Carry out the "standardization +" action. Improve the quality and safety standards of consumer products and carry out demonstration work on the standardization of consumer products. Strengthen the standardization of productive services and establish a service industry standard system in line with international standards. In particular, we must make every effort to promote the "same line, same standard, same quality" project for domestic and foreign products, expand the scope of implementation from exported food and agricultural products to consumer products, accelerate the transformation of advanced and applicable international standards and conformity assessment procedures, and gradually eliminate the "high quality gap" between domestic and international markets.

Zhi Shuping pointed out that in 2017, we should organize quality research and rectification. For key areas with more quality problems, we should implement regional centralized rectification, supervise and implement local responsibilities. For regional quality problems that cannot be effectively solved, we should dare to "show the card and blow the whistle", talk to government officials, expose serious problems in the media, strengthen public opinion supervision, and force rectification and implementation.

A draft quality promotion law will be drafted this year

Zhi Shuping pointed out that in 2017, the quality inspection system should focus on promoting the transformation of government functions and make the greatest effort to accelerate key reforms in quality inspection.

He requested that this year, the 24 administrative law enforcement items included in the list should be fully implemented throughout the system, and all random inspections should be implemented. It is necessary to optimize the law enforcement inspection methods, explore big data precision supervision, promote "menu-style" law enforcement innovation, and create an upgraded version of "double random". It is necessary to combine risk management, credit supervision, and daily supervision, establish a safety risk assessment mechanism, issue risk warnings in a timely manner, accelerate the promotion of quality credit grading and classification management, improve differentiated management and dynamic promotion and demotion measures, establish a supervision quality and safety credit "blacklist", regularly publish typical cases of quality and safety violations, and improve the effectiveness of in-process and post-event supervision.

In terms of quality inspection fee reform, we must cooperate with relevant departments to issue a supervision guide for administrative and institutional fees in the quality inspection system as soon as possible, strictly implement fee disclosure requirements and clear price marking system, comprehensively clean up unreasonable charges, increase joint inspections of illegal charges, and effectively standardize enterprise-related charging behaviors within the system.

In terms of the integration and reform of inspection, testing and certification agencies, we must focus on rectifying enterprises run by the entire system, cracking down on "gray intermediaries", reducing institutional transaction costs, and lowering corruption risks.

Zhi Shuping stressed that we should continue to deepen the construction of legal quality inspection. He revealed that in 2017, a draft of the Quality Promotion Law will be drafted to promote local quality promotion legislation. The current effective regulations will be comprehensively cleaned up, and the seventh round of cleanup of normative documents will be completed. The major decision-making procedure system and the pilot program of the administrative law enforcement full process recording system will be promoted, and the General Administration will accelerate the establishment of a list of powers and a list of responsibilities.
