"People's Daily" published a signed article by Luo Wen: Strengthen the source management of product quality and safety

  The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to the quality and safety of industrial products, and General Secretary Xi Jinping has made important instructions and clear requirements many times. In May 2024, the State Council issued the Decision on Adjusting and Improving the Management Catalogue of Industrial Product Production Licenses to strengthen the access management of important industrial products and the governance at the source. Guarding the bottom line of industrial product quality and safety and ensuring the safety of people's lives and property is a political responsibility that the market supervision department must resolutely shoulder.

  The overall quality and safety of industrial products in mainland China is stable and improving

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, the quality and safety level of industrial products in mainland China has been significantly improved, the quality of a number of major technical equipment, major projects, important consumer goods, and high-tech products in emerging fields has reached the international advanced level, and the quality pass rate of various industrial products has continued to improve, which has strongly supported the high-quality development of the industry and the high-quality life of the people.

  The quality and safety of manufacturing products have been continuously strengthened. Manufacturing is the foundation of the country, the foundation of a strong country, and an important part of the real economy. In recent years, the quality of key industrial products in the mainland's manufacturing industry has been steadily improved, the quality and safety of basic industrial products have been significantly improved, technology-intensive industries such as computer, communication and other electronic equipment manufacturing, instrument and meter manufacturing have maintained strong quality competitiveness, and the standard level of industrial products has been continuously upgraded. In 2023, the qualified rate of product quality in the mainland's manufacturing industry will reach 93.7%, an increase of 5 percentage points compared with 2012, and the failure rate of cement and wire and cable spot checks will be reduced from 8.6% and 6.5% in 2019 to 2.4% and 1.7% respectively. The conversion rate of international standards in the field of construction machinery, chemical industry, ferroalloy and other equipment manufacturing fields has exceeded 90%, and the international competitiveness and recognition have been further improved.

  The quality and safety level of daily consumer goods continues to improve. Consumer goods are closely related to people's lives. In recent years, the overall quality level of daily consumer goods in mainland China has been comprehensively improved, and the product quality pass rate, consumer satisfaction of consumer goods, and the conversion rate of international standards for key consumer goods have been significantly improved. The failure rate of spot checks on electric bicycles and gas water heaters decreased by nearly 10 percentage points compared with 2019. Since the implementation of the compulsory certification system, the pass rate of children's toys has increased from less than 40% to 96%, and that of household appliances has increased from 76.7% to 90.7%. The customer satisfaction scores of 11 categories of durable consumer goods have maintained an upward trend for many years. The consistency between the standards of major consumer goods such as household appliances, textiles and garments and international standards has reached 96%, basically in line with international standards.

  The competitiveness of product quality and brand has been significantly enhanced. The brand reflects the level of product quality and safety, and is an important embodiment of the comprehensive competitiveness of the enterprise and even the country. In recent years, positive progress has been made in quality brand building, a number of well-known enterprises and well-known brands with strong competitiveness have emerged, and China's brand awareness, reputation and influence have been continuously improved. In 2024, the number of Chinese brands selected as the world's top 500 brands will increase from 40 in 2019 to 73, including 21 manufacturing brands, and the market competitiveness and international influence of "Made in China" and "China Quality" have been greatly improved.

  The product quality and safety management system is more perfect. In recent years, the quality and safety laws and regulations of mainland China have been gradually improved, and the product quality and safety risk monitoring mechanism, product injury monitoring system, and defective product recall management mechanism have been continuously improved. The quality and safety supervision system has been continuously optimized, and the production license management of 27 kinds of industrial products in 14 categories has been implemented, and the mandatory certification management has been implemented for 100 kinds of products in 16 categories. Among the 44,000 national standards, industrial product-related standards account for more than 70%, basically realizing that there are standards for industrial production and quality supervision. A total of 877 national quality inspection centers have been built, and the number of inspection and testing institutions has exceeded 52,000, and the technical support force has been effectively strengthened.

  While the overall safety situation is improving, it should also be noted that the quality and safety situation of industrial products on the mainland is still complex and severe, and there are still some shortcomings and weak links in some industries. To a large extent, the quality and safety risks of industrial products in mainland China are caused by the source and transmitted from the upstream, and the pass must be moved forward and exerted in order to plug the loopholes and cure both the symptoms and the root causes.

  Pay close attention to the quality and safety supervision of industrial products

  The market supervision department will adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, thoroughly study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on market supervision, conscientiously implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, adhere to safety first and prevention first, adhere to problem-oriented and source governance, pay close attention to the quality and safety supervision of industrial products, and effectively protect the safety of people's lives and property.
