I. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine Revises the Measures for the Administration of Certification Bodies
In order to further streamline administration, delegate power, transform government functions, and improve the administrative approval procedures for certification bodies, recently the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China implemented a series of reform measures targeting the access approval and supervision and management of certification bodies, and revised the Measures for the Administration of Certification Bodies. The main revisions are reflected in the following four aspects:
First, some administrative approval and filing items were canceled, and management methods were adjusted. First, the administrative approval for certification bodies to establish branches was canceled and adjusted to reporting relevant information to the Certification and Accreditation Administration or local certification supervision departments; second, the administrative approval for certification bodies to subcontract certification business to overseas certification bodies was canceled and adjusted to post-event filing management; third, the filing requirement for certification bodies to establish offices and for overseas certification bodies to establish representative offices in China was canceled and adjusted to reporting relevant information to the Certification and Accreditation Administration or local certification supervision departments.
Second, the approval conditions for certification bodies were relaxed. First, in conjunction with commercial system reform, the approval for the establishment of certification bodies was changed from “certificate before license” to “license before certificate.” Any legal person established according to law and able to bear corresponding legal liability may apply to establish a certification body after obtaining legal person status; second, the provision that full-time certification personnel must have practicing qualifications and capabilities was canceled; third, the provision that Chinese joint venturers or cooperators for foreign investors establishing Sino-foreign equity or cooperative certification bodies in China shall be certification bodies approved by the Certification and Accreditation Administration with more than 3 years of certification experience or inspection bodies or laboratories that have obtained qualification accreditation according to law was canceled; fourth, the provision requiring a feasibility study report for new certification fields was canceled; fifth, the provision requiring investors to provide relevant credit standing certificates was canceled; sixth, when certification bodies apply to expand their business scope, the restriction that the certification body has been in operation for more than 1 year and has no illegal or non-compliant conduct within 1 year was canceled.
Third, the term of permission was extended, the permission procedures were simplified, and the permission time was shortened. First, the validity period of the original Approval Certificate for Certification Bodies was extended from 4 years to 6 years; second, the time limit for making an approval decision after accepting an application for the establishment of a certification body was shortened from 90 days to 45 days; third, where a certification body needs to renew approval, the requirement was changed from 90 days before the expiration of the validity period of the Approval Certificate for Certification Bodies to 30 days before expiration, and the renewal approval review was changed to a written review; fourth, the expert review stage in licensing was changed from a mandatory stage to an optional stage.
Fourth, the practice norms for certification bodies were strengthened, and ongoing and post-event supervision was reinforced. For the canceled administrative approvals and filings, in accordance with the principle of combining “delegation,” “management,” and “governance,” some necessary ongoing and post-event supervision measures were added accordingly. First, where administrative approval items were canceled, post-event informational filing was implemented. For failure to file, corresponding administrative penalties were added; second, where filing items were canceled, information reporting was implemented. For failure to report information, corresponding administrative penalties were added; third, an information disclosure system for annual reports and social responsibility reports of certification bodies was added to enhance the self-discipline awareness of certification bodies and accept social supervision.
II. Relevant Information on the Quality and Safety of Imported Children's Products
In recent years, China's consumption of imported children's products has grown rapidly, and brands have become increasingly diverse. The quality and safety of children's products concern children's personal safety and health and have attracted much consumer attention. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has always been committed to strictly controlling the quality of imported consumer goods and preventing non-compliant imported consumer goods from entering the domestic market, so as to protect the rights and interests of domestic consumers, especially the health and safety of children. From January to May 2015, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine compiled statistics on children's products such as imported children's clothing, toys, infant diapers, food-contact products for children, and child car safety seats. As International Children's Day is approaching, I hereby report the relevant situation as follows:
From January to May 2015, entry-exit inspection and quarantine institutions nationwide detected a total of 5,778 batches of non-compliant imported children's products, a year-on-year increase of 103%, involving a value of USD 123.8 million. Among them, 134 batches were non-compliant in quality and safety, a year-on-year decrease of 18.7%, and packaging and labeling non-compliance accounted for a relatively large proportion of the non-compliant items. Among them:
Imported children's clothing. A total of 2,288 batches of imported infant and children's clothing were detected as non-compliant, of which 107 batches were non-compliant in quality and safety, a year-on-year decrease of 13.7%. The main non-compliant items were formaldehyde content, pH value, color fastness, and fiber composition inconsistent with labeling. Infant and children's clothing produced in Bangladesh had the most serious quality problems, ranking first for two consecutive years in the number of detected batches of non-compliant imported children's clothing in China, followed by children's clothing produced in India, Vietnam, Indonesia, and other countries or regions. For children's clothing that was non-compliant in quality and safety, entry-exit inspection and quarantine institutions have all implemented return or destruction processing.
Imported toys. A total of 96 batches of imported children's toys were detected as non-compliant, a year-on-year increase of 95%, with a value of USD 2.594 million. Among them, 8 batches were non-compliant in quality and safety, a year-on-year decrease of 65.2%. The main non-compliant items were: mechanical safety non-compliance of plush toys, instability test non-compliance of dolls, non-compliant average thickness of plastic bags used for toy packaging, absence of 3C marking, and non-compliant warning instructions. Brands involved included HENES, MAMMUT, MUJI, LEGO, and others. The non-compliant children's toys involved came from South Korea, Vietnam, Kyrgyzstan, Hong Kong, and other places.
Imported infant diapers (pads). A total of 3,135 batches of imported infant diapers (pads) were detected as non-compliant, a year-on-year increase of 228.9%, with a value of USD 110 million. The main non-compliant item was product labeling not meeting requirements. For products with non-compliant labeling, inspection and quarantine institutions supervised importing enterprises in carrying out technical rectification in accordance with China's laws and regulations so as to meet China's relevant requirements.
Imported food-contact products for children. A total of 223 batches of imported food-contact products for children were detected as non-compliant, 16 times that of the same period last year, involving a value of USD 5.21 million. Among them, 18 batches were non-compliant in quality and safety items, and the rest were non-compliant in product and packaging labeling. The non-compliant products mainly included water cups, wooden children's chopstick sets, plastic molding molds, children's tableware, children's teethers, glass baby bottles, children's training chopsticks, and others. The main non-compliant items were decolorization, potassium permanganate consumption, evaporation residue, acrylonitrile monomer residue, and other items. Brands involved included BEABA, lifefactory, TRAMONTINA, munchkin, BEBECONFORT, and others, mainly from France, Vietnam, Brazil, the United States, and other places.
Imported child car safety seats. A total of 28 batches of imported child car safety seats were detected as non-compliant, with a value of USD 3.862 million. Among them, 1 batch was non-compliant in quality and safety and has been returned; the rest were non-compliant in product and packaging labeling.
In response to the above problematic children's products, inspection and quarantine institutions, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Law on Import and Export Commodity Inspection and its implementing regulations, implemented destruction, return, and technical processing, strictly preventing non-compliant children's products from entering the domestic market.
Children's products are related to children's physical health. To create a market environment conducive to the healthy growth of children and adolescents, it is necessary not only for inspection and quarantine departments to strengthen quality and safety controls, but also for consumers to raise their quality and safety awareness, deepen their understanding of knowledge related to children's products, and consume scientifically and rationally.
To this end, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine reminds consumers to pay attention to the following points when purchasing children's products: 1. When purchasing toys and strollers, the product should bear the “CCC” certification mark. Do not purchase toys with small parts that may be swallowed or inhaled, or toys with sharp points or rough edges. When using them, pay attention to age grouping and warning instructions. 2. When purchasing children's clothing, check whether buttons and small decorative objects are firmly attached, avoid purchasing infant clothing containing coated prints or many small parts, and let infants wear them only after careful washing. 3. When purchasing infant diapers, choose products with complete packaging, neat appearance, clear labeling, and no peculiar smell. 4. When purchasing food-contact products for children, pay attention to the Chinese instructions for use, including product name and material, and try to avoid brightly colored products. 5. When purchasing child car safety seats, choose the seat group suitable for the child's weight and age, and install the seat correctly in strict accordance with the instructions.
III. Relevant Information on the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine's Launch of Quality Improvement Actions for 10 Categories of Key Products Including Children's Products
Recently, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine issued the Action Plan for Quality Improvement of 10 Categories of Key Products Including Children's Products (hereinafter referred to as the Plan), taking the promotion of product quality improvement, industrial structure adjustment, and transformation of the economic development mode as the guide, closely focusing on the quality and safety needs of key products, key enterprises, and key regions, and through vertical and horizontal linkage and internal and external cooperation, driving all industries to focus on quality, promoting quality improvement through comprehensive rectification, and promoting transformation and upgrading through quality improvement.
The 10 categories of key products targeted by this quality improvement action are: children's products, decorative and renovation materials, water-saving products, kitchen utensils, textiles and clothing, automotive gasoline and diesel, wires and cables, compound fertilizers, building waterproofing membranes, and food packaging materials.
According to the deployment of the Plan, through carrying out quality improvement actions for 10 categories of key products, five aspects of goals are to be achieved. First, “solve problems”: deeply analyze the causes and crux constraining product quality improvement, guide production enterprises to strengthen and improve quality management systems, and enhance quality assurance capabilities. Second, “strengthen supervision”: increase the intensity of product quality and safety supervision and inspection, severely crack down on quality violations, strictly handle enterprises with non-compliant product quality, and urge enterprises to implement their main responsibilities. Third, “demonstration-driven promotion”: vigorously promote the construction of quality improvement demonstration projects (zones), and cultivate a number of demonstration projects (zones) with driving and leading effects. Fourth, “form synergy”: strengthen external cooperation and internal coordination, promote local governments to play a leading role, join forces with relevant departments, and accelerate the construction of a product quality improvement pattern integrating “delegation, management, and governance.” Fifth, through the quality improvement of one product after another, the pass rate of national supervision and spot checks for key products should be significantly improved, remaining stable above 90% in 2015.
IV. Release of the Safety Technical Code for Textile Products for Infants and Children
The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the Standardization Administration of China today approved and issued the mandatory national standard GB 31701-2015 Safety Technical Code for Textile Products for Infants and Children. This is China's first mandatory national standard specifically for textile products for infants and children (children's clothing). This standard comprehensively regulates the safety performance of children's clothing, will help guide production enterprises to improve the safety and quality of children's clothing, and protect the health and safety of infants and children. The standard will be officially implemented on June 1, 2016.
In view of the particularity of infants and children as a group, this standard, on the basis of the original textile safety standards, further improves various safety requirements for textile products for infants and children, comprehensively upgrading safety requirements. In terms of chemical safety requirements, the standard adds limit requirements for 6 types of plasticizers and 2 heavy metals, lead and cadmium. In terms of mechanical safety, the standard makes detailed provisions on cords and straps at different parts of children's clothing such as the head and neck, shoulders, and waist, requiring that there be no cords or straps at all on the head and neck area of clothing for infants and children under 7 years old; at the same time, the standard also sets provisions for textile accessories, requiring that accessories have a certain tensile strength and that there be no sharp points or edges. In addition, the standard also adds flammability performance requirements.
According to different ages, the standard divides children's clothing into two categories: textile products suitable for infants and children aged 36 months and below are infant textile products, and textile products suitable for children over 3 years old and 14 years old and below are children's textile products.
According to different safety requirements, the standard divides the safety technical categories of children's clothing into three categories: A, B, and C. Category A is the best, Category B is second, and Category C is the basic requirement. It also requires that infant textile products shall meet Category A requirements, children's textile products in direct contact with the skin shall at least meet Category B requirements, and children's textile products not in direct contact with the skin shall at least meet Category C requirements. The standard also requires that children's clothing indicate the safety category in the instructions for use, and infant textile products shall also be marked with “infant products.” In the future, when consumers purchase children's clothing, they may use the safety category indicated in the instructions for use as a reference.
V. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine Issues Quality and Safety Risk Warnings for Five Categories of Children's Products Including Power Adapters for Electric Toys
Recently, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine organized the implementation of quality and safety risk monitoring for five categories of children's products, including toy scooters, baby walkers, sound-producing toys, spinning toys, and modeling clay. After expert review, it was found that these products have varying degrees of quality and safety risks.
Among them, a total of 48 batches of toy scooter samples were monitored, and 46 batches were found to have certain problems in mechanical and physical performance, mainly manifested in gaps in moving parts similar to the width of infants' fingers, round holes similar in size to the width of infants' fingers with sharp edges, grips prone to pulling off or handle ends with too small a diameter, inner packaging plastic bags too thin and not perforated as required, and unreasonable gaps in the vertical and horizontal handlebars when adjusted or folded, among others, which may lead to injuries such as skin scratches, suffocation, finger pinching or necrosis, and falls. In addition, all 48 batches of samples had missing product labeling or warning information.
A total of 20 batches of baby walker samples were monitored, and 19 batches were found to roll down stairs after the whole vehicle separated from the test platform during testing. These products may present a rolling hazard when used in environments around steps.
A total of 125 batches of sound-producing toy samples were monitored, and 27 batches were found to have high sound pressure test values. If children are exposed to a high-decibel continuous sound environment for a long time, or receive a sudden high-decibel pulse sound, their hearing may be damaged.
A total of 77 batches of spinning toy samples were monitored, and 31 batches were found to have quality and safety risks. The main problem was that parts fell off or small fragments were produced during drop or impact testing, which could easily scratch the skin or injure the eyes.
A total of 100 batches of modeling clay samples were monitored, and 63 batches were found to have high contents of harmful substances such as migratable metal elements, preservatives, aromatic amines, or total volatile organic compounds. If children come into contact with these products for a long time, harmful substances may migrate into children's bodies through the respiratory tract, skin, oral cavity, and other routes, causing allergic reactions or damage to the nervous system and organs.
The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine reminds consumers to pay attention to preventing related risks when purchasing and using these products.
