Certification system reform reduces the burden on enterprises

Tang Jun, Deputy Director of the State Administration for Market Regulation, stated at the National Certification, Accreditation, Inspection, and Testing Work Conference that through deepening the reform of the compulsory product certification system, in 2019, 27 types of products shifted to enterprise self-declaration, no longer requiring third-party certification, reducing about 300,000 compulsory product certification (CCC certification) certificates, shortening the certification cycle by over 30%, and reducing certification costs by about 4,000 yuan per certificate. It was introduced that the reform of the compulsory product certification system is based on necessity and minimization principles. In 2019, the catalog of compulsory product certification in China was reduced by 24.7%. Regarding the reform of industrial product production licenses, six categories of products were changed from licenses to CCC certification, with 290 million yuan of special fiscal funds arranged through government service procurement to reduce enterprise burdens. To address illegal activities such as false certification and issuing false reports, market regulation departments organized supervision and inspection of the certification and testing market and strictly punished violations. In 2019, spot checks on the validity of certification were conducted on 2,646 batches of products, including 25 types of CCC products and 9 types of organic products, detecting 272 batches of unqualified CCC products and 30 batches of organic products, resulting in the revocation or suspension of 535 certificates; 270 million CCC certificate verifications were conducted on e-commerce platforms, and 17.43 million problematic products were removed. How reliable are inspection and testing reports? Tang Jun introduced that in 2019, the "Inspection and Testing Report Authenticity Inquiry System" was launched, allowing the public to verify the authenticity of 1.057 billion inspection and testing reports issued nationwide since 2016, with a total of 210,000 inquiries so far. Regarding certifications in socially concerned areas such as green products and food agricultural products, Tang Jun introduced that by accelerating the promotion of voluntary certification systems, certifications such as organic products and good agricultural practices are promoted in the food agricultural sector; home appliance quality certifications in consumer goods; urban rail transit equipment, transportation cards, drones, and other certifications in industrial products; and health services, elderly care services, housekeeping services, and other certifications in the service industry, guiding the improvement of product and service quality. So far, more than 1,200 high-end quality product certification certificates and over 20,000 service certification certificates have been issued. Tang Jun stated that certification, accreditation, inspection, and testing play a unique role in establishing and conveying trust in the market, providing technical support and reliable basis for market access, quality supervision, credit supervision, consumer rights protection, law enforcement, and anti-counterfeiting. The next step will focus on promoting the reform of the compulsory product certification implementation agency designation system, while guiding practitioners to optimize services through moderate competition.

Top Ten Emergency Management Events of 2019 Looking back at the past year, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core attached great importance and showed close concern for emergency management work, promoting the entire system to deeply summarize reform exploration and practice, further boosting morale and working solidly. 2019 was the first full year of the emergency management department's full performance after its establishment, a year of overall planning and layout for the emergency management system and capacity building, and also a year with a significant rise in risks and challenges from various disasters and accidents, with many major, difficult, and urgent matters. The Party Leadership Group of the Ministry of Emergency Management adhered to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as guidance, earnestly implemented the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, insisted on reform as the driving force and key to the overall situation, combining fundamental and symptomatic treatment and short- and long-term measures, while firmly controlling major safety risks, systematically promoted innovative development of emergency management. Overall, the major emergency management system has been clarified, new mechanisms basically formed, the force system initially established, emergency rescue capabilities and efficiency significantly improved, and the advantages of the new department, new mechanism, and new team increasingly evident, winning one victory after another. The editorial department of China Emergency Management News launched the "Top Ten Emergency Management Events of 2019" to witness the brilliant achievements of the emergency management system with readers and jointly feel the significant development of emergency management over the year. 01 The Decision of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee requires improving the public safety system and mechanism, optimizing the national emergency management capacity system, and enhancing disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities. From October 28 to 31, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee was held in Beijing, passing the "Decision of the CPC Central Committee on Upholding and Improving the Socialist System with Chinese Characteristics and Promoting the Modernization of the National Governance System and Governance Capacity." The Decision requires improving the public safety system and mechanism, perfecting and implementing safety production responsibility and management systems, establishing a public safety hazard investigation and safety prevention and control system, building a unified command, specialized and regular, responsive, and vertically and horizontally linked emergency management system, optimizing the national emergency management capacity system, and enhancing disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities. Since the 18th National Congress, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has continuously improved the functions of Party and state institutions and promoted modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. In March 2018, the CPC Central Committee issued the "Plan for Deepening the Reform of Party and State Institutions," deciding to establish the Ministry of Emergency Management. More than a year of practice has proven this to be a scientific institutional design. 02 On November 29, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the 19th collective study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and delivered an important speech on promoting the modernization of China's emergency management system and capacity. Xi Jinping emphasized that emergency management is an important part of the national governance system and governance capacity, responsible for preventing and resolving major safety risks, timely responding to and handling various disasters and accidents, and bearing the important mission of protecting people's lives and property safety and maintaining social stability. We should leverage the characteristics and advantages of China's emergency management system, learn from beneficial foreign practices, and actively promote the modernization of China's emergency management system and capacity. On December 1, the Ministry of Emergency Management held an expanded Party leadership meeting to convey and study the important speech spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping at the 19th collective study session of the Political Bureau. The entire system regards deeply studying and understanding Xi Jinping's important speech as an important political task and the fundamental premise and guarantee for doing a good job. 03 Premier Li Keqiang inspected the Ministry of Emergency Management and presided over a flood control and drought relief work meeting on July 19. Li Keqiang emphasized that emergency duty and disaster prevention and mitigation responsibilities are weightier than Mount Tai, and flood control and drought relief must not slacken or be negligent but must continue to be implemented effectively. Premier Li Keqiang attaches great importance to emergency management work and has issued multiple instructions and deployments. Important instructions were made at the national safety production teleconference on January 9, the national forest and grassland fire prevention and flood control teleconference on March 28, the national key area flood control and drought relief work meeting on June 21, the national safety production teleconference on July 26, the national autumn and winter forest and grassland fire prevention teleconference on September 6, and the national safety production teleconference on November 22. 04 The first anniversary of the establishment of the national comprehensive fire and rescue team saw a series of new management measures and support policies introduced. On November 9, the national comprehensive fire and rescue team celebrated its first anniversary. Han Zheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, attended a symposium to deeply study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's flag presentation and instructions to the team, fully affirming the achievements in team building and emergency management work. State Councilor Wang Yong attended the national comprehensive fire and rescue team competition and fire rescue practical exercise. In 2018, the public security fire brigade and the armed police forest brigade were reorganized to form the national comprehensive fire and rescue team. On November 9 of that year, General Secretary Xi Jinping presented the flag and gave instructions to the team. Over the past year, under the close care and high attention of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, a series of new management measures and support policies have been introduced. As the main force and national team for emergency rescue, this team faithfully practices the spirit of Xi Jinping's flag presentation and instructions, aiming at "all disaster types, large emergency," accelerating transformation and upgrading, and undertaking comprehensive rescue responsibilities for preventing and resolving major safety risks and responding to various disasters and accidents. 05 Legal and regulatory reforms in emergency management continue, with law enforcement and legal education advancing, improving governance capacity according to law. On March 2, State Council Order No. 709 revised the "Regulations on Natural Disaster Relief" and the "Regulations on Earthquake Safety Evaluation Management." On April 1, the "Regulations on Emergency Response to Production Safety Accidents" (State Council Order No. 708) came into effect, stipulating the emergency response system, preparedness, and rescue for production safety accidents. On April 16, the Ministry of Emergency Management, Ministry of Public Security, Supreme People's Court, and Supreme People's Procuratorate jointly issued the "Measures for the Coordination of Administrative Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice in Production Safety." On April 23, the 10th meeting of the 13th National People's Congress Standing Committee decided to amend the "Fire Protection Law of the People's Republic of China."

On December 28, the 15th meeting of the 13th National People's Congress Standing Committee passed the newly revised "Forest Law of the People's Republic of China," clarifying that the national comprehensive fire and rescue team undertakes national forest fire fighting and prevention tasks. 06 The national safety situation remained stable, with total production safety accidents, major accidents, and particularly serious accidents all showing "three declines." In April, provincial government safety production and fire work assessments and inspections were conducted. The "Guidelines for Safety Risk Investigation and Management in Chemical Parks (Trial)" and "Guidelines for Safety Risk and Hazard Investigation and Management in Hazardous Chemical Enterprises" were released. On November 13, Premier Li Keqiang presided over a State Council executive meeting to hear reports on the investigation of the Jiangsu Xiangshui "3.21" accident and accountability review, deploying special rectification on safety production, especially hazardous chemical production management.

On November 26, the State Council Jiangsu Safety Production Special Rectification Supervision Team entered Jiangsu. Over the year, the emergency management system widely carried out "four no and two straight" inspections, conducted "physical examination" style supervision on high-risk coal mines, safety demonstrations for mines with disasters over 1000 meters deep, deeply investigated and managed safety hazards in hazardous chemicals, fire protection, and other industries, launched a nationwide unified online safety production reporting platform, and increased joint punishment efforts on the "blacklist." In 2019, the national safety situation remained stable, with total production safety accidents, major accidents, and particularly serious accidents all showing "three declines." 07 Emergency rescue and disaster relief were efficient and orderly, demonstrating the efficiency and strength of China's emergency response. Effective responses were made to the Shanxi Xiangning landslide, major forest fire in Shanxi Qinyuan, 6.0 magnitude earthquake in Sichuan Changning, major landslide in Guizhou Shuicheng, super typhoon "Lekima," and major accidents such as the Jiangsu Xiangshui explosion and Sichuan Gong County coal mine water inrush. Especially Typhoon Lekima, the fifth strongest typhoon to land in China since the founding of the People's Republic, but compared to similarly strong and path-similar super typhoons, its disaster losses were minimized. Over the year, the Ministry of Emergency Management organized 293 disaster accident video consultations, initiated responses to 58 major disasters, and dispatched 383 working groups. The national comprehensive fire and rescue team mobilized 13.119 million personnel times, rescued 158,000 people in danger, evacuated 497,000 people, and protected property worth 24.22 billion yuan.

The National Institute for Natural Disaster Prevention was established, and the Safety Science and Engineering Research Institute was co-built. A safety skill improvement action plan for high-risk industries was launched, with 5.6 million personnel trained and assessed in three key posts nationwide. The first national disaster comprehensive risk census pilot was launched, naming 976 national comprehensive disaster reduction demonstration communities. 10 A wave of care and respect for fire rescue teams swept the country, creating a strong social atmosphere of "praising and honoring heroes." In 2019, 40 fire fighters and emergency management cadres sacrificed their precious lives nationwide. On March 30, a forest fire occurred in Yalongjiang Town, Muli County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province. During firefighting and rescue, 31 heroes, including 27 forest firefighters, died heroically. Various places, platforms, and groups held overwhelming spontaneous memorial activities. After the rescue operations for the 6.0 magnitude earthquake in Changning, Sichuan, the landslide in Shuicheng, Guizhou, and the forest fire in Foshan, Guangdong, when fire rescue personnel withdrew, local people spontaneously came to offer drinks and food through the windows of fire trucks. Over the year, a wave of care and concern for fire rescue teams swept the country. Fire teams in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Jilin, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Henan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Chongqing, Xinjiang, and other places received various gifts and warm messages, creating a strong social atmosphere of "praising and honoring heroes."
