The reporter learned today from the AQSIQ that since the implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law in the past decade, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has organized more than 700 recalls and recalled more than 15 million defective vehicles, which has played an extremely important role in improving the level of road traffic safety in China. In terms of vehicle quality and safety, China has formed a relatively complete mandatory national standards system for cars. As of now, 117 mandatory national standards for automobiles have been formulated and issued.
On May 1, 2004, the Road Traffic Safety Act was implemented. In the same year, AQSIQ jointly with the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, and the General Administration of Customs jointly issued the "Regulations on the Recall of Defective Automotive Products", which marked the official birth of China's first defective automobile recall regulations and created a precedent for China's product recall system. In 2012, the State Council promulgated the "Regulations on Recalling Defective Automobile Products", which further improved the recall system. According to statistics, in the past decade, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has organized and implemented more than 700 recalls, involving more than 15 million defective vehicles.
The road traffic law also clearly requires the socialization of safety inspections of motor vehicles. In 2006, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine issued the "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Motor Vehicle Safety Technology Inspection Organizations" to provide safety protection at the technical inspection level from the point of institutional innovation. According to statistics, as of the end of 2013, more than 3,500 security inspection agencies in China had obtained qualification certificates, were allowed to conduct safety inspections of motor vehicles, and issued notarized data to the public according to law. More than 3,500 motor vehicle safety inspection agencies are responsible for the inspection tasks of hundreds of millions of motor vehicles. The quality inspection department has strengthened supervision, and has made a good inspection and clearance for the protection of road traffic safety.
In the past decade, the quality inspection and standardization department has also actively revised various standards concerning road traffic safety, and has issued direct and indirect technical standards as many as several hundred.
Liu Zhaobin, chief engineer of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said that in terms of protecting occupants and pedestrians in vehicles, China's mandatory national standards for safety belts and child restraint systems for adult vehicles have reached the international advanced level. Standards for car brakes, steering, lighting, wheels, and tire assemblies, as well as seats, door locks, and other national standards have been basically completed to protect the safety of various personnel.
In terms of vehicle quality and safety, China has formed a relatively complete mandatory national standards system for cars, covering basically all aspects of safety, environmental protection, energy conservation, and theft prevention. According to statistics, as of the end of March 2014, China has formulated 117 mandatory national standards for automobiles, including 34 active safety technical standards, 29 passive safety technical standards, 30 general safety technical standards, and 24 environmental protection and energy conservation standards.
Liu Zhaobin said that in terms of road safety, China has also formulated a series of standards for improving road facilities, design, construction, safety evaluation, signs, signs, and safety protection facilities, and played a basic supporting role in ensuring road traffic safety.
