On March 26th, an article published in the People's Daily, entitled “Permits, Increased Vitality” increased the interest of people from all walks of life. The article mentioned that the “Government Work Report” pointed out that it is necessary to significantly reduce industrial production licenses and strengthen products. Quality Supervision. This is another important step since the last year in June last year.
According to China National Grid, nine months ago, when Premier Li Keqiang presided over the State Council executive meeting, he decided to cancel and deregulate a number of industrial product production licenses, simplify the approval process, and reduce the number of products subject to production license management from 60 to 38. Class, to promote manufacturing innovation and quality improvement. The “Government Work Report” pointed out that in the future, the government will cancel the 38 categories of products that continue to implement the production license management, decentralize the batch, and expand the areas and products that try to simplify the approval process. Scope, select some regions to carry out post-certification regulatory reform pilots, in order to further stimulate the manufacturing companies to improve the quality and efficiency of the drive to promote our country from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power.
Whether it was the “License, 'Slimming' increase vitality” article promulgated by the People’s Daily, or the State Council’s executive meeting presided over by Premier Li Keqiang, the state is committed to solving the problem of “downsizing” the industrial production license. Concerned about the large refrigerator production license long-term suffering from the controversy over the refrigerator industry regulatory system.
After the Prime Minister named the refrigerator license, it was followed by the People’s Daily.
At the executive meeting of the State Council held on June 14 last year, Prime Minister Li Keqiang mentioned the case of an industrial production license and mentioned the license system of large refrigerators, saying that it not only overwhelmed the company, but also restricted the development of the manufacturing industry. In the article entitled “Permits, Weight Loss” and Vitality, published in the People’s Daily, the author also pointed out that the large refrigerator license system formed a constraint on the production of enterprises in the industry – the permit system. This pre-approval is not conducive to the enterprise's release of vitality, the review cycle is too long, there are many 'red tapes', companies need to run the department, find acquaintances, there are also problems such as duplicate licenses. This not only increases the company's time, money costs What is even more crucial is that it delays the time for new products to be listed on the market, and to a certain extent, it suppresses the enthusiasm of enterprises for the development of innovative products for medium and high-end products.
According to the reporter's understanding, in order to protect consumers' personal health and safety, China has implemented mandatory product certification (CCC) certification for most products (also known as 3C certification). In terms of refrigerator products, product quality safety supervision is currently accompanied by two sets of systems. Among them, a refrigerator with a rated effective volume of 500L or less implements a national compulsory product certification system, that is, a CCC certification system; a refrigerator with a rated effective volume of more than 500L (known in the industry as a 'large refrigerator') executes a production license system for industrial products.
As a refrigerator product, why are there two sets of regulatory systems? The reporter learned that this was mainly due to the fact that in the 1990s, China’s domestic refrigerators were mainly small-capacity refrigerators with a volume of 100L or more, and 500L or more were mainly used as commercial refrigerators. In order to strengthen the market In the "Announcement No. 9 of 2009" issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China (AQSIQ) in early 2009, it is clearly stipulated that 11 types of industrial products must implement a production license system, including refrigerators with a rated effective volume of more than 500L.
'Actually, judging from the market conditions at the time, there was no 'unconstitutional feeling' in the coexistence of the two sets of product quality and safety supervision systems. It was quite clear. 'A person in charge of a foreign refrigerator brand told reporters, 'In the 1990s, Chinese families There is not much use of refrigerators, and the volume of refrigerators used is also generally small. It is difficult to predict with the imagination at that time that household refrigerators with a volume greater than 500L will appear after 10-20 years, so two management modes are implemented for refrigerators. The historical conditions at that time were reasonable.
However, in the past more than 20 years, with the improvement of living standards of residents, more than 500L refrigerators have entered large numbers of households. The implementation of a production license system for large refrigerators is no longer in line with social development needs.
'In recent years, driven by consumer upgrading, second-child policy and other factors, large-capacity refrigerators have become more popular in the market. According to the market monitoring data of China Yikang, the share of retail sales of large refrigerators in 2017 has reached 35.09%, and was presented in the past five years. The trend is gradually rising. Refrigerators with a volume of 500L or more have gone into the homes of ordinary people, making the drawbacks of the production license system of large refrigerators even more prominent. 'An industry source said.
The drawbacks of large refrigerator licenses have become increasingly prominent. The industry is looking forward to 3C certification.
The system's drawbacks have become more and more prominent. The phenomenon that an electrical company mentioned by Premier Li Keqiang at the executive meeting of the State Council has reflected: The 'large refrigerators' and 'small refrigerators' produced by enterprises have no fundamental differences in their production processes and materials. However, they have to apply for two different licenses or compulsory certification, which greatly increases the burden on the company. Two kinds of access systems, two sets of management systems for enterprises, two sets of testing, which add a lot of burden, but the size of the refrigerator Accepting a unified management of energy efficiency labels, companies feel at a loss. 'An Anhui refrigerator company official also told reporters.
'This confusion is caused by historical reasons. We can all understand. As a company, we have repeatedly called on the relevant state departments to adapt to changes in the market and rationalize the regulatory system. ' For such a situation, a refrigerator manufacturer said.
In fact, in addition to the appeals and efforts of enterprises in the industry, according to the reporter’s understanding, the China Household Electrical Appliances Association has repeatedly reported to the relevant departments the “trouble” brought by the license system of large refrigerators to the enterprises in the industry. It hopes to solve this problem for the industry. Development removes obstacles.
'Since 2009, we have repeatedly reflected this issue to relevant departments, and we have been continuing to call for a solution to the catastrophic problem of the refrigerator's two product entry systems, canceling production licenses for large refrigerators, and following most products to 3C. Certification, to adopt the internationally accepted certification system. 'Relevant person in charge of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association told reporters.
At present, companies in the industry are eagerly awaiting the elimination of the large refrigerator permit system. Although the country has not yet explicitly announced when the large refrigerator production license system will be abolished, the above-mentioned person in charge of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association also told reporters, 'This time the government The work report just proposed the direction of industrial production permit reform, and it is unclear to what extent it can be implemented. However, the state’s concern about the license system of large refrigerators is an encouraging sign for the refrigerator industry. It is believed that with the continuous deepening of the country’s reform of the industrial product licensing system, the elimination of the large refrigerator license system that has plagued refrigerator companies for many years will also be just around the corner.
Yesterday, a person in charge of the R&D department of a refrigerator company told the China National Grid reporter: 'The company had just applied for a production license for a rated effective volume of 650L refrigerator last month. At present, the verification of large refrigerator production licenses takes more than four months, but the speed It's faster than the original. 'In his opinion, before the big refrigerators were introduced into the 3C certification system, the large refrigerator production license system was necessary, but if the large refrigerator license system could be converted to 3C certification, this would be a refrigerator company. Accelerating the time-to-market for new high-volume refrigerators is helpful (the longest time for 3C certification is only one month), which will also save some labor costs.
The above-mentioned person in charge of the R&D department of the refrigerator company also told reporters that canceling the license system of large refrigerators is particularly advantageous for small and medium-sized start-up companies because the existence of such a system will inhibit the flexibility and entrepreneurial enthusiasm of small and medium-sized startups. Although he stated that large refrigerators The cancellation of the licensing system has not had much impact on the companies that have already completed the application. However, he repeatedly stressed that 'cancer is definitely a good thing'. 'Because, according to the provisions of the large refrigerator permit system, we want to produce larger volume segments. Large refrigerators, companies need to submit applications to the relevant departments. If our company has applied for a production license with a rated effective capacity of 500-560L refrigerators, but if the company wants to produce BCD-588L refrigerators, it will need to apply again. There are many repetitive tasks. , will distract the enterprise energy. '
