III. Relevant requirements

In response to the problems found in this national supervision and random inspection of product quality, the relevant provincial market supervision departments should promptly organize the handling of the supervision and random inspection results in accordance with the relevant requirements of the "Product Quality Law" and the "Interim Measures for the Administration of Supervision and Random Inspection of Product Quality", and promptly enter the handling situation into the e-CQS system. For unqualified products, measures such as sealing and seizure should be taken in accordance with the law, and production and sales are strictly prohibited; for suspected counterfeiting, unlicensed production, and failure to mark the factory name and address, investigation and evidence collection should be carried out through on-site inspections, inquiries, and review of contracts and invoices, etc., to find out the facts of the violation and deal with them strictly, quickly and severely. For the production and sales units of unqualified products, the rectification requirements should be clarified, the rectification measures should be strictly supervised and implemented, and re-inspections should be organized in a timely manner. For those who have failed two consecutive random inspections, on-site inspections and follow-up inspections should be carried out, and verification, interviews, and serious handling in accordance with the law should be implemented, and key supervision should be implemented. If the illegal acts are suspected of crimes, they should be transferred to judicial organs in a timely manner. We must urge the production and sales units that spot check unqualified products to fulfill their main responsibilities for quality and safety, assign quality and safety directors and quality and safety officers as required, establish a quality and safety risk list that meets the actual conditions of the unit, and implement a daily control, weekly inspection, and monthly scheduling work system. The General Administration will strengthen the follow-up supervision of the handling of spot check results and report as appropriate.
