Focus on Product Quality and Safety: "List of Key Industrial Products for Online Sales" to Publicly Solicit Opinions

People’s Financial News, March 20 — The State Administration for Market Regulation announced today that in response to persistent issues of online counterfeit sales and product quality safety, we will develop a “List of Key Industrial Products for Online Sales.” This list will be an important part of the “Regulations on Supervision and Management of Quality and Safety of Key Industrial Products for Online Sales.” The list will help effectively implement these regulations and will be open for public consultation soon.

The compilation of this list mainly considers the following factors: First, focusing on products with high online sales, prioritizing industrial products that are widely purchased and frequently used by consumers, such as electric water heaters and toys. Second, targeting safety and quality concerns, especially products with potential safety hazards, high non-compliance rates in supervision checks, or those prone to causing personal injury or property damage, such as electric bicycles and household gas stoves. Third, emphasizing practicality and effectiveness by considering the technical capabilities of e-commerce platforms in review and inspection processes to ensure all requirements can be implemented, such as safety helmets and portable power banks with verification codes.

The list will provide clear and specific guidance for e-commerce operators selling key industrial products, helping to further promote innovation and healthy development of the platform economy.
