China's Four Ministries Summon Vehicle Makers to Strengthen Product Safety and Crack Down on Illegal Modifications
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and State Administration for Market Regulation jointly organized a symposium with key manufacturers of trucks, buses, special-purpose vehicles, trailers, and motorcycles. The meeting addressed vehicle product safety, highlighting issues such as illegal modifications, 'large tonnage with small license plates' (大吨小标), and 'large tank with small label' (大罐小标) that endanger road safety and damage the Chinese brand image. The departments urged manufacturers to resist irrational competition, strengthen compliance, and conduct thorough safety risk inspections. Key requirements include ensuring production consistency, improving quality certification systems, enhancing testing and verification capabilities, and banning unverified 'radical innovation' or illegal structural changes. The four departments will intensify supervision, conduct inspections, and publicly expose violators. The meeting is part of a broader 'Quality Improvement Special Action' for road motor vehicles, following a similar session with passenger car makers.

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and State Administration for Market Regulation jointly convened a symposium with major truck, bus, special-purpose vehicle, trailer, and motorcycle manufacturers. The meeting briefed participants on the vehicle product safety situation and deployed key tasks including product safety hazard investigations and supervision inspections. The meeting demanded that auto and motorcycle manufacturers resolutely resist non-rational competition, safeguard the bottom line of product safety, and maintain a fair competitive market order. Specific requirements included: 1) Strengthening product safety主体责任 (primary responsibility) and compliance awareness, strictly applying for product access according to the Announcement management requirements, and resolutely combating illegal modifications, 'large-tonnage small-label' (大吨小标), and 'large-tank small-label' (大罐小标) violations. 2) Conducting in-depth safety risk hazard investigations across their own enterprises and key component suppliers regarding production consistency, reliability, durability, and testing verification. 3) Strengthening production consistency assurance capabilities, improving certificate management systems, and enhancing incoming inspection of key components and final vehicle inspection. 4) Enhancing vehicle function testing verification and safety assessment, and strictly prohibiting 'radical innovation' lacking scenario verification and 'illegal structures' suspected of illegal modifications or overloading.

On September 24, four Chinese government ministries (likely MIIT, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Transport, and State Administration for Market Regulation) convened a symposium with major manufacturers of trucks, buses, specialized vehicles, trailers, and motorcycles. The meeting briefed attendees on the current vehicle product safety situation and deployed key tasks including product safety hazard investigations and supervision inspections. The meeting emphasized that recently, some automobile and motorcycle products have shown deficiencies in production consistency and testing verification, and even engaged in illegal modifications, 'large tonnage with small label' (overloading vehicles understated on paper), and 'large tank with small label' (tank capacity understated) violations. These behaviors endanger road traffic safety and damage the image of Chinese brands. The ministries urged all vehicle manufacturers to learn from these cases, firmly establish a 'safety first, quality foremost' philosophy, and take responsibility for ensuring product quality safety and protecting public safety and citizens' life and property.

On September 24, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and State Administration for Market Regulation jointly held a symposium with major truck, bus, special vehicle, trailer, and motorcycle manufacturers. The meeting reviewed vehicle product safety conditions and deployed key tasks including product safety hazard inspections and supervision checks. The four departments demanded that manufacturers resolutely resist irrational competition, uphold product safety baselines, and maintain a fair competitive market order. Specific requirements included: taking primary responsibility for product safety and compliance, strictly adhering to vehicle announcement management rules, and cracking down on illegal modifications, 'large tonnage with small labels,' and 'large tank with small labels' practices; conducting thorough safety risk self-examinations across production and supply chains; strengthening production consistency assurance capabilities, including certification management and traceability; and enhancing vehicle function testing and safety validation, warning against 'radical innovation' lacking scenario verification and illegal structures. The four departments will intensify joint efforts, carry out quality improvement campaigns, conduct inspections on key manufacturers and testing institutions, and publicly expose violators to ensure vehicle product safety and promote high-quality development of the auto and motorcycle industries.

On September 24, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that four government departments—the Equipment Industry Division of MIIT, the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, the Atmospheric Environment Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the Quality Development Bureau of the State Administration for Market Regulation—jointly organized a meeting with key manufacturers of trucks, buses, special-purpose vehicles, trailers, and motorcycles. The meeting addressed recent violations in production consistency and testing verification, including illegal modifications, 'big ton small mark' (underreporting vehicle weight), and 'big tank small mark' (underreporting tank capacity), which the authorities said endanger road safety and damage China's brand image. The departments issued four requirements: manufacturers must assume primary responsibility for product safety and comply with公告 (public announcement) management requirements; conduct thorough safety risk self-inspections covering production consistency, reliability, and durability; strengthen production consistency assurance capabilities including certification management and traceability; and enhance vehicle function testing and safety evaluation, prohibiting 'radical innovation' lacking scenario verification and illegal structural modifications. The four departments announced they will intensify joint efforts in the quality improvement campaign, conduct inspections on key vehicle manufacturers, strengthen management of vehicle inspection institutions, and publicly expose violators. The meeting was attended by over 30 key vehicle manufacturers, along with industry associations and the Equipment Industry Development Center.
