Inspection and testing is an important part of the national quality infrastructure. It is a high-tech service industry, science and technology service industry and producer service industry that the state focuses on supporting the development. It plays an important role in service market supervision, improving product quality, promoting industrial upgrading, protecting the ecological environment and promoting the high-quality development of economy and society. On May 6, the General Administration of market supervision held a special press conference with the theme of "strengthening the supervision of inspection and testing institutions". In order to further promote the reform of simplifying administration and delegating power, combining decentralization and management, and optimizing services, the State Administration of market supervision has newly formulated and promulgated the measures for the supervision and administration of inspection and testing institutions, and revised the measures for the administration of qualification recognition of inspection and testing institutions. Among them, the measures for the supervision and administration of inspection and testing institutions will come into force on June 1.

According to statistics, by the end of 2020, there were nearly 49000 inspection and testing institutions in China, with an operating revenue of more than 357 billion yuan and 1.41 million employees. Nearly 567 million inspection and testing reports were issued that year, accounting for about 20% of the global market share. It is the fastest-growing and most potential inspection and testing market in the world. Dong Lequn, director of the accreditation and testing department of the State Administration of market supervision, said that while the rapid development, there are also some weak links in the reform, development, supervision and management of inspection and testing. In order to further improve the supervision and management system and improve the overall quality of service supply, the supervision and management measures for inspection and testing institutions have been newly formulated and the management measures for qualification identification of inspection and testing institutions have been revised.

A highlight of the measures for the supervision and administration of inspection and testing institutions is the strengthening of the main responsibility of inspection and testing institutions. Dong Lequn introduced that article 5 of the measures stipulates that inspection and testing institutions and their personnel shall be responsible for the inspection and testing reports issued, and it is clear that in addition to bearing administrative legal liabilities according to law, they must also bear civil and criminal legal liabilities according to law. As a departmental rule, the measures mainly specify the administrative legal liability of inspection and testing institutions and their personnel for violating the practice norms. According to the provisions of the civil code, product quality law and food safety law, inspection and testing institutions and personnel shall bear joint and several civil liabilities for the damage caused by their illegal issuance of inspection and testing reports. According to the relevant provisions of "crime of providing false supporting documents" in the criminal law, criminal responsibility for illegal acts of false inspection and detection is investigated, and there are also relevant precedents in judicial practice.

Optimizing market access service facilities is one of the main purposes of the revision of the administrative measures for the qualification of inspection and testing institutions. Xue Guoqin, a first-class inspector of the Regulations Department of the State Administration of market supervision, introduced that the revised Measures for the administration of qualification recognition of inspection and testing institutions not only clearly proposed that the qualification recognition of inspection and testing institutions should be subject to online approval, qualified market supervision and administration departments can issue electronic certificates for qualification recognition, but also reduced the overall qualification recognition license from 80 working days to 52 working days, The compression amplitude is 35%. Among them, the approval time limit is reduced from 35 working days to 22 working days, with a reduction rate of 37%; The time limit of technical review is reduced from 45 working days to 30 working days, with a reduction rate of 33.3%.

Dong Lequn said that the General Administration of market supervision attaches great importance to the supervision of inspection and testing. For three consecutive years, it has carried out "double random and one open" supervision and inspection with the Ministry of natural resources, the Ministry of ecological environment, the State Food and Drug Administration and other departments, inspected 43000 inspection and testing institutions, investigated and dealt with more than 6000 illegal cases, and revoked or cancelled 876 inspection and testing institutions, 21 cases were transferred to public security and judicial organs. In 2021, the State Administration of market supervision will still work with the Ministry of natural resources, the Ministry of ecological environment, the Ministry of water resources, the State Food and Drug Administration and other departments to jointly deploy "double random and one open" supervision and random inspection, and carry out key rectification on motor vehicle inspection, ecological environment monitoring and other institutions. Strengthen the connection between execution and punishment, and resolutely transfer those suspected of committing a crime to judicial organs for criminal responsibility.
