Those entities that no longer met the required standards or that seriously violated relevant regulations were dealt with accordingly. The relevant information regarding supervision and random inspections, as well as administrative penalties, in 2017 is reported as follows: I. Methods of supervision and random inspections (1) Supervision and random inspections after certification or delegation These inspections focus on the operation of the quality system, the quality of work (products), and resource conditions, and are carried out on certified manufacturing units, testing and inspection institutions, as well as appraisal and evaluation organizations. For this random inspection of certified special equipment manufacturing units and inspection and testing institutions, a \"double-random\" inspection mechanism was adopted, which involves randomly selecting the entities to be inspected as well as the inspectors to carry out the inspections. (II) Supervisory spot checks before certification issuance following evaluation: Supervisory spot checks before certification issuance following evaluation (hereinafter referred to as process supervision spot checks) focus on assessing the quality of the evaluation work, and are conducted as supervisory spot checks on entities applying for administrative permits for special equipment after the evaluation but before certification issuance. II. Supervisory sampling inspections (I) Sampling inspections of production units A total of 85 production units were subject to supervisory sampling inspections this time, including 10 boiler manufacturing units, 11 pressure vessel manufacturing units, 5 gas cylinder manufacturing units, 15 pressure pipeline component manufacturing units, 9 elevator manufacturing units, and 35 manufacturers of special-purpose motor vehicles for use in sites (factories). The main aspects of the random inspections carried out on special equipment manufacturing units focus on whether the units continue to meet the requirements for licensing, and whether the product quality complies with the requirements of safety technical specifications and relevant standards. Special attention is paid to changes in the units’ resource conditions, the operation of their quality assurance systems, and product quality control measures. Based on the results of the random inspections, most of the inspected units were able to carry out special equipment production in accordance with laws and regulations, safety technical specifications, and relevant standards, ensuring the quality of their products ； However, there are also a small number of units whose resource conditions deteriorate after obtaining the permit, whose quality assurance systems are not properly implemented, and whose product quality and safety performance decline, rendering them unable to continue to meet the requirements of safety technical specifications.
