Ensure that “quality inspection reports” stand up to quality checks. Li Sihui: Quality inspection reports are the “health certificates” of product quality, the “safety guarantees” for consumer behavior, and the “credit certificates” of the market economy. The whole society should pay more attention to quality inspection reports, and establish sound supervision mechanisms in accordance with the law. There is no need to send samples; one simply needs to place an order on the e-commerce platform, and a \"quality inspection report\" will be ready the very next day. Media investigations have revealed that on some fake \"inspection and testing reports\", not only is it falsely claimed that there is \"no detectable amount of formaldehyde\", but the terms such as \"CMA\" and \"CNAS\" indicating inspection and certification are also explicitly stated. In response to this, the official website of the State Administration for Market Regulation released news not long ago stating that, regarding the issue of some online shopping platforms allowing the purchase of quality inspection reports, it has ordered the relevant platform operators to fulfill their legal responsibilities and to take immediate action against online stores that sell fake reports. At the same time, market supervision authorities in Shanghai, Zhejiang and other regions have been instructed to conduct immediate investigations into the relevant institutions in accordance with the law, to resolutely crack down on the practice of issuing false inspection and testing reports, and to maintain market order. The purpose of applying for a quality inspection report is generally to have the product quality assessed and verified by a third-party institution. False or even fabricated quality inspection reports not only go against the purpose of such inspections, but the parties responsible for providing them, as well as those who fabricate them, may also be involved in colluding with unscrupulous businesses to deceive consumers. If, due to fraud by a few institutions or individuals, even quality inspection reports intended to enhance credibility become unreliable, it will lead people to doubt the content of such reports and to adopt a more cautious attitude. Over time, this will affect the credibility of the quality inspection industry itself. In this sense, the harm of fake quality inspection reports lies not only in fraud, but also in the fact that such behavior, which lacks basic professional ethics and a sense of responsibility, increases the cost of trust and enhances the uncertainty in market activities. The reason why some organizations and individuals dare to produce irresponsible fake quality inspection reports is, essentially, the pursuit of profit. Currently, many e-commerce platforms require product quality inspection reports before allowing items to be listed, yet they often fail to verify the authenticity of these reports. Against this backdrop, many businesses pay to obtain reports in order to pass the inspections. A quality inspection report serves as both an \"entrance ticket\" for products to enter e-commerce platforms and a new selling point for businesses to attract customers. Some organizations and individuals have taken aim at this \"business opportunity\" by offering fake quality inspection certification services. As a result, the platform, merchants, and certification bodies each pursue their own interests, creating a gray market ecosystem that ultimately harms the rights of consumers. In accordance with the Civil Code and other relevant laws and regulations, entities and personnel in inspection and testing agencies who falsify test results or issue false reports may be subject to fines, having their inspection and certification qualifications revoked, or being ordered to bear joint civil liability. In severe cases, they may face criminal prosecution under the charge of \"providing false documentary evidence\". Laws must be followed, enforcement must be strict, and those who violate the laws must be held accountable. Only by significantly increasing the cost of breaking the law can we enhance the deterrent effect and effectively curb such disorders. The efforts by the relevant authorities to urge platforms to fulfill their responsibilities and order strict investigations into fraudulent organizations will undoubtedly help to eliminate corruption and standardize market order. At the same time, industry associations and quality inspection agencies adhere to rules and exercise strict self-discipline, striving to ensure that every quality inspection report meets market standards and earns public trust, so as to jointly promote the healthy development of the industry. A quality inspection report is the \"health certificate\" for product quality, the \"safety guarantee\" for consumer behavior, and the \"credit certificate\" for the market economy. The existence of related issues does not mean that we don’t need quality inspection reports. On the contrary, as people have higher expectations regarding product quality, and with the growth of online shopping and virtual transactions, scientific and thorough quality inspection reports serve as an important reference for consumers when making purchasing decisions. For this reason, the whole society should pay more attention to quality inspection reports, and establish sound supervision mechanisms in accordance with the law to ensure that the entire industry operates in a regulated manner within the framework of the rule of law.
