If non-compliant explosion-proof instrument products are encountered, which authority should be reported to?
Thread Content
The importance of explosion-proof products is self-evident. Nowadays, there are some foreign agencies that offer services related to issuing explosion-proof certificates, especially EMC agencies; these agencies issue certificates for a large number of products in China that do not meet the required standards, issuing SIL certificates as well as explosion-proof certificates. All they need is money from you – they will issue the certificates without even checking the products; in fact, they would issue a certificate even for a piece of brick. Wont this lead to bad money driving out good? If it takes us 3 months and 30,000–40,000 yuan to obtain a certificate, while he can get one in just a week for around 10,000 yuan, then what’s the point of obtaining explosion-proof certificates, NEPSI, PCEC, and so on? It’s better to close down early
It doesn’t work; it defaults to using the existing institution
According to regulations, explosion-proof products must obtain an explosion-proof certification in the domestic market before they can be produced and sold; the explosion-proof certification for imported products also needs to be converted into a domestic one
The key is companies like NEPSI and PCEC – they are state-owned enterprises. Their bureaucracy doesn’t care about matters outside their sphere of responsibility, and they have many channels of communication with the relevant regulatory authorities; therefore they should actively participate in combating such issues. We small companies, on the other hand, can’t even find out where the offices of these regulatory bodies are located
During the pandemic, I heard there was a State Council mini-program through which one could file complaints, and the local street offices would come to resolve the issues right away. Can the OP give it a try?
Thinking about it, it’s true – we spent over a year on it; money isn’t the issue here, but it was a tough process to obtain the NEPSI certification. During that time, we even avoided taking on orders for explosion-proof products, being extremely cautious. Sometimes it’s actually not as good as those who spend tens of thousands of yuan on a certificate – they give you the certificate right away upon payment, and you can pick it up after placing the order. .
In China, the 3C certification for explosion-proof products is very strict; any product that carries an explosion-proof mark as well as a 3C mark must have its information in Chinese. The logo and model number must match those specified on the 3C certificate. In addition, the local market supervision authorities conduct regular inspections of factories to check the relevant documents and the conditions of production. Once any non-compliance is detected, the license is immediately suspended, and re-certification is required. No one who knows their stuff recognizes certifications like EMC; even if you don’t know much about it, a quick search online will show just how worthless such certifications are. If that doesn’t work, check with the State Administration for Market Regulation – certifications that aren’t registered are basically fake. You know, when a major safety accident occurs with explosion-proof products, those responsible are immediately held accountable; the audacity of such people is truly astonishing. :L
Reputable companies have to do this; just by looking at your numbering, it’s clear that you’re a legitimate business. You also need to obtain a CCC certificate. I miss the era of the National Industrial Product Production License – even though it wasn’t around for very many years – having dozens of NEPSI certificates hanging on the wall gave me a sense of confidence:D
When bidding, no one really cares about this; they just go for the lowest price, or use that low price to pressure you to lower your own bid – the contractor ends up in a very unfavorable position.
The chaos in the market, coupled with managers’ failure to act, brings huge profits to speculators – what should be done?
