Daily-use products face inspections
( 2003-11-17 11:17) (China Daily)
Authorities plan to inspect more everyday products
to ensure quality and reduce counterfeits, China Daily learned over the weekend.
The General Administration of Quality, Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine
said inspectors in Tianjin Municipality and in Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian
and Guangdong provinces will scrutinize firms that produce disposable tissue
paper. These areas are the main producers of such paper products, said the
administration's spokesman Huang Chunsheng.
The administration will also continue to campaign against shoddy food
products such as low-quality soy sauce, vinegar, edible oil and grain products.
Each autumn, when pupils enter kindergartens and students enter colleges,
quality inspectors help educational institutions check the qualities of
mattresses to eliminate substandard cotton products.
In China, pupils usually sleep at kindergarten at noon and college students
are accommodated on campus, so they need cotton wadding mattresses.
Huang said another key task is to monitor those small-scale and substandard
firms which produce poor-quality oil products.
Over the past two years, the administration has mobilized regional quality
inspection departments to fight counterfeits, according to its Department of
Enforcement and Supervision.
Sales of counterfeit products are reducing in small commodity markets in East
China's Zhejiang Province and automobile spare parts shops in Northeast China's
Changchun Province.
