On July 26, 2021, the Ministry of Transport of the People’s Republic of China issued two supervision and spot check rules for two sectors of transportation-related products. Details of the two documents are as follows:

1.         Implementation Code of Industrial Quality Supervision and Spot Check for Satellite Positioning Vehicle-Mounted Terminals on Road Transport Vehicles.

It applies for four kinds of vehicle-mounted vehicles: passenger, freight, vehicle for transport dangerous goods and trailers. It articulates specific testing requirements (sampling method, quantity and disposal etc.), along with the specifications and testing method. The document also provide the forms used in the testing process. 

2.         Implementation Code of Industrial Quality Supervision and Spot Check for Plastic Bellows Used For Pre-stressed Concrete Bridges

This implementation code is the benchmark for transportation administrations on all levels to carry out quality supervision on this product. The code depicts all necessary aspects for the supervision and review process, including: product category, definitions, testing principle, sampling requirements, scoring and evaluation rules etc.

The documents have come into force as of the publishing date. Such product manufacturers within the Chinese market share are advised to double check current product specifications to make compliance actions if necessary. MNCS whose products or equipment are in use of such goods are suggested to check with suppliers on the to-be-shipped orders to make sure all arriving components/products fit the quality supervision requirements.
