    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] As China's requirements for "true, accurate, and complete" environmental monitoring data are becoming more stringent, the crackdown on fraudulent monitoring data has become more severe, and the standardization of the environmental monitoring industry has been qualitatively improved
    .

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    On June 9, 2021, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Manual on Accounting Methods and Coefficients of Pollution Caused by the Statistical Investigation of Emission Sources", which covers the accounting methods and coefficients for industrial sources, agricultural sources, domestic sources, centralized pollution control facilities, and mobile sources.
    A detailed analysis was carried out
    .

     

    Among them, the accounting method of industrial source pollutants and the accounting method of centralized pollution control facilities all mention the monitoring data method.
    The manual details the normative requirements and data usage requirements.
    The normative requirements are divided into automatic monitoring data and manual monitoring data.
    Norms
    .
    As China's requirements for "true, accurate and complete" environmental monitoring data have become more stringent, and the crackdown on fraudulent monitoring data has become more severe, the standardization of the environmental monitoring industry has been qualitatively improved
    .

     

    In 2017, the 35th meeting of the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reforms reviewed and approved the "Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Environmental Monitoring and Improving the Quality of Environmental Monitoring Data
    .
    " It is required to promote the implementation of the relevant regulations of "monitoring agencies and pollutant discharge units responsible for the authenticity and accuracy of monitoring data", and continuously improve the "whoever counts, who is responsible" responsibility traceability mechanism
    .

     

    Since then, three in-depth reform documents including the "Plan for the Construction of Ecological Environment Monitoring Network", "Guiding Opinions on the Pilot Reform of the Vertical Management System for Monitoring, Supervision and Law Enforcement of Environmental Protection Institutions below the Province", and "Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Environmental Monitoring and Improving the Quality of Environmental Monitoring Data", etc.
    It points out the direction for the reform of ecological environment monitoring
    .

     

      In order to consolidate the achievements of ecological environment monitoring, promote the resolution of various outstanding problems, and improve the business level of environmental monitoring service agencies, the work of supervision, inspection and random inspection has never stopped
    .

     

      In 2018, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Three-Year Action Plan for Supervision and Inspection of Ecological Environment Monitoring Quality (2018-2020)" to inspect the quality of monitoring data of monitoring agencies, pollutant discharge units, and operation and maintenance agencies
    .
    Approximately 200 eco-environmental monitoring agencies are randomly checked each year, including 20-40 monitoring agencies affiliated to the provincial, municipal, and county-level eco-environmental departments; about 100 motor vehicle inspection agencies, and 60-80 other socialized environmental monitoring agencies
    .

     

      May 31, 2021, market supervision bureau, Department of Natural Resources, Ministry of Ecology Environment, Ministry of Water Resources, the State Food and Drug Administration jointly issued the "Notice on organized 2021 annual inspection supervision and inspection bodies"
    .
    These include the joint implementation of special rectification actions for ecological environment monitoring agencies, focusing on entrusted inspection and testing activities such as self-monitoring of pollutant discharge units undertaken by ecological environment monitoring agencies, and focusing on random inspections of volatile organic compounds, heavy metals and other monitoring reports
    .

     

      Prior to this, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment also notified a number of cases of fraudulent use of automatic monitoring by key pollutants
    .
    In the same May, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment once again emphasized at a regular press conference that there is "zero tolerance" for falsification of monitoring data, and it will work with relevant departments to focus on "fidelity" and "anti-counterfeiting" with the other
    .
    This year, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security have launched a nationwide special campaign to falsify and falsify data from pollutant discharge units
    .

     

      At present, China has completed the collection of environmental quality monitoring powers, established the "who assesses, who monitors" operating mechanism, and has issued more than 1,200 monitoring standards in total, maintaining a high pressure on fraudulent behavior
    .

     

      Regarding the severe punishment of related violations, the "Criminal Law" can refer to regulations
    .
    The "Amendment to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China (11)" implemented on March 1, 2021 clearly amends Article 229 to:
     

      "Personnel of an intermediary organization responsible for asset evaluation, capital verification, verification, accounting, auditing, legal services, sponsorship, safety evaluation, environmental impact assessment, environmental monitoring, etc.
    , deliberately provide false certification documents.
    If the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years Or criminal detention and a fine; in any of the following circumstances, a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years and a fine shall also be imposed:
     

      "(1) Providing false asset evaluation, accounting, auditing, legal services, sponsorship and other supporting documents related to securities issuance, where the circumstances are particularly serious;
     

      "(2) Providing false asset evaluation, accounting, auditing and other supporting documents related to major asset transactions, where the circumstances are particularly serious;
     

      "(3) Providing false safety assessments, environmental impact assessments and other supporting documents in major projects or projects involving public safety, causing particularly heavy losses to public property, the country and the interests of the people
    .

     

      "Anyone who commits the acts mentioned in the preceding paragraph while simultaneously soliciting or illegally accepting other people's properties constitutes a crime, and shall be convicted and punished in accordance with the provisions of heavier punishments
    .

     

      "The personnel specified in the first paragraph are seriously irresponsible, and the documents issued by them are grossly inaccurate, causing serious consequences, and shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, together with or a fine
    .
    "
     

      Entering the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the ecological environment monitoring reform has determined to further clarify the business boundaries between government-owned monitoring agencies and social monitoring agencies, further clarify the responsibilities of inter-departmental eco-environment monitoring, and further clarify the powers and expenditures of central-regional eco-environment monitoring Responsibilities, optimizing the four key tasks of the provincial, municipal and county ecological environment monitoring operating mechanism
    .

     

      "Monitoring services with a strong administrative and supervisory nature must be directly undertaken by the monitoring agencies affiliated to government departments";
     

      "Part of public welfare monitoring services are open to the market";
     

      "The monitoring business of serving pollutant discharge units and individual citizens is fully open to the market
    .
    "
     

      At the same time, “specify the tasks of environmental quality assessment and monitoring, law enforcement monitoring, quality control, monitoring and law enforcement, etc.
    , or key links in the tasks, as the responsibilities of the monitoring agencies affiliated to government departments
    .

     

      Each perform its own duties and reasonably regulate, this will be the sustainable development trend of environmental monitoring work
    .
    The prerequisite for the sustainable development of the market is to bring into play the value of mutual assistance and mutual benefit of policies and environmental monitoring agencies.
    Whether it is to support the self-monitoring of enterprises or encourage social, ecological and environmental monitoring agencies to participate in it, "delegation" and "supervision" are not contradictory, and the enterprise shall bear The social responsibility of the company should be "should be fully borne"
    .

     

      At present, China is also striving to explore the environmental credit evaluation system of social environmental monitoring institutions
    .
    For example, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, has a preliminary structure and research as a pilot
    .
    In the future, the ecological environment monitoring work will continue to deepen.
    The Ministry of Ecology and Environment revealed that the "Regulations on Ecological Environment Monitoring" that is being formulated at an accelerated pace are also very exciting
    .
