.

 

　　7.
The main measures to guide the brand building of the inspection and testing industry?
 

　　In recent years, the branding and intensive development trend of China's inspection and testing market has been obvious.
There are 6,414 inspection and testing institutions above designated size (annual income of more than 10 million yuan), accounting for 13.
1% of the entire industry; 77.
4% of the industry; there are 481 companies with an operating income of more than 100 million yuan, 102 listed companies, and a large number of inspection and testing institutions with strong scale, level and ability have emerged
.
However, compared with advanced international counterparts, there is a lack of well-known brands that are truly well-known in the world, and there is still a lot of work to be done to achieve mutual recognition of inspection data and results with developed countries or regions
.
To this end, the "Guiding Opinions" proposed that it is necessary to guide industry brand building and focus on cultivating a group of well-known inspection and testing brands with international influence
.
One is to establish and improve policies and mechanisms for brand cultivation, development, incentives, and protection in the inspection and testing industry to create a good environment for the growth of inspection and testing brands

.

 

　　8.
Main measures to strengthen supervision during and after the event?
 

　　The State Administration of Market Supervision attaches great importance to the supervision of the inspection and testing market.
Soon after its establishment in September 2018, the State Administration of Market Supervision organized a special rectification action on "certification and testing chaos" across the country.
In 2019 and 2020, it will work with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, etc.
Relevant departments carried out supervision and inspection of "double random, one open"
.
Since 2018, a total of more than 45,000 inspections, inspections and testing institutions have been inspected, and nearly 30% of the institutions have been subject to administrative sanctions and penalties to varying degrees
.
After continuous rectification, the inspection and testing market order has improved, but irregularities in some areas are still prominent, especially in the areas of environmental monitoring and motor vehicle inspection
.

 

　　Credibility is the lifeline for the development of the inspection and testing industry.
In order to further standardize the order of the inspection and testing market and create a fair competitive market environment, the "Guiding Opinions" proposed that efforts should be made to strengthen supervision
.
The first is to improve the new inspection and supervision mechanism based on "double random, one open" supervision and "Internet + supervision", supplemented by key supervision, and based on credit supervision, and increase spot checks in key areas and high-risk areas.
Strengthen the supervision of online and offline channels, and severely crack down on illegal inspections
.
The second is to accelerate the integration of industry supervision and administrative punishment information of inspection and testing institutions into the national enterprise credit information publicity system, build a joint punishment mechanism for untrustworthiness, and increase the cost of illegal and untrustworthy
.
The third is to actively use smart supervision methods such as "Internet + supervision", "big data", and "cloud supervision" and technical measures such as proficiency testing and inter-laboratory comparisons to strengthen the innovation of supervision methods and enhance supervision efficiency
.

 

　　Inspection and supervision cannot rely solely on government departments to "do it alone".
It must rely on other forces to form a governance pattern that interacts with the government, enterprises, social organizations, and the public
.
The "Guiding Opinions" propose to strengthen industry self-discipline, strictly implement the main responsibilities of inspection and testing agencies, encourage inspection and testing agencies to make public commitments to the public, issue integrity statements, and open inspection and testing reports, and accept social supervision; promote the establishment of industry associations, chambers of commerce, etc.
Industry management self-discipline norms, self-discipline conventions and professional ethics standards, guide the industry to carry out self-discipline and self-supervision; optimize the 12315 platform service, unblock the public reporting channels, and ensure that the case must be investigated and the investigation must be fruitful; explore the establishment of "whistleblower" , Internal whistleblowers and other systems to encourage peer supervision
.

 

　　9.
The safeguard measures to promote the implementation of the "Guiding Opinions"?
 

　　The "Guiding Opinions" put forward five safeguard measures
.
One is to optimize the business environment
.
Persist in deepening the reform of “delegating management, delegating management to service”, fully implementing the “separation of licenses and licenses” reform work arrangements, and defining the scope of implementation of the qualification accreditation of inspection and testing institutions in accordance with the law
.
Comprehensively implement the notification and commitment system for the qualification accreditation of inspection and testing institutions, and strengthen the verification of the authenticity of the content of the institution's commitments

.
The second is to strengthen the protection of the rule of law
.
Promote the research on the legislation of inspection and testing management regulations, and further establish and improve the relevant laws and regulations system for inspection and testing
.
The third is to actively strive for support
.
Market supervision departments at all levels should actively seek the support of local governments and relevant departments, and strengthen coordination and communication with central departments in various industries
.
The fourth is to improve the statistical investigation system and industry operation monitoring and early warning working mechanism, and promote the establishment of industry monitoring work teams
.
The fifth is to strengthen publicity and guidance
.
Give full play to the role of news media such as newspapers, radio, television, and new online media, and combine important activities such as "World Accreditation Day" and "National Inspection and Testing Agency Open Day" to actively publicize the experience and effectiveness of inspection and testing services for high-quality economic and social development.
Great exposure to typical cases of inspection and testing violations of laws and regulations has made the pursuit of excellence, advocating quality, and integrity become the value orientation and spirit of the times in the inspection and testing industry
