Regulations on the management of motor vehicle emission recall issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the General Administration of Market Supervision

CCTV News:The General Administration of Market Supervision and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment recently issued the Regulations on the Management of Motor Vehicle Emission Recall, which extended the product recall from safety recall to emission recall and effectively played the role of emission recall in protecting and improving the atmospheric environment and safeguarding human health. The regulations will be officially implemented on July 1, 2021.

According to the Regulations on the Management of Motor Vehicle Emission Recall, the producer’s emission recall obligation is basically the same as the safety recall, and the producer is required to report the name of the emission parts, warranty period and other information. The eco-environment department at or above the municipal level is responsible for collecting and analyzing information on motor vehicle emission inspection and testing, pollution control technology information and emission complaints and reports, and reporting information that may be related to emission risks to the Ministry of Eco-environment step by step, and strengthening information sharing with the General Administration of Market Supervision. The General Administration of Market Supervision is responsible for establishing the motor vehicle emission recall information system, accepting the report of the producer’s recall plan, announcing the recall information to the society, and carrying out information and technology consultation, defect investigation and identification, supervision of the implementation of the recall, effect evaluation and ordering the recall together with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. At the same time, it is clear that motor vehicle producers or operators who violate the relevant obligations of the Regulations on the Management of Motor Vehicle Emission Recall will be ordered by the market supervision and management department to make corrections and be fined up to 30,000 yuan. Compared with the penalty requirement of safety recall, the prerequisite of "overdue correction" is removed, and the authority and compulsion of "Regulations on the Management of Motor Vehicle Emission Recall" are improved. At the same time, it is proposed that the information of ordered recall and administrative punishment should be included in the credit file and announced to the public according to law, with the aim of enhancing the awareness of quality integrity of enterprises and forming a mechanism of trustworthy incentive and disciplinary action against dishonesty.
