Gasgoo Munich- On May 14, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the National Fire and Rescue Administration held a joint video conference. They aimed to strengthen safety management for new energy vehicles. The three agencies targeted safety accountability across the entire supply chain amid rapid growth. They ordered companies to elevate quality safety management to a "top priority for top management." This signals stepped-up regulatory oversight.
The meeting stated automakers and battery producers must bear primary responsibility for product quality. They must ensure detailed implementation of safety measures. Companies must tighten risk prevention across the full lifecycle. This covers R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, operational monitoring, and after-sales service. They must inform consumers and guide proper usage. Exaggerated or false advertising is banned. Regulators called for an internal reward mechanism to report risks. This aims to identify hazards and improve product safety at the source.
The three departments will collaborate with relevant agencies to strengthen coordination. They will refine regulatory measures. Priority will be placed on safety hazard screenings and defect investigations. A special campaign will enforce production consistency and quality improvements. Violators will face severe legal penalties. The initiative aims to use consistency checks and defect probes. This forces companies to adhere to compliance baselines. It also aims to improve the industry environment and ensure sustainable development of the new energy vehicle sector.
