On June 26, the Bao'an Bureau of the Shenzhen Market and Quality Supervision Administration conducted an in-depth guidance activity for grassroots enterprises. Invited by the Electronic Cigarette Committee of the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce, heads of various departments including the Standard Measurement Division, Quality Division, Intellectual Property Division, and Inspection Division attended to provide detailed explanations on product quality standards, intellectual property protection, standard formulation and reporting, and support and reward policy applications for e-cigarettes. The "E-Cigarette Industry Standardization Promotion Conference" is a good strategy for administrative agencies and industry associations to promote the standardized development of emerging industries, and it is of great significance.
What is the significance of the e-cigarette standardization promotion conference?
Jack Ma once said at the "Fourth World Zhejiang Business Forum" that the greatest standard for first-class enterprises is responsibility. To truly become a world-class enterprise, one must possess first-class vision, ambition, and responsibility. Encouraging enterprises to participate in industry construction through the formulation of industry standards boosts entrepreneurs' motivation to eliminate obstacles and promote development. This unprecedented unity in the e-cigarette industry, especially with the support of local government departments, has ushered in an unprecedented period of development.
As those in the e-cigarette industry know, there has been considerable controversy recently regarding product safety and health issues, and establishing a model image of industry standards is an urgent task. The local government’s support and timely intervention are the greatest support for local industries. Not to mention the local policies that offer rewards ranging from 3 million to 5 million yuan, just the personal guidance from relevant business leaders has greatly encouraged the industry. For example, Deputy Director Zheng Suihua of the Bao'an Bureau of Market and Quality Supervision suggested that enterprises enhance product quality and win by quality, strengthen standard awareness, and seize the right to speak on standards. Meanwhile, Director Rao Yuan of the Quality Division shared the "Industry Policies and Operating Procedures Related to the Quality Division," Deputy Director Ouyang Peng of the Standard Measurement Division shared the "Standardization Management Training for the E-Cigarette Industry," and Director Guo Weiming of the Intellectual Property Division shared the "Bao'an District Intellectual Property Support and Reward Policy Presentation," etc.
The other highlight of this e-cigarette standardization promotion conference is the implementation of the two industry standards formulated by the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce: "T/CECC 1-2017 General Specifications for E-Cigarette Atomization Devices" and "T/CECC 2-2017 Specifications for E-Cigarette Liquids." This is the first set of group standards for the e-cigarette industry in China, filling the previous gap in the standardization of the Chinese e-cigarette market, which has broad and far-reaching significance. The standard drafters Zhang Yuxin and Kuang Liping provided detailed explanations on quality requirements, technical indicators, testing methods, after-sales service, etc., and introduced that the packaging of the Hengxin Group Yunxiang M1 pod has already marked the execution numbers of these two standards.
Shenzhen is an open and inclusive city, just like the administrative style of local government departments, which are bold in exploration and practical and efficient. The development of the e-cigarette industry benefits from the good ecological environment created by the local government, and the complete industrial chain has made e-cigarette companies and even the whole world reliant on Shenzhen. Shenzhen has become the largest production and export city for e-cigarettes in the world, leading the country in export earnings, and the attitude of Shenzhen's administrative departments is crucial for the development of e-cigarettes. Proper guidance, standardization, and promotion are important issues that authorities need to study deeply, along with full support and cooperation from industry associations.
