- China launches a yearlong auto production compliance campaign targeting full-process quality and consistency.
- Regulators prioritize new-tech testing and ADAS validation, citing cybersecurity, AI safety, and real-world misuse risks.
- Inspections extend to suppliers, materials, production equipment, and marketing claims, with untested products facing market bans.
China hits the auto sector with a yearlong production consistency campaign, ramping up full-process quality oversight.
The MIIT, MPS, MEE, SAMR jointly issued the notice Aug. 27. Checks target four areas: production consistency, reliability, durability, new-tech validation.
New-tech testing receives top priority. Regulators scrutinize user habits, misuse risks, extreme operating conditions. Marketing claims must match actual performance.
New materials, new structures undergo scrutiny for defects, fatigue failure risks. For ADAS: checks focus on validation sufficiency, cloud data security, cybersecurity, AI safety risks.
Scope extends past finished vehicles. Checks probe supplier management, procurement, incoming inspections, component quality control. Production processes, inspection equipment, raw materials, supplier systems face review.
The move echoes MIIT’s prior policy signal.
MIIT promised governance reforms, group-based qualification management, stricter new-vehicle approval. Untested products face market bans; production consistency oversight ramps up.
The dual signals point to tighter lifecycle oversight, expanding from pre-launch validation to post-production compliance.
