The long-awaited "Interim Measures for the Management of Auto Parts Remanufacturing Regulations" (hereinafter referred to as the "Interim Measures") for the auto parts remanufacturing industry has been issued and implemented recently, and my country finally has rules and regulations that belong to the auto parts remanufacturing industry . This is not only an innovative industry regulation in our country, but also the only regulation system for the auto parts remanufacturing industry in the world.
The issuance of the "Interim Measures" is bound to have a huge impact on the auto industry and the entire society. It is also an important measure and a milestone event for the formal development of my country's auto parts remanufacturing industry. The issuance and implementation of the "Interim Measures" sounded The clarion call for the rapid development of my country's auto parts remanufacturing industry.
The "Interim Measures" is very timely and necessary
The outline of the "14th Five-Year Plan" clearly defines the "standardized development of the remanufacturing industry." 2020 is a critical stage for the development of my country’s auto parts remanufacturing industry. On September 1, the "Administrative Measures for the Recycling of Scrapped Motor Vehicles" was formally implemented, which clearly supported the development of auto parts remanufacturing and proposed “dismantling of scrapped motor vehicles”. If the five major assemblies are eligible for remanufacturing, they can be sold to enterprises with remanufacturing capabilities in accordance with relevant state regulations and remanufactured for recycling." This important measure provides a policy basis for the development of the auto parts remanufacturing industry, and the remanufacturing of auto parts has received unprecedented attention from all sectors of society. In December 2020, the number of domestic remanufacturing companies has grown rapidly, and remanufacturing has become a new hot spot sought after by the automotive aftermarket and the capital market.
The rapid development of the market has also brought new problems to the auto parts remanufacturing industry. Since the acceptance of the second batch of auto parts remanufacturing pilots by the National Development and Reform Commission in 2016, there has been no clear definition of “remanufacturing enterprise” or qualification requirements for remanufacturing enterprises in relevant Chinese laws and regulations, leading to remanufacturing of auto parts There is a vacuum zone in industrial management. There is no basis for the standardization and large-scale development of the industry, the disorderly development of the industry, the uneven level of enterprises, and the quality of remanufactured products cannot be guaranteed. If it continues to develop, the consequences will be disastrous, and it will not only destroy the social perception that has just been established. Degree, will also disrupt the order of my country's automotive aftermarket, and produce extremely bad social impact. From this point of view, the promulgation of the "Interim Measures" is very timely at this time. First, it clarifies the country's regulatory requirements for the development of auto parts remanufacturing business, regulates the production and operation behaviors of auto parts remanufacturing enterprises, and supervises and guarantees the quality of remanufactured products. Reaching the national standards provides a policy and legal basis for promoting enterprises to regulate the remanufacturing of auto parts.
It is worth mentioning that the introduction of the "Interim Measures" for the first time managed the remanufacturing of auto parts as an industry. Since 2005, the state has issued a series of macro-guidance documents affirming and supporting the auto parts remanufacturing industry. However, there is a lack of relevant functional departments’ guidance documents and management methods for the industry. Enterprises have encountered many difficulties in the actual production and operation process. And obstacles, such as industrial and commercial registration, fiscal and taxation policies, product testing and other issues severely restrict enterprises from becoming bigger and stronger. The Interim Measures will provide a policy basis for relevant functional departments to support the development of the remanufacturing industry.
In order to promote the healthy development of the industry, the "Interim Measures" clarified the guidance and coordination departments of the auto parts remanufacturing industry, clarified the supervision responsibilities of the market supervision, ecological environment, transportation and commerce departments, and clarified that auto parts remanufacturing enterprises should abide by According to the management requirements of the company, there will be rules to follow in product quality, after-sales service, and the delivery and sale of the "five major assemblies" of scrapped cars. This will fundamentally avoid the occurrence of bad money driving out good money, so that the industry will develop in a healthy and orderly manner.
The "Interim Measures" brings new opportunities to the development of the industry
my country's auto parts remanufacturing industry started late and had a low starting point. In the 1990s, as my country introduced European and American auto manufacturing technology and auto repair and maintenance models, the concept of auto parts remanufacturing gradually entered my country. In 1994, the former Ministry of Machinery, the former Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and the General Administration of Customs jointly approved the establishment of my country's first automobile engine remanufacturing enterprise, which opened the way for my country's auto parts remanufacturing. In 2005, the National Development and Reform Commission included the remanufacturing of auto parts in the circular economy pilot catalog. In 2008 and 2013, the National Development and Reform Commission identified 42 auto parts remanufacturing enterprises in two batches to carry out pilot work, explored the development path of my country's auto parts remanufacturing industry and related policies and measures, and promoted the agglomeration and large-scale development of the remanufacturing industry. the way. During this period, the state has successively issued programmatic documents supporting the development of the remanufacturing industry such as the "Circular Economy Development Strategy and Immediate Action Plan", "Circular Development Leading Action", and "Opinions on Promoting the Development of the Remanufacturing Industry". It is worth noting that, in order to standardize the production process and sales behavior of the pilot enterprises, the National Development and Reform Commission has also adopted measures such as the formulation of the "Quality and Technical Control Specifications for Remanufacturing Units" and the formulation of the "Auto Parts Remanufactured Product Mark". Production management, quality control, product labeling and technical specifications have made clear requirements to ensure the orderly and healthy development of the pilot work.
In the past 20 years, under the active promotion of national policies and the pull of my country’s automotive aftermarket, my country’s auto parts remanufacturing enterprises have been able to develop rapidly. The manufactured products are gradually accepted by Chinese consumers, and the products of some leading companies in the industry have also successfully entered the European and American markets.
Although my country's auto parts remanufacturing industry is developing rapidly, there has been a lack of clear regulations and management requirements for industry management, resulting in no rules for companies to follow, lack of market supervision, and obstacles to the development of the industry. The timely issuance of the "Interim Measures" has created favorable conditions for the standardized and large-scale development of my country's auto parts remanufacturing industry, and provided important support for the sustainable low-carbon development of my country's auto manufacturing industry and the huge auto stock market.
"Interim Measures" fully embodies the concept of innovation-driven development
The issuance of the "Interim Measures" is a concrete manifestation of accelerating the promotion of green and low-carbon development and realizing green production and a green lifestyle. The "Interim Measures" take multiple measures to promote the healthy development of the auto parts remanufacturing industry with high quality, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Regarding the qualification management of remanufacturing enterprises, the "Interim Measures" does not adopt administrative licensing means, but encourages remanufacturing enterprises to adopt the remanufacturing quality management system certification method to regulate the production and operation of enterprises and the quality of remanufactured products to meet national requirements. At the same time, it is proposed that industry associations should do a good job in industry self-discipline work in accordance with industry characteristics and market requirements. This move has transformed the previous administrative licensing method led by state functional departments into the internationally accepted practice of enterprise self-declaration and self-discipline of industry associations, thus putting the norms and requirements of industry development on the market as well as industry organizations, which fully reflects the deepening The concept of "decentralization, regulation and service" reform, optimizing the business environment, stimulating the vitality of market players, and developing endogenous power will bring greater vitality to the development of the industry.
At the same time, the "Interim Measures" also put forward clear requirements for remanufacturing companies, and standardized management from six aspects: remanufacturing companies' production specifications, old parts management, production management, product management, market management, and supervision and management. Taking the production behavior of remanufacturing enterprises as an example, the "Interim Measures" regulates all the main links, including: old part recycling capacity, old part testing and appraisal capacity, dismantling, cleaning, manufacturing, assembly, product quality inspection, etc. Technical equipment and production capacity, relevant waste treatment environmental protection requirements, remanufacturing technical quality standards and production specifications, remanufacturing management certification, etc. The "Interim Measures" also unifies the production standards of auto parts remanufacturing enterprises, regulates the production behavior of remanufacturing enterprises, provides guidance and guarantees for ensuring the quality of remanufactured products, and provides an accurate basis for market supervision.
The "Interim Measures" also clarified a number of measures to promote the development of the industry, using 3 "support" and 13 "encouragement and advocacy" to clarify the country's support measures for the auto parts remanufacturing industry.
It is worth noting that the "Interim Measures" specifically proposes to "encourage auto parts remanufacturing companies to provide quality assurance for remanufactured products by purchasing product quality liability insurance" and "support insurance companies to pass remanufacturing quality management system certification. "Enterprise products are included in the maintenance and spare parts system" and other management methods that deeply integrate insurance and remanufacturing industries. At present, the market promotion of remanufactured parts of my country's auto parts is only carried out in the after-sales maintenance market, and no effective promotion mode has been formed in the three guarantees and insurance claims with stable demand. The "Interim Measures" encourage auto parts remanufacturing companies to integrate with the insurance industry, and it is easy to form a closed-loop business development model of "blanks from insurance, products to insurance", thereby greatly increasing the market promotion and use of remanufactured products.
In addition, the "Interim Measures" also proposes "encourage automobile manufacturers to recycle old motor vehicle parts through the after-sales service system, and sell remanufactured products into their own after-sales system; encourage scrapped motor vehicle recycling and dismantling companies to recycle scrapped automobiles into the five general To be sold to remanufacturing companies that have passed the remanufacturing quality management system certification; encourage original product manufacturers to participate in the remanufacturing business; encourage auto repair companies to use remanufactured products from companies that have passed the remanufacturing quality management system certification; encourage government agencies, The army and other public institutions give priority to the use of remanufactured products in automobile maintenance; encourage consumers to use remanufactured products" and other incentives, promote the use of remanufactured products from the entire industrial chain of the automotive aftermarket, and fundamentally solve the problem of remanufactured products in the society. Industry pain points with insufficient awareness.
