According to Ma Mechanics, director of the Certification Center of Huanxie (Beijing), since 1996, the quality certification of environmental protection products in China has gone through three stages. The certification of environmental protection products has completely changed from administrative certification to third-party resource certification, from compulsory certification to resource certification, and the product certification model has gradually improved into three steps: formal inspection, ex-factory inspection and goods supervision. In the management organization, the former Ministry of Environmental Protection decided to change to the Certification Supervision and Management Committee.
Ma Mechanics believes that these changes have promoted the rapid development of environmental protection product certification and achieved remarkable results. The certification results of environmental protection products have been widely recognized by environmental protection enterprises, environmental management departments, governments and users. The certification results have also brought a wide range of applications, such as online detection instruments, fume purifiers widely used in the catering industry, etc. When entering the market, if there is no product certification, enterprises and users generally will not choose this product.
In addition, the types and quantity of product certification are also increasing year by year. Take Beijing Certification Center as an example. By the end of 2009, they had been able to certify six categories of products, 14 1 variety, and issued 25 18 product certification certificates. Through the certification of environmental protection products, the quality management ability of the whole industry has been significantly improved, many environmental protection enterprises have been standardized and developed, the trade of environmental protection products has been promoted, the benefit of environmental protection investment has been improved, and the standard system of environmental protection products has been established and improved.
Although China's environmental protection product certification has been developed for more than ten years, Ma Mechanics still believes that the certification work is still slightly insufficient compared with the general trend of national development. Therefore, he suggested that publicity should be intensified to spread and publicize the certification knowledge to the society through media and other means of communication. Most importantly, the product certification system should be closely integrated with the national social economy, the development of the whole environmental protection industry, the national environmental protection policies and regulations, and the development direction of the national environmental protection industry, and more environmental protection product certification systems should be formulated.
