MIIT Inspects Chery, NIO, and JAC for Production Consistency and Safety Assurance

From July 30 to 31, the Department of Equipment Industry I under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) conducted on-site inspections at Chery Automobile Co., Ltd., NIO Technology (Anhui) Co., Ltd., and Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group Corp., Ltd. to assess their capabilities in product safety assurance and production conformity as manufacturers of road motor vehicles. The inspections focused on whether these companies maintained required conditions for production authorization, particularly their capabilities in ensuring the safety of intelligent connected vehicles, design and development, manufacturing capacity, and production consistency. During the inspections, sample vehicles and traction batteries were randomly selected on-site and sent to relevant testing institutions for compliance verification against national standards. Going forward, MIIT will work with relevant departments to advance initiatives aimed at enhancing production consistency and quality of road motor vehicle products. This includes strengthening access review and test validation management for “aggressive” innovative automotive designs, urging automobile and motorcycle manufacturers to identify and address potential product safety risks, reinforcing testing validation and safety assessments, standardizing marketing and promotional practices, safeguarding the baseline of product safety, and protecting consumers’ legitimate rights and interests.
