MIIT: Preventing Unreasonable Innovative Automotive Products from Entering the Market
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) stated on October 20 that it will resolutely prevent automotive products with unreasonable innovative designs that have not undergone sufficient research, development, and testing from entering the market. Chief Engineer Wang Weiming said at a press conference that products which are not declared as required or have insufficient testing and verification will not be granted market access, thereby safeguarding product safety.
The notice requires that innovative designs such as hidden door handles, soft-close doors, and virtual controls be included in market access management. Soft-close doors must be equipped with anti-pinch functions, and the use of zero-gravity seats, rotating seats, and similar features while the vehicle is in motion is prohibited. Additionally, 22 recommended standards have been upgraded to mandatory requirements, with reliability tests covering no less than 30,000 kilometers.
