Since January 1, 2008, China began to investigate food and related products that failed QS (Quality and Safety) audits without a license, including 39 kinds of food plastic packaging, containers, tools and other products. It is understood that if this system is put in place, the elimination rate for the food plastic packaging industry will be more than half.
According to the AQSIQ, the investigation will be very strict. From January 1st of this year, any product that fails to pass the QS audit, the product can not be affixed QS logo; related products that have no QS logo produced on January 1st will not be circulated and sold in the market; QS logo dealers penalize. As the system strictly controls the distribution process, many companies started their audit work in the first half of 2007.
"We passed the review on December 28, 2007. We have calculated that we have invested more than 2 million yuan for the audit." Shen Lan, manager of Beijing Lanjie Industry & Trade Co., Ltd. said. The QS audit has very strict requirements on food and food packaging. This is a difficult task for plastic food packaging companies that have previously set up factories based on common factory standards. According to Shen Yu, "from the warehouse to the factory building, it was basically rebuilt."
Compared with Lanjie, some weaker companies are less fortunate. In particular, some companies have small scale and low profit industries. There are very few companies that have passed the audit. Taking the plastic woven bag industry as an example, according to Wang Yongren, director of the plastics section of the China Plastics Association Expert Committee, only nine companies in the industry have passed the QS audit. "The implementation of the QS system is very beneficial to the integration of industry resources. It will eliminate a large number of outdated production capacity." He said, "But another problem is that there are too few enterprises that have passed the review and the production capacity can not meet the market demand completely. The plastic woven bags are in the food field. Mainly used for flour, rice packaging, if there is insufficient supply will cause serious problems."
It is understood that the current AQSIQ QS unlicensed investigation focuses on 28 kinds of food, and the investigation and handling of food plastic bags has not yet officially started, and it is possible to use 1 to 3 months as a transitional period. “The QS logo has not yet begun to be checked on the market. Our current goods are all last year, and people who come to get goods do not specifically require the QS logo.†said Li, the owner of Fairview Land Wholesale Market.
Unlike the major wholesale markets of the Fairview Land, which mainly face restaurants and street vendors, the customers of Beijing Yanqi Central Chemical Co., Ltd. are mainly food factories and supermarkets. Pan Jiayi, general manager of the company’s general affairs department, said: “Some users have already proposed to have the QS logo, especially for large food factories, and the special-purpose trays for use require the QS logo. It turned out that we were not able to squeeze in some small plants. Plastic bag QS investigation began, the days of obtaining a certificate of the company were very good.†Pan Jiayi is very optimistic about the prospects.
"If the investigation work can be carried out as soon as possible, it will be more beneficial to the certified companies." Liu Guanqing, chairman of Shenzhen Xunbao Investment Development Co., Ltd., said, "Our company passed the QS audit in August last year, and the price competition in Shenzhen is more severe. The companies that have passed the review are all large enterprises. Once they are investigated and dealt with one day, those counterfeit and inferior products can be cleared out of the market one day ago.†Shen Jie of Lanjie Company also stated: “We have all been squeezed by low-quality, low-quality products for many years. If we talk about price alone and quality, we are at a competitive disadvantage."
However, at the same time, the reporter learned that some small companies that are unable to pass the QS audit have already made preparations for a “guerrilla warfare.†The common feature of these types of enterprises is that they are of a very small scale and basically have no rectification capabilities. A Beijing-based company official who produces disposable plastic bowls told reporters that he had calculated that he would spend nearly 200,000 yuan to pass audits and that companies simply cannot afford to pay. "As long as it is not strictly enforced, someone will buy it, I will dare to produce it." This has almost become the general idea of ​​such enterprises.
Dong Jinshi, special expert of the National Environmental Protection Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, said that at present, there are 1280 enterprises in the food plastic packaging industry in China that have passed the QS certification. If more than 1,500 companies are reached, they can basically meet the market demand. He believes that in the long run, China's QS system will continue to be perfect and rigorous, and those companies that fail to pass the audit will eventually be eliminated.
