**Report from the Reporter: He Bei, Beijing**
Recently, a major change is taking shape in China’s automotive industry. According to a report from the field, the management of vehicle production announcements and 3C certification are undergoing a significant merger. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) are working together to draft new regulations aimed at streamlining the process for automotive enterprises. These regulations, titled *"Regulations on the Administration of Production of Road Motor Vehicle Production Enterprises and Access to Products,"* are expected to simplify the current complex system.
Currently, the approval process for vehicle manufacturers involves multiple agencies, including the NDRC (for production announcements), AQSIQ (for 3C certification), and the former State Environmental Protection Administration (for environmental compliance). This fragmented structure has created unnecessary administrative burdens for companies. With the implementation of the *Administrative Licensing Law* last year, the government is pushing for a more integrated approach, particularly merging the announcement management with 3C certification.
To align with this reform, the industrial policy department of the NDRC is focusing on three key objectives: enhancing market-driven development, reinforcing government oversight, and promoting international integration. To achieve these goals, it's crucial to address three core issues: who will be responsible for regulation, what the regulatory scope should be, and how the rules will be implemented. This requires clear legal frameworks, detailed departmental regulations, and practical implementation guidelines.
One of the most critical aspects of the new access rules is the definition of entry conditions. According to reports, these include: compliance with laws and regulations, achieving a certain level of investment and production capacity, possessing independent R&D capabilities, having a strong sales and service network, meeting production standards, and maintaining a robust operational system.
Experts suggest that the most challenging condition to meet is the requirement for independent development capability. This means that companies must not only have a comprehensive database and internal knowledge systems but also set their own high-quality standards—higher than national requirements. They must also have a well-defined standardization system for production processes.
If these conditions are not met, companies may lose their eligibility for vehicle production or be forced to shift to other industries, such as modified car manufacturing. While the exact details of the new program are still under discussion, it's clear that independent innovation will become a central part of the access criteria. This shift is expected to significantly raise the overall quality and competitiveness of the automotive industry.
Moreover, this reform could eliminate long-standing practices like "buying shells and selling shells"—a term used to describe the purchase and resale of vehicle production licenses without real manufacturing capabilities. With stricter access rules in place, such loopholes will likely disappear, leading to a more transparent and efficient industry.
