Haiwen & Partners has written a Thomson Reuters’ Practical Law Practice Note - Consumer Product Regulation and Safety: Overview (China) (the “Practice Note”)

Home>News>News>Haiwen & Partners has written a Thomson Reuters’ Practical Law Practice Note - Consumer Product Regulation and Safety: Overview (China) (the “Practice Note”)
海问律师事务所受邀为汤森路透（Thomson Reuters）旗下的Practical Law撰写《中国法下的产品监管和产品安全概述》（Consumer Product Regulation and Safety: Overview (China)）。
该文从宏观角度对中国法律框架下制造商、进口商、分销商和零售商在不同情境下需关注的产品质量安全法律法规进行了全面梳理，涵盖了新产品进入中国市场时、制定产品安全合规计划过程中，以及面对产品质量问题等各类情形下的法律要求及合规要点。
文章开篇对适用于消费品以及特定行业产品（包括汽车、食品、药品、医疗器械等）的产品质量安全法律法规进行了系统梳理，勾勒出监管版图。同时，详细介绍了负责执行这些法规的监管机构。
文章深入探讨了买卖合同中产品质量明示和默示条款，剖析了产品包装和产品标签的合规要求，以及触发产品质量披露义务的各类情形和相应的纠正措施。同时，文章还阐述了中国法下进口商对于外国制造产品应承担的产品质量义务。此外，文章进一步检视了生产商、进口商、分销商和零售商若未能遵守产品质量安全规定所需承担的法律责任，涵盖可能面临的侵权或违约责任、行政处罚以及刑事责任等多个维度。
文章在最后列举了中国产品质量安全的立法动态，包括2023年出台的《食品安全标准管理办法》和2024年出台的《中华人民共和国消费者权益保护法实施条例》等。这些法规的出台，对于强化产品质量安全监管、维护消费者合法权益具有深远且重要的意义，也为企业合规经营提供了新的法律指引。

该文由海问律师事务所上海办公室合伙人何凡、高级律师夏渟慧、杨熹晨律师和周翔宇律师撰写。若需获取该文的全文，可以点击阅读原文或访问网址https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/w-035-2464。

Haiwen & Partners has written a Thomson Reuters’ Practical Law Practice Note - Consumer Product Regulation and Safety: Overview (China) (the “Practice Note”).

The Practice Note provides a comprehensive overview of the key issues manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers must be aware of when introducing a new product into China, developing a product safety compliance programme, and facing a product safety hazard situation.
The Practice Note first outlines the key legislation for consumer and industry-specific products (such as automobiles, food, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices, etc.) and the regulatory authorities responsible for supervising it.
The authors then discuss express and implied terms in a purchase and sale contract, product packaging and labelling requirements, situations that give rise to disclosure obligations, and corrective actions. In addition, the Practice Note also covers importers’ obligations in relation to foreign-manufactured products. Furthermore, the enforcement of product safety in China including criminal and administrative sanctions and liability in contract and tort are examined.
The Practice Note concludes by highlighting recent legislative developments in China’s product regulation and safety legislation, including the Measures for the Administration of Food Safety Standards 2023 and the Implementation Regulations of the Law of the PRC on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests 2024. These regulations have far-reaching implications for strengthening product quality and safety supervision and protecting consumer rights and interests, and also provide the latest legal guidance for enterprises to operate in compliance.
The Practice Note was co-authored by He Fan (Partner), Xia Tinghui (Senior Associate), Yang Xichen (Associate) and Zhou Xiangyu (Associate) from Haiwen & Partners, Shanghai Office.
