Metering and Packaging (below)

Packaging label is not allowed
China's Provisions for the Measurement and Supervision of Prepackaged Commodity Measurements require that the net content be composed of Chinese, digital, and legal measurement units. There is no explicit requirement for labeling errors. Some of the company's products are marked with errors. Some companies’ products have been marked with errors, and individual companies have been incorrectly labelled for errors because they do not know the “Regulations” or do not understand the relevant requirements of the “Regulations”. In one case, the labeling error exceeds the allowable negative deviation of the “Regulations”, such as “net content: 30g±5g”, in which the error of -5g is seriously beyond the allowable negative deviation in the “Regulations” to be 9% (ie 2.7g) requirements. Second, the labeling error is less than the provisions in the "Regulations", such as the label "net content: 500ml ± 5ml" (the "regulation" allows a negative deviation of 15ml). ±5ml is the control standard used by enterprises for production. The error standard for the net content of general production standards of enterprises is several times stricter than the “Regulations”. Because individual companies lack understanding of the “Regulations”, the production standards are marked on the packaging. Objective reasons do not meet this standard and cause consequences.
Improper use of metering equipment
The improper selection and use of metering equipment and calibration metering equipment for product packaging caused the unqualified measurement of the net content of quantitatively packaged products. For example, a small food factory with a resolution of 10g package tolerance 4.5g product packaging, its net content is difficult to meet the standard requirements. Another example is a scale with a range of 500kg and a division value of 200g as the standard, and an electronic packaging scale with an index value of 20g is adjusted. This obviously cannot guarantee the accuracy and reliability of the package measurement. Some companies have misunderstandings in the verification and use of measuring instruments. For example, newly purchased measuring instruments are qualified at the factory and do not require verification; or the verification is regarded as routine, as long as the certificate does not look at the results; or it does not understand the correction. The net content of packaged goods is insufficient.
Packaging container quality problems
The country's special spot checks showed that the quality of packaging containers is one of the important reasons for the lack of net content of ration products. Such as glass bottled liquid products, due to the glass bottle manufacturers, production batches, or due to differences in the level of technology, often resulting in bottle weight, bottle wall thickness and other who are not the same, resulting in inconsistent bottle capacity. When filling, only the liquid level is controlled. Even if the filling machine can accurately quantify, in order to achieve the same liquid level, it is necessary to make more manual and less supplements. As a result, the actual net content of the packaged product is not uniform and the difference is large. The second reason is the leakage of packaging containers due to raw materials and processes.
Price speculation
Quantitative packaging country special spot checks found that a very few sellers collaborated with manufacturers, deliberately plundering less than two, on the one hand to deceive consumers, and on the other hand to lower the price of sales, use the price advantage to occupy the market in order to earn profits. For example, salad oil labeled 5L is deliberately loaded with only 4.8L, and it is sold at a price lower than the market price, naturally winning the market and expanding its market share. Such violations occur from time to time, seriously undermine and disrupt the market order, and must be strictly investigated and dealt with.
Poor market management
The special spot checks found that major and medium-sized shopping malls and supermarkets attached great importance to product quality, and strictly controlled counterfeit and shoddy goods, but did not pay enough attention to the general problem of lack of goods and services. Most companies lack the necessary measures for measuring and measuring the net content of commodities, and there is no special system for checking the net content of goods. This shows that the commercial industry lacks the learning and understanding of relevant laws and regulations such as the Provisions for the Measurement and Supervision of Quantitative Packaged Goods, and the lack of relevant normative measures and law enforcement in the circulation field. Coupled with the "big" tolerance of consumers, it is considered that "old" or "small things" are not pursued.
Inadequacy of quantitative packaging signs
Quantitative packaging special signs are the basic features of modern packaging. In 1995, the European Union began to use the quantitative packaging mark, followed by the United States, Japan, Canada and China. In 2001, the Organization for International Legal Measurement (OIML) also strengthened the management of quantitative packaged goods and began to implement the work on the international measurement mark certification system.
In 2001, in order to safeguard China’s socialist market economy, and to encourage quantitatively-packaged goods companies to strictly abide by the state’s provisions on quantitative packaging of goods, and in order to provide consumers with a deeper level of choice and protection, the Chinese government issued “quantitatively packaged goods production”. The Regulations on the Evaluation of Corporate Assurance Ability and the Regulations on the Evaluation of Assurance Ability of Quantitative Packaged Goods Manufacturers have decided to implement the “C” sign management system for quantitatively packaged goods in China in accordance with international practices. Quantitative packaging The implementation of the "C" mark is a great thing to benefit the country, the people, and the manufacturers. Manufacturers should be willing to adopt it, and consumers should welcome it. However, the implementation of the "C" mark is not yet satisfactory. Two years have passed since the "Regulations" and "Regulations" were issued. Only about 100 of the hundreds of thousands of quantitative packaging companies in the country have adopted the "C" mark. Many manufacturers are not active and even know nothing about the C logo.
Strengthen quantitative packaging measurement
improve publicity
Relevant departments at all levels in China must strengthen the dissemination of laws and regulations concerning the measurement of quantitatively packaged goods, and urge manufacturers to actively implement them. Businesses should cooperate with them to make consumers aware. To help quantitatively packaged goods manufacturers further strengthen their awareness of the legal system of measurement, and at the same time, they must step up implementation and strengthen the measurement and management of quantitatively packaged goods.
Sound management
Departments at all levels must fully understand that the quantitative supervision and management of quantitatively packaged goods is an important part of China’s socialist economic work and is an important part of the government’s legal measurement work. It is necessary to establish and improve the quantitative supervision and management mechanism for quantitatively packaged goods as soon as possible, and improve measurement and supervision management. System, strengthen measurement supervision and management.
Implementing the "C" mark
China's quantitative packaging of goods to promote the "C" mark work is to comply with the international trade trend. As the decision makers adopting the "C" mark are in the enterprise, the first one is to promote multi-products for quantitative packaged goods; the other is to promote more publicity to consumers. Because of the use of the “C” logo, sales of corporate products increase, and they will surely voluntarily adopt them. On the other hand, consumers in general know the function and significance of the “C” logo and consciously buy products bearing the “C” logo. The sales of goods will increase, and the enthusiasm of manufacturers for adopting the "C" mark naturally rises. Therefore, the propaganda focus of the "C" logo should be publicity for the general public and the general public. We must make consumers pay attention to the "C" mark (weight) as much as they care about price and quality when they purchase goods.
Seriously dealt with
According to the "Law of the People's Republic of China on Measurement" and the "Provisions on Penalties for Commodity Measurement and Illegal Behavior," the manufacturer shall be punished accordingly for the unqualified net content of quantitatively packaged goods, rectified within a time limit, and rechecked and accepted at the end of their lives. Of the 146 enterprises that required special rectification inspections, except for three companies that refused to make rectifications, one company refused to conduct spot checks, and eight companies stopped production due to economic or equipment maintenance and other reasons, and the rest were rectified. For enterprises that refuse to make rectifications and refuse random inspections, the relevant departments will be severely dealt with in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
