In order to ensure the healthy physical and mental development of young students, recently, the Ministry of Education, the State Administration for Market Regulation, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the General Office of the All-China Women's Federation jointly issued a notice to deploy all localities to further strengthen the safety management of children's toys and student supplies.
The notice pointed out that the market supervision department should consolidate the main responsibility of production and sales enterprises, urge production enterprises to organize production in strict accordance with standards, urge e-commerce platform operators to strengthen the qualification review of operators on the platform, give play to the role of technical institutions and industry associations, guide enterprises to produce and sell in accordance with regulations, and continuously promote product quality improvement. It is necessary to intensify the supervision and management of quality and safety, focusing on the main production areas of children's toys and student supplies, wholesale markets, rural bazaars and e-commerce platforms, etc., and increase the random inspection of "Internet celebrity" toys and student stationery. In conjunction with the public security organs, we will severely crack down on illegal activities such as counterfeiting and shoddy.
The circular stresses that the administrative departments of education should work together with the departments of public security, market supervision, and urban management to carry out special governance work, focusing on investigating and blocking toy products and student supplies that are physically harmful, chemically hazardous, flammable hazards, and bad behavior, so as to create a good environment for the healthy physical and mental growth of young students. It is necessary to guide schools to strictly manage the daily management of campuses, and strictly prohibit inferior and harmful products from entering campuses. For all kinds of teaching toys and student supplies that are centrally procured, it is necessary to establish a "double review" responsibility system to firmly control the first pass of quality, safety and health. The education supervision department should carry out regular supervision, promptly report problems when they are discovered, and promptly study and resolve them.
The notice requires that the administrative departments of education and schools should regularly organize and carry out targeted publicity activities, so that students can correctly identify and consciously reject dangerous and harmful toys, and do not buy, carry, or play. It is necessary to organize and carry out the activity of "product safety and quality knowledge into the campus" in conjunction with the market supervision department, and work with the women's federation to strengthen the publicity and education of safety knowledge, including toy safety, urge parents to fulfill the main responsibility of family education, and guide children to scientifically choose and correctly use toys and school supplies.
