Product quality, safety to be monitored more vigorously, public to be alerted

China will redouble its efforts to ensure the safety and quality of exported and imported goods by creating an evaluation system and taking action on evaluation results, according to a guideline released by the State Council on Wednesday.

Actions may include product bans, sequestration or mandatory recalls.

To make that happen, the country will set up a national risk assessment center, establish an expert committee and create national labs to evaluate the quality and safety of products, according to the guideline.
