The purpose of this book is to provide Chinese product producers and sellers with a comprehensive analysis approach, research perspective, and operational guidance for thoroughly understanding, rationally examining, effectively regulating, and successfully resolving product quality risks. Overall, the core of this book proposes a concept, an idea, and a set of methods.
A Concept: Product quality risk. The product quality risk discussed in this book may stem from product defects or flaws, or from product testing standards or evaluation methods, but all will have negative economic impacts on product producers. Product quality risk differs from product quality control, which focuses on production management, and from product quality liability, which focuses on redress. The study of product quality risk in this book is a three-dimensional practical analysis of product quality issues from both domestic and international perspectives, as well as a specialized legal prevention and diagnosis centered around product production and sales processes.
An Idea: Product quality risk can be effectively prevented and smoothly resolved.
A Set of Methods: A three-dimensional and dynamic solution for producers and manufacturers to prevent, respond to, and resolve product quality risks.
To help readers better understand some of the emerging issues and phenomena in current product quality management and product liability, we have selected and listed some widely applicable enterprise product standards in the international product field. From the perspective of product quality obligations under the Chinese Product Quality Law, we have elaborated in detail the operational process of legal product quality obligations and responsibilities.
Particularly, this book does not confine itself to traditional product quality liability research perspectives. Starting from the backdrop of the global absolute temperature standard subjectification, it explores new phenomena and issues beyond the original product quality control field, such as corporate mergers and acquisitions and OEM contract manufacturing, in the context of contemporary business trends. Based on China's current legal provisions and the actual situation of enterprises, it proposes corresponding commercial prevention methods.
In the case analysis chapter, we have selected some typical product quality risk cases that have recently drawn widespread public and media attention and conducted an in-depth analysis from a judicial practice perspective, hoping to provide readers with references and inspiration.
