The purpose of this book is to provide Chinese product producers and sellers with a comprehensive understanding, rational examination, effective regulation, and successful resolution of 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 a negative impact on the economic interests of 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 research on 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 the production and sales processes of products.
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 new issues and phenomena in current product quality management and product liability, we have selected and listed some widely applicable corporate product standards in the international product field. From the perspective of the statutory obligations of product quality under the Chinese Product Quality Law, we have elaborated in detail the operational process of statutory obligations and liabilities.
Particularly, this book does not confine itself to traditional research perspectives on product quality liability. Starting from the backdrop of the globalization of absolute temperature standards, it explores new phenomena and issues beyond the original field of product quality control, such as corporate mergers and acquisitions and OEM contract manufacturing. 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 attracted widespread public and media attention and analyzed them from a judicial practice perspective, hoping to provide readers with references and inspiration.
