The Ministry of Emergency Management is seeking public comments on the “Implementation Measures on the License to Operate Fireworks and Firecrackers”. The main content of the revision: First, strict licensing procedures are required to tighten the “fence” of the system. In response to outstanding issues such as the current decentralization of business licensing authority in individual regions, which have led to a large number of business units that do not meet production safety requirements, it is clear that “the issuing authority shall not entrust the approval and issuance of fireworks and firecrackers business licenses that are responsible at this level to a lower licensing authority”; in order to strengthen license control and remove the requirement to selectively carry out on-site inspections, it is clearly proposed that all wholesale enterprises and retail stores should appoint 2 or more staff to carry out on-site inspections; in accordance with laws and regulations such as administrative licensing, etc., the licensing time limit requirements have been shortened. The second is to refine the operating distribution requirements to ease the conflict between supply and demand. The third is to improve the wholesale licensing system and strengthen source control. Fourth, optimize the retail licensing system to prevent and contain safety incidents. The fifth is to improve supervisors' supervision and management requirements and standardize licensing practices. The sixth is to raise the standard of punishment and strengthen the crackdown on illegal acts.
