"Can the administrative approval for qualification certification be faster?" Starting from 2021, the administrative approval deadline for qualification certification by Shanghai inspection and testing institutions has been reduced from 20 working days to 10 working days. However, many inspection and testing institutions that urgently need certification believe that it can be faster.

What they didn't expect was that this wish was soon realized. The Shanghai Municipal Administration for Market Regulation officially issued a notice today on the implementation of several measures to further optimize the business environment of the inspection and testing industry, reducing the administrative approval time limit for qualification recognition from 10 working days to 5 working days, the written review time limit for standard changes from 30 working days to 20 working days, and the time limit for certification delivery from 7 working days to 5 working days.

At the same time, if an inspection and testing institution that meets the basic conditions for applying for qualification recognition and has no bad credit record at the time of application lacks or needs to correct the content of its application materials such as legal person status certificate and fixed place certificate, it shall make a written commitment in accordance with the requirements, first accept and conduct relevant technical reviews, and then make necessary corrections within the time limit of the technical review.

Multiple inspection and testing institutions, including Dongfang International Group Shanghai Environmental Technology Co., Ltd., need to change their business licenses to remove the conflicting business content with inspection and testing activities before submitting qualification recognition applications. But the newly launched fault-tolerant acceptance model allows institutions that make commitments to simultaneously handle two businesses, obtain qualification recognition permits earlier, and improve their ability to respond to market changes.

The notice also specifies that if an inspection and testing institution has obtained CNAS recognition for a testing capability project and applies for qualification recognition for the same capability project within 6 months after obtaining recognition, it can simplify the technical review process and shorten the technical review time based on the actual situation.

Tianxiang Quality and Technical Services Co., Ltd. has become the first institution to obtain relevant inspection and testing capabilities through CNAS accreditation. Liu Ying, Quality Director of Tianxiang China, stated that the Shanghai market regulatory department has accepted the 53 inspection and testing capabilities recognized by CNAS on April 21. Through written review and simplified on-site review, the qualification certification for the above-mentioned inspection and testing capabilities was completed within 3 weeks, saving at least half of the time compared to before and also saving the institution the manpower and material costs required to prepare for on-site review.

In recent years, the Shanghai market regulatory authorities have introduced a series of reform measures for inspection and testing work, such as taking the lead in implementing the qualification recognition notification commitment system for inspection and testing institutions nationwide, continuously improving the supply of high-end inspection and testing capabilities, and accelerating the construction of a modern inspection and testing industry system, innovation system, and service system.

Now, Shanghai has become one of the most active regions for inspection and testing activities in China. The annual revenue of the inspection and testing industry continues to maintain double-digit growth, with quality and efficiency ranking among the top in the country. Institutions that account for only 2.5% of the country's total have created 7.6% of the country's business revenue, and internationally renowned inspection and testing certification institutions and organizations have settled in Shanghai, leading the country in internationalization.

The Lupu Bridge, the sixth bridge on the Huangpu River in Shanghai and known as the "world's largest arch," has recently completed its first structural repair since its construction. Since 2015, Shanghai's urban bridges have entered a peak maintenance period, with several iconic bridges undergoing maintenance and renovation, including Zhejiang Road Bridge, Nanpu Bridge, Yangpu Bridge, Songpu Bridge, etc. Why did the Lupu Bridge, which is younger than them, start "strengthening and keeping fit" early on? The Jiefang Daily Shangguan News reporter learned that after this maintenance, the Lupu Bridge still needs to consider upgrading, reflecting the new concept of urban municipal facility operation.

The design period of the main structure of Lupu Bridge is 1 year

What does the Lujiazui Forum rely on to attract global attention? Over the past 15 years, the forum has focused on economics, finance, and other related topics

Tomorrow, the 14th Lujiazui Forum will open in Shanghai. Since its establishment 15 years ago, this high-end dialogue and exchange platform in the financial field has become a business card for Shanghai and also a business card for China's finance to go global. An interesting coincidence is that the first Lujiazui Forum started in 2008, when people were concerned about when the global economy could improve and recover under the impact of the financial crisis. And what everyone is more concerned about in this forum is obviously how finance can help global economic recovery after the epidemic. The questions are similar, but the answers are not exactly the same. Every time global financial professionals come to the Lujiazui Forum, they are searching for answers to financial development issues in the real world. Over the past 15 years, some answers have gradually become clear, while others are still being explored. Perhaps this is why the Lujiazui Forum has caught the world's attention
