The Industrial Product Production License constitutes a critical component of the production licensing system. It serves as a regulatory mechanism formulated and implemented by national administrative authorities overseeing product quality supervision in manufacturing sectors, aiming to ensure product quality safety by monitoring enterprises' production conditions. This system mandates that citizens, legal entities, or organizations engaged in product manufacturing must possess essential production conditions to guarantee product quality safety and obtain the Industrial Product Production License through prescribed procedures before commencing operations. Enterprises without this license are strictly prohibited from production activities. In recent years, with the deepening of "streamlining administration, delegating powers, and improving services" reforms, the number of product categories subject to industrial production license management has been reduced from 60 in early 2017 to the current 10 categories.
On September 29, 2020, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued the Notice on Delegating Approval Authority for Production Licenses of 5 Product Categories and Strengthening Mid- and Post-Event Supervision (hereinafter referred to as the Notice). This policy fully transferred the approval authority for production licenses of five product categories—construction steel bars, cement, broadcasting transmission equipment, RMB authenticity detectors, and prestressed concrete simply supported railway bridge beams—to provincial market regulatory departments. Following this delegation, the State Administration for Market Regulation no longer handles industrial product production license approvals.
