Why It Matters
Multiple departments jointly compiled the "Measures for the Management of Automobile Modifications", which is the first policy normative document at the national level to systematically promote the management of automobile modifications.
Reporters learned today (13th) from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that the "Vehicle Modification Management Measures" jointly prepared by multiple departments have begun to solicit public opinions. This is the first policy normative document to be issued at the national level to systematically promote the management of automobile modifications. It is also a key measure to cultivate new growth points for consumption in the automobile aftermarket.
It is understood that the "Measures for the Administration of Automobile Modifications" currently mainly focus on the modification of non-commercial passenger vehicles in large quantities and a wide range of areas, and implement Class I and Class II modification management. Among them,
Category 1 modification refers to modifications to the body color, interior and exterior decoration, etc. that do not involve safety, environmental protection and other performance.
Category II modifications refer to modifications to the braking system, suspension, etc. that involve vehicle safety, environmental protection and other performance.
The reporter learned that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has formulated the first batch of modification project lists with a total of 43 items, including 29 first-class modifications and 14 second-class modifications. In terms of management, automobile companies are required to establish "one vehicle, one gear" vehicle modification files.
The reporter noticed that the "Measures" focused on "safety" and "environmental protection." Automobile companies are required to formulate modification technical plans, and the systems and components used for modification should meet the requirements of relevant technical standards; for modification projects that have a greater impact on vehicle safety, environmental protection and other performance, the modification technical plans must undergo technical inspection by national testing agencies.
Experts said that the "Measures" require that for car modification projects that may have a greater impact on vehicle safety and environmental performance, automobile companies should ensure that the modified models and corresponding systems and components obtain test reports. For each modified car, the modification company must issue a completion certificate to the car owner. This shows that while the "Measures" liberalize the modification market in an orderly manner, it also strengthens the safety control of systems, components used in modifications, and modified vehicles.
