Recently, the Jiangxi Provincial Administration for Market Regulation released the second batch of illegal cases in the field of people's livelihood. This involves the investigation and punishment of the Yingtan City Market Supervision Bureau for the use of elevators by the Yingtan City Housing Security Center that have not undergone regular inspections. The specific information is as follows:
On March 22, 2022, the Yingtan Market Supervision Bureau imposed an administrative penalty of 110000 yuan on the Yingtan Housing Security Center for using elevators that had not undergone regular inspections.
On December 21, 2021, law enforcement officers from the Yingtan Market Supervision Bureau inspected the elevators in Minhuijiayuan Community, Yuehu District, Yingtan City, managed by the Yingtan Housing Security Center. They found that the elevators used in the community had exceeded the regular inspection period and were still in use without inspection. On the same day, a special equipment safety supervision instruction was issued, ordering the parties involved to immediately stop using the elevators that had not been inspected.
After investigation, in September 2021, Minhui Jiayuan Community was managed by Yingtan Housing Security Center, and the management and use of elevators in the community were handled by Yingtan Housing Security Center. On November 17, 2021, after the annual inspection of 26 elevators in Minhui Jiayuan community expired, the parties involved did not report for inspection as required and were still in use until the inspection. The above-mentioned actions of the parties have violated the provisions of Article 40, Paragraph 3 of the Special Equipment Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, and the Yingtan Market Supervision Bureau has imposed administrative penalties in accordance with the law.
Elevators are essential tools in daily life, and regular inspections are an important means of ensuring elevator safety. Market supervision departments at all levels strictly follow the principles of "full coverage, zero tolerance, strict law enforcement, and emphasis on effectiveness", implement the "five batches" work requirements, firmly adhere to the safety bottom line of special equipment, improve the quality of elevator safety operation, and effectively safeguard the safety of people's travel.
