Xiuzhou: Concentrate on rectifying the coating industry

“You have no coating at all in your company's business license. How can you set up a production line? How is the procedure now?” Yesterday morning, the law enforcement personnel of Xiuzhou District asked Xinlian in Jiaxing City, Wangjiang Town. Head of Textile Finishing Co., Ltd. The reporter noted that the company's "corporate legal person business license (copy)" clearly stated the scope of business: textile manufacturing and processing, textile finishing and processing (excluding printing and dyeing, coating, printing, etc.). Half a month ago, the company had been ordered to stop production and rectification by the relevant authorities for opening a coating production line without authorization.

The coating industry is a high-risk, highly polluting industry. Enterprises that set up coating production lines must have corresponding production qualifications and must obtain safety evaluations and environmental impact assessment certificates. However, at present, some corporate executives have the psychology of “hidden cats and cats”. They have secretly started coating production without obtaining relevant licenses. Exceeding the scope of their business licenses, there are certain security risks.

According to preliminary investigations, there are currently 29 companies involved in coating production in Xiuzhou District, of which 17 are located in Wangjiang Town. From June 16 to June 17, the Xiuzhou District Government convened the Economic and Trade Bureau of the District, the District Planning and Construction Bureau, the District Environmental Protection Bureau, the District Safety Supervision Bureau, the District Land and Resources Branch, the District Industrial and Commercial Branch, the District Quality Supervision Sub-bureau, the district power supply branch, and districts. The relevant functional departments and units, such as the Fire Brigade and the Enterprise Service Center of Wangjiangyan Town, conducted a joint law enforcement and rectification of the 17 coating companies in Wangjiang Town, focused their efforts on eliminating potential safety hazards, and launched a deep-seated battle to eliminate backward production capacity in Xiuzhou District.

Every time a coating company is involved, the law enforcement personnel of the relevant departments of Xiuzhou District will carefully check their business licenses, inquire about the rectification, and require the person in charge of the company to sign the "Safety Production Commitment." The letter of commitment stipulates that companies use water-soluble coating adhesives (not included in the scope of chemical management) in coating production and processing, do not use solvent-based coating adhesives, and are randomly checked by companies at all levels of safety supervision and management departments. If it finds that the use of solvent-based coating glue is illegal and illegal, the company will bear the corresponding legal liability. According to Yan Jiawei, deputy director of the District Government Office, the district committee and the district government are determined to rectify the coating industry in the region and eliminate potential safety hazards. The illegally-run enterprises shall be ordered to suspend production for rectification. Enterprises that have stopped production for rectification within the prescribed time limit will be shut down, and the legal person responsible for the company shall be investigated and punished accordingly.
