The inspection aims to assess the implementation of legal regulations on quality and labeling of goods in business; promptly detect and handle violations of the law, rectify business activities; protect the strictness of the law, the rights and legitimate interests of business organizations, individuals and consumers.

According to the plan, from September 8 to September 30, the working group of the Department of Science and Technology inspected 21 organizations and business establishments in the province. In particular, the inspection focused on: Labeling of goods according to Decree No. 43/2017/ND-CP, Decree No. 111/2021/ND-CP; display of applied announced standards, conformity marks, codes, barcodes; conformity of goods with technical regulations, applied announced standards, accompanying documents; inspection of other contents related to the quality of goods. In case the goods show signs of not ensuring quality, the delegation will take samples to test quality indicators.

Initial inspections showed that, at the time of inspection, the establishments presented business registration certificates. Goods were fully and appropriately labeled according to regulations, had applicable standards announced and displayed conformity marks on the product labels, were certified and declared to be in conformity according to regulations.

Checking at the Smiley 2 helmet shop in Long Xuyen ward, the team randomly inspected the product labels of all types of helmets. As a result, the products were fully labeled with mandatory information, in accordance with regulations; all were certified and declared to be in compliance. Ms. Nguyen Minh Tam - business owner said: "The shop has been selling helmets for more than 4 years, only selling products from reputable companies, products with invoices, documents, and full conformity inspection certificates. Customers often come to buy helmets that meet standards for use. The best-selling products are priced from 150,000 - 200,000 VND/piece, slightly higher at 400,000 - 600,000 VND/piece. We do not sell products of unknown origin, to ensure both the reputation of the shop and safety, protecting the rights of consumers".

At Thanh Son business household, Long Xuyen ward, the team randomly inspected the labels of electrical and electronic equipment products... The results showed that all products were in compliance with regulations. Ms. Ngo Thi Minh Loan - owner of Thanh Son business household shared: "We have more than 30 years of experience in trading all kinds of household electrical products, always paying attention to quality and price. Especially in today's competitive times, if the quality and reasonable price are not guaranteed, the store will have difficulty attracting customers."

It can be seen that the awareness of business households has been raised quite well. Ms. Quyen - owner of Linh Quyen business household said: "I have been selling children's toys for more than 10 years, with hundreds of designs and types, originating from Vietnam and China. I focus on choosing toy products with labels that clearly and fully state product information according to regulations. For imported toys, there must be a secondary label in Vietnamese and full product label information."

To ensure the quality of goods circulating on the market and improve the effectiveness of consumer protection, the Department of Science and Technology continues to step up inspection and handling of violations; encourage businesses to clarify the origin and attach social responsibility to products.
