Recently, the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau of Xingguo County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, announced a typical illegal case in the building materials industry-Jiangxi Mintuo Building Materials Co., Ltd. was confiscated the illegal income of 11553. 2 yuan and fined 92425. 6 yuan for failing to implement the mix ratio parameters according to the national standards when producing concrete. The total amount of fines and confiscations amounted to. 8 yuan 103978. This highlights the "zero tolerance" attitude of the market supervision department towards the quality and safety of building materials, and also sounds a quality alarm for the industry. On March 3,
2025, the law enforcement officers of Xingguo County Market Supervision and Administration Bureau conducted a surprise inspection on Jiangxi Mintuo Building Materials Co., Ltd. and found that there was a significant difference between the actual mix proportion of concrete produced by the company and the design parameters. After on-site evidence collection and follow-up investigation, it was confirmed that the company replaced part of cement with mineral powder and coal ash in the production of C25 and C25 pavement commercial concrete in 2024. As a result, the amount of cement per cubic meter is seriously lower than adjustment range of cementitious materials (within 5%) stipulated in the national standards (JGJ55-2011 and DB36/T1160-2019).
Data show that the total amount of concrete involved is 577.66 cubic meters, the value of goods is 184851. 2 yuan, and enterprises make illegal profits of. 2 yuan 11553 by reducing the amount of cement used. The chain of evidence obtained by law enforcement officers, such as production records, inspection reports and inquiry records, is complete, and the illegal facts are conclusive. The Market Supervision Bureau
of Xingguo County confirmed that the behavior of Jiangxi Mintuo Building Materials Co., Ltd. violated the provision of Article 32 of the Product Quality Law of the People's Republic of China that "shoddy products are prohibited" and constituted the illegal act of "producing substandard products as qualified products". In accordance with Article 50 of the Product Quality Law, the regulatory authority ordered immediate correction and imposed the following penalties:
confiscation of illegal gains:. 2 yuan 11553;
imposition of a fine: 50% of the value of the goods (i.e. 6 yuan 92425); Total
fines and confiscations:. 8 yuan 103978.
It is noteworthy that, in view of the fact that enterprises are the first to violate the law and actively cooperate with the investigation and submit the Application for Reduction and Exemption of Penalties on their own initiative, the regulatory authorities refer to the Standards for the Implementation of Administrative Penalty Discretion in Market Supervision in Jiangxi Province (2024 edition) and mitigate the penalties according to law, which embodies the law enforcement principle of "tempering justice with mercy".
Industry warning: Quality is the foundation of survival, and compliance can go far
. This case exposed the industry chaos of some enterprises driven by interests. As the core material of construction engineering, the mix proportion of concrete is directly related to the structural strength and durability. If the cement consumption is not up to the standard, it will lead to insufficient compressive strength of concrete, which will cause wall cracking and endanger building safety. In recent years, there have been frequent engineering accidents caused by the quality problems of building materials in many parts of the country. The decisive action of the Xingguo County Market Supervision Bureau has once again drawn a clear quality bottom line for the industry.
Industry experts pointed out that the disclosure of such punishment cases is not only a deterrent to illegal enterprises, but also calls on the whole industry to strengthen self-discipline: production enterprises must strictly abide by national standards and improve internal quality control; construction units should strengthen the acceptance of raw materials to prevent "problematic concrete" from flowing into the construction site; Supervisory departments need to build a full-chain quality supervision network by means of normal sampling inspection and credit punishment. Today,
with "high-quality development" becoming the main theme, the building materials industry, as the basic support of the national economy, should stick to the lifeline of quality. The case of Jiangxi Mintuo Building Materials Co., Ltd. warns all practitioners that any opportunistic behavior will eventually pay a price. Only by taking honesty as the foundation and standards as the key link, can we go steadily and far in the market competition. Industry news will continue to pay attention to industry trends and promote quality awareness.
