2025 NPC & CPPCC Fireworks Industry Proposal Briefing
During the 2025 National People's Congress (NPC) and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), NPC deputies and CPPCC members tabled multiple proposals addressing key challenges in the fireworks industry—including safety regulations, environmental protection, and cultural heritage preservation—to facilitate standardized development and industrial upgrading.
[Two Sessions Focus]
During the 2025 National People's Congress (NPC) and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), NPC deputies and CPPCC members tabled multiple proposals for the fireworks industry, prioritizing three key areas:
• Safety Regulation Enhancement
• Environmental Protection Measures
• Traditional Cultural Heritage Preservation
These initiatives aim to drive standardized development and industrial transformation/upgrading of the sector.
[Regulatory Framework]
Fireworks Management Regulations & Industry Standards
Proposal by NPC Deputy Zhang Xuewu on Revising Fireworks Industry Standards
Official Recommendation
Zhang Xuewu, Deputy to the National People's Congress (NPC), has formally proposed expediting revisions to:
*National Standard GB-10631 "Safety and Quality of Fireworks and Firecrackers" (2013 Edition)*
"Regulations on Safety Management of Fireworks and Firecrackers" (2006 Edition)
He emphasized that the current frameworks exhibit operational deficiencies in addressing contemporary safety requirements and societal development trends.
Identified Issues
Quality Standards (GB-10631)
• Escalating consumer expectations for product safety
• Inadequate comprehensiveness in:
Product quality testing protocols
Safety performance evaluation metrics
Resultant market inconsistencies in product quality with elevated safety risks
Management Regulations
• Ambiguities in:
Regulatory jurisdiction delineation
Penalty severity gradation
• Impeding factors for enforcement agencies:Operational challenges in law enforcement
Limited deterrence against violations
Four-Point Revision Proposal
Establish a dedicated standards revision task force
Conduct comprehensive stakeholder consultations
Implement prompt publication with compliance training
Enhance post-implementation monitoring and inspection
Strategic Significance
Deputy Zhang underscored that regulatory modernization is critical to:
✓ Ensuring public safety
✓ Advancing environmental protection
✓ Facilitating sustainable industry development

*NPC Deputy Zhang Xuewu Re-elected for 7th Consecutive Term: A Persistent Advocate for Fireworks Industry Reform*
"Fireworks safety oversight is not only part of my professional duties, but a core focus of my role as an NPC Deputy," stated Liu Yixin. Following his 2023 proposal to enhance electric igniter regulations, this year's Two Sessions will see him advocate for:
To substantiate these proposals, Deputy Liu has coordinated with Liuyang Public Security Bureau's Explosive Materials Division to:
Joint explosive testing of fireworks fuse materials with relevant agencies is also underway to finalize evidence-based recommendations.
"High-level safety safeguards enable high-quality development. While fireworks remain a pillar industry for Liuyang's economy, their inherent risks demand rigorous safety-industry coordination—critical for local enterprises and communities alike." This principle underpins Liu's three-year concentrated effort on pyrotechnics safety reform.

NPC Deputy Liu Yixin Conducts Three-Month Special Investigation on Fireworks Safety Management
Fireworks and firecrackers represent a millennium-old folk tradition and economic driver, serving as a vital vessel of Chinese cultural heritage. However, with over 600 Chinese municipalities implementing restrictive policies, the industry now contends with critical dichotomies:
Domestic and international markets now prioritize:
✓ Eco-Safety Compliance (Reduced emissions, safer formulations)
✓ Aesthetic Innovation (Artistic displays, multimedia integration)
✓ Customization (Personalized/event-specific products)
✓ Technological Integration (Drone fireworks, AR-enhanced experiences)
✓ Tourism Synergy (Destination entertainment packages)
• Launch new media campaigns promoting green/rational consumption
• Cultivate premium brand ecosystems
• Consolidate fragmented regulatory platforms into a national unified supervision & information system
• Implement graded classification standards (by product risk/usage scenarios)
• Shift consumption tax from production to wholesale/retail phases
• Expedite green pyrotechnics standards (Biodegradable materials, noise/air pollution thresholds)
