China Consumers' Association (CCA) will conduct a nationwide inspection on ten industries to ensure business credit and consumer rights and interests, its secretary general Teng Jiacai said Tuesday.

The inspection will, according to Teng, focus on quality, sanitation, safety, prices, logos of the commodities or services provided by the ten industries and see whether there is any fraud incurred.

The ten industries are all closely related with daily life, including food, commercial housing, construction materials and house fitting-up, travel service, insurance, medicine and medical instruments, telecommunication and auto.

The CCA will, added Teng, launch a quarterly inspection drive on possible problems emerging from the four sectors of food, medicine, commercial housing and travel services that could violate the principle of creditable business practices.

Those articles of contracts unfavorable to legal consumer rights will also be discussed and law brochures handed out to improve the rural people's legal knowledge, he said.

The CCA has conducted the yearly campaign to better serve consumers since 1997.
