15. The "6+4" regulatory system   “6+4”一体化综合监管体系

The "6+4" regulatory system refers to six basic regulatory mechanisms: risk monitoring, credit supervision, tiered and industry specific supervision, collaborative supervision, technology-based monitoring and joint supervision by regulators and the public. A "four ones" system has been introduced in the pilot program for supervision involving multiple agencies: one regulatory compliance manual, one checklist, one consolidated inspection and one credit and risk assessment for each industry.

即探索实施风险监管、信用监管、分级分类监管、协同监管、科技监管、共治监管等6项基本制度,在多部门监管场景中试点推行“一业一册”、“一业一单”、“一业一查”、“一业一评”等4项场景化措施。

16. Service packages   服务包

These are services provided by Beijing to improve the city's business environment and serve the needs of businesses. The packages include a combination of preferential policies which suit the businesses' positioning, which are designed to overcome information asymmetry, and which, within the framework of laws and regulations, offer tailor-made solutions for their difficulties.

是北京市优化营商环境、服务企业发展的一项工作制度。根据企业定位提供普惠性政策集成,解决信息不对称问题;并针对企业发展中需要协调帮助的困难,依法依规量身定制解决方案。

17. The notification and compliance requirement   告知承诺制

This requires departments in charge of administrative approvals to notify applicants in one go of the conditions, standards and technical requirements to be met, documents to be submitted and legal responsibilities to be fulfilled.

If an applicant pledges in written form (including e-text) to meet all the criteria, to assume full responsibility for any violations, and to bear any consequences of false representation, then the application is approved on the spot.

即有关政府部门一次性公布告知申请人所申请事项的办理条件、标准、技术要求、所需材料,申请人以书面(含电子文本)形式承诺其符合办理条件,并承担相应违反承诺的后果,有关政府部门直接作出同意决定的方式。

18. Smart review and approval system (SRAS)    无感审批 

The SRAS is an online application, review and approval system. It uses speech recognition, facial recognition, and other artificial intelligence technologies for identity authentication, smart authorization, automatic form filling, and other functions.

Through the SRAS, businesses or individuals that apply for authorization or registration can obtain approvals without having to provide physical identity documents or fill out any forms. It reduces the paperwork involved, thus simplifying the application process.

Beijing has opened at the Municipal Administrative Center a smart government service center and launched a blockchain-based platform, enabling government information and resources sharing and collaborative work. This allows government departments and agencies to handle applications "within seconds", all via online portals or intelligent terminals.

无感审批是指通过语音识别、人脸识别等技术,强化身份认证、智能授权、自动填表等功能,企业群众无需出示证件、无需填写表单就能拿到审批文件,实现“无感”审批、“省心”办事。

北京市已在城市副中心建成智能政务服务大厅,建立以区块链技术为支撑的政务信息资源共享和业务协同机制,开展“秒批”、“无感审批”等智能场景应用,实现更多事项全程网办或智能办事终端办理。

19. Regulatory sandbox   监管沙盒

A regulatory sandbox is a controlled "box" or environment under a regulator's close oversight that allows experiments with new business forms and models. The regulators adopt a tolerant and prudent approach to problems that may arise in the "sandbox". This enables a fault-tolerant and error-correcting mechanism to be applied within a manageable range.

It allows businesses to experiment with new products, services and models in a real market environment, cut costs and shorten their time to market. In 2019, Beijing received State Council approval for its pilot regulatory sandbox proposal, and was the first in China to use it on fintech. 

监管沙盒作为一个受监督的安全测试区,对在“盒子”里的企业,由监管部门采取包容审慎的监管措施,在可控的范围之内实行容错纠错,对运行过程进行全程监管。企业在真实的市场环境中测试创新产品、服务和商业模式,有助于减少创新理念进入市场的时间与潜在成本和监管的不确定性。2019年北京市获国务院批准探索“监管沙盒”机制,并率先在全国开展金融科技创新监管试点。
