Lu Renbo, the deputy secretary-general of the CECC, said China hasn't set up national standards for digital cameras, and industrial standards are not compulsory. Therefore, quality disputes are usually settled according to the manufacturers' standards. The government should enhance the supervision on the products' standards to protect the consumers' rights, he said.
