“Iron rules” were established for the safe operation of elderly care institutions; two national standards were introduced.

Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued two national standards: “Safety Operation Standards for Elderly Care Institutions” and “Fire Safety Management Requirements for Elderly Care Institutions”. These standards set clear requirements for personnel management, facilities and equipment, and fire safety in the operation of elderly care institutions. As places where the elderly live together, elderly care institutions are directly related to the physical health and life safety of the elderly. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly implement these standards to ensure the safety of the elderly.
