日本制造业知名品牌松下集团旗下一家子公司松下工业近日承认，在申请产品品质认证时存在数据造假等违规行为，最早可追溯到20世纪80年代。据悉，违规产品种类多达52种，客户公司在全球累计达到约400家，目前无法确认其中是否涉及中国市场。
松下工业表示，相关产品迄今没有发现故障问题，不会停止出货也不会召回，但会根据客户的需求提供替换产品。此次造假行为被曝出后，松下集团旗下各公司将对产品是否存在相同问题进行自查。此外，今后将由外部律师等组成的第三方调查委员会，对本次曝出的违规行为展开调查。
据报道，部分违规行为最早开始于上世纪 80 年代，共涉及该公司在日本及海外的 7 个工厂，共有 52 种产品受到影响，约有 400 家客户公司受到牵连。不过是否涉及中国市场目前仍在确认中。
此前，日本丰田汽车旗下全资子公司大发工业也承认造假长达 30 多年。这些丑闻严重损害了日本制造业的信誉和形象。

“Headline: Panasonic Industrial Admits Decades-Long Data Falsification Scandal
Keywords: Panasonic fraud, no product recall, reputation of Japanese manufacturing industry
Content: A subsidiary of the well-known Japanese manufacturing brand Panasonic Group, Panasonic Industrial, has recently admitted to violations including data falsification when applying for product quality certification, dating back to the 1980s. It is reported that there are up to 52 types of products involved in the violations, with a total of approximately 400 client companies globally. It is currently unknown whether these involve the Chinese market.
Panasonic Industrial stated that there have been no reported malfunctions with the relevant products, and they will not stop shipments or recall them. However, they will provide replacement products according to customer needs. After this fraud was exposed, all companies under the Panasonic Group will conduct self-inspections to determine if their products have the same issues. In addition, a third-party investigation committee composed of external lawyers will be formed to investigate the violations exposed in this case.
According to reports, some of the violations began as early as the 1980s, involving seven factories in Japan and overseas, affecting a total of 52 product types and approximately 400 client companies. Whether it involves the Chinese market is still being confirmed.
Previously, Daihatsu Industrial, a wholly owned subsidiary of Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corporation, also admitted to fraudulent activities spanning over 30 years. These scandals have severely damaged the reputation and image of the Japanese manufacturing industry.”
