History

The National People's Congress established a Credentials Committee in 1954. As the Committee was a temporary institution, it was unable to review the qualifications of representatives in time, leading to the establishment of the permanent Credentials Committee of the NPCSC in March 1983.

The committee examines the qualifications of deputies elected to the National People's Congress. The Deputies Affairs Commission is responsible for the specific work of the Credentials Committee.

Structure

The committee has its own general office.
