The quality and safety services (QSS) sector plays a fundamental role in ensuring a high quality of life. Since the release of the 13th Five-year Plan (13FYP) and the China Manufacturing 2025 (CM2025) initiative, as well as the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce, China has stepped up the pace of its market-based reforms to improve the quality and safety of its products. The Quality and Safety Services Sub-working Group wants to see a continuation of these reforms, particularly for the third-party testing, inspection and certification (TIC) industry. The sub-working group’s members are primarily European QSS industry leaders who have operated in China for over two decades, providing tailor-made, high-end services for Chinese manufacturers. These member companies have contributed significantly to China's market-based reforms, and the CM2025 initiative, by sharing their expertise and advanced management experience with the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ),1 and the Certification and Accreditation Administration of China (CNCA). The sub-working group would like China to further open its TIC market and provide opportunities for cooperation between China and Europe in the area of quality and safety management.
