The seminar will inform about:
- China recently published policy for dealing with IPR in standards
- What are the possibilities for participation by foreigners in Chinese standardization
- How the China’s policies of indigenous innovation are reflected in China’s standardization approach
- The rules for testing and inspection for China market
- Support available in PRD area on issues related to standardization and market access to China
China has a comprehensive framework of standards covering all the sectors you would expect to be standardized in Europe. Thus, it is impossible to do business in China without knowledge of the Chinese standardization system and its impact on conformity assessment and market surveillance in China. Especially in the high tech sector China is developing many new standards, and not all of them are compatible to the respective European and international standards.
Despite its complexity, you as a company will have to navigate the system, find out opportunities for cooperation and identify future threads for your business. This is especially important considering that many Chinese standards are – unlike in Europe – compulsory and part of the regulatory system. The need for cooperation with China in standard development becomes even more obvious in the light of the discussions on indigenous innovation and IPR policies – both will affect the standardization environment your company is dealing with.
However, you are not alone, and support is available in this field – both from Chinese and from European sides: Experts for Chinese and European standardization and Conformity assessment will give you some insights in the mechanisms of the system of market access and market surveillance in China, and they will explain how they can assist you in this regard.
The presentations will include:
• An overview over the CCC market access system
• Standardization work from a provincial perspective
• Information sources about Chinese standards
• How standards foster technical innovation in China
• Ways to participate in standardization activities in China
• Support from European and Chinese sources for testing and inspection
For any company operating in China today, this presentation should not be missed!
