CHANGZHOU, CHINA – Microtek (Changzhou) Laboratories has been authorized by China Quality Certification Center to test PCBs, copper-clad laminates and plastics, the company said today.
The lab, which is headquartered in the US, is now able to issue CQC certification (CQC-V084) for the domestic Chinese market.
It reportedly marks the first time CQC has authorized a foreign-based laboratory to perform testing to these categories.
CQC covers 31 test methods and is based on China National (GB) Standards, as well as certain IEC and ISO standards.
CQC is often specified by various Chinese governmental departments that require product safety certifications.
