According to the different nature of participants, the testing market can be divided into government testing, enterprise internal testing and independent third-party testing. In all fields of national economy, government inspection and testing focuses on protecting people's lives and property safety. The business sources of government inspection and testing institutions are mainly market access, supervision, inspection and testing, 3C certification, production license, verification, evaluation and exemption from inspection. Enterprise internal testing serves enterprises themselves. Product quality control needs; and independent third-party testing mainly reflects the independence and impartiality of testing data. In the trade process, buyers and sellers pay more and more attention to the independence and impartiality of testing data based on the protection of their own interests.

Food safety, as a social and livelihood issue, has attracted more and more attention from consumers. The unavoidable reality is that there are still many food additives that have not yet been effectively tested, which also means that the new market needs to be broken through. How to improve technology and make food testing instruments small and fine is the key to ordinary people's homes.

With the adjustment, transformation, upgrading and development of China's economic institutions, inspection and inspection service industry as an important basis for the national quality development strategy has also been highly valued. In recent years, the state has issued a series of industrial policies related to the adjustment and promotion of the development of inspection and testing services, especially in 2015, a large number of policies have been issued intensively, which has promoted the inspection and testing services industry in China to usher in an important historical development opportunity period. The reform and integration of state-owned inspection and testing certification institutions has become an inevitable trend, and the market for inspection and testing certification has gradually opened up.
