The sharing of resources such as measuring equipment, test sites, inspection techniques and so on. With technology trading as the core, inspection and testing services as the technical support, we will focus on introducing inspection and testing enterprises to build a market-dynamic inspection and testing industrial agglomeration area in Shanghai Free Trade Experimental Zone.

Sharing test results

Next, the center will focus its efforts on four aspects of service &ldquo and &rdquo.

First, we must discuss the standard expansion. Release the regional standards of Shanghai Free Trade Pilot Area, improve the business environment through fine management, and around the trend of international consumer goods, invite institutions from all countries to participate in the revision of relevant guidelines and standards for conformity assessment, so as to realize the interoperability of standards.
