Slow boat to China ?…not with TRaC

TRaC Global is pleased to announce the successful opening of its overseas office in China. TRaC China, the Shenzhen based representative office will act as a bridge between the UK and China for all types of in-country certification and approvals. Through our local partnership program scheme, TRaC can help UK manufacturers obtain Chinese Compulsory Certification (CCC) regulations as well as lithium Ion (Li-Ion) and Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery approvals through its local IECEE CB test laboratory.

Close partnership with various Chinese laboratories enables TRaC to offer our clients the most suitable solution for Chinese regulatory compliance. Manufactures will benefit from the cost effective process of test and certification with local TRaC assistance. As well as supporting the test and certification activities, TRaC China can support sample shipment issues ensuring your product approval remains on time.

In May this year, TRaC completed the process of Shenzhen Morlab becoming an IECEE CBTL. They were awarded product categories covering IT/Business (IEC 60950), Audio/Visual (IEC 60065) and Batteries (IEC 6213). Manufacturers of products covered under IEC 61010, IEC 60601 and IEC 60335 already need to have battery packs or cells assessed against IEC 62133 for CB certification. However this is expected to expand further into product categories 60950-1 and 60065 in early 2013.  

Speaking on the opening, Chris Rouse, Safety Product Manager says “The opening of the representative office in China is a really exciting move for TRaC Global. As a UK provider of global test and certification services it has become vital to have local support and representation in China. We have already helped a number of clients obtain CCC certification along with lithium Ion battery pack approvals via Shenzhen Morlab. Doing business in China is not easy so having in-country TRaC staff who can guide our clients through the red tape is invaluable.”     

By the end of September, TRaC China will move to a new and larger premise in the Shenzhen Science and Technology Industrial Park, which gathers the headquarters of many leading high-tech industries and enterprises.
