Microtek (Changzhou) Laboratories has been authorized by China Quality Certification Center (CQC) to test PCBs, CCLs and Plastics in order to obtain CQC certification for the domestic Chinese market (CQC-V084). This landmark approval marks the first time in CQC’s history that it has authorized a foreign based laboratory to perform testing in these categories. Microtek (Changzhou) Laboratory’s well established leadership position in these industries was instrumental in CQC’s decision. This CQC authorization covers 31 test methods and is based on China National (GB) Standards along with certain IEC and ISO standards.

CQC has branches established worldwide and is considered the most authoritative product certification body in China with the highest number certifications issued of all China’s certification bodies.

With our CQC, UL and IPC testing service offerings, we are now uniquely positioned to assist our customers with certification services for both the domestic and export Chinese market. We are now accepting requests for CQC testing and certification.”
