Using StandardsPortal to Succeed in China Webinar: China Standards Presented by Elise Owen Representative for China Affairs June 11, 2009
China Program Genesis • ANSI China Program launched in 2006, responding to member focus on issues and opportunities in China • Three main priority areas for ANSI China Program: • Advance U.S. policies for standards and conformance in China • Address overarching issues in China • Support individual ANSI members in China • 2007 ANSI Membership Survey defined overarching areas of concern for China, including transparency, conformity assessment policies, and inconsistent U.S. message • China Program facilitates “continuous engagement” through senior and working-level communication, workshops, projects, etc. to effectively advance U.S. priorities
China Program: Recent Accomplishments • April 2008: MOU with Certification and Accreditation Administration of China (CNCA) that builds on a longstanding MOU with the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) • Supporting Initiatives to advance the safety of products exported from China to the U.S. (e.g. toys) • Addressing high-level China policy concerns(e.g. TC participation policies, revisions to CCC regulations, etc.) • Guest Researchers from Chinese Government • Launching ANSI Manufacturer Member Roundtable in China • Development of StandardsPortal (www.standardsportal.org)
Why StandardsPortal? • Problem: • No central resource to help companies find the standards, conformity assessment and technical regulations needed to enter and compete in target markets. • Solution: • StandardsPortal answers key questions exporters face when attempting to enter their target markets
Coming Soon!! • Information on Conformity Assessment in China (including CCC Mark) • Translation Bulletin Board • StandardsPortal Groups on LinkedIn and Twitter (follow us on Twitter: StandardsPortal) • Information on Industry Standards and other Regulations in China • New Look and Feel for StandardsPortal…
