Merger of Chinese accreditation bodies

摘要

The Chinese structure for accreditation has been rationalized with the creation of the China National Accreditation Board for Certifiers (CNAB), formed by the merger of four organizations that previously each specialized in one area. CNAB, which was set up in accordance with a decision of the Chinese Government, replaces the following organizations: China National Accreditation Council for Registrars (CNACR), China National Accreditation Council for Product Certification Bodies (CNACP), China National Accreditation Board for Import & Export Enterprises (CNAB), and China Accreditation Committee for Environmental Management System Certification Bodies (CACEB).
