US-China Standards and Conformity Assesssment Workshop

摘要

A workshop on standards and conformity assessment in the US and China was held during August 10-11, 2005 in Washington, DC. Sponsored by the US Department of Commerce and the China General Administration for Quality, Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine (AQSIQ), the workshop is the fourth in a series that began in 1998. This year's workshop expands the continuing dialog between the US and China to address issues related to development of standards, their adoption and/or implementation, and conformity assessment procedures impacting trade between the two countries. The workshop was designed to provide timely information and facilitate dialog between US and Chinese industry and government experts on developments both in general policy matters and issues in specific sectors, and to explore means for future collaboration.
