The official handover was accompanied by lively discussions on how the collaboration can be made even more active and in-depth. As part of the recognition, additional collaboration projects—in which the partners can mutually benefit from and complement each other—are expected to be carried out in China.

The CSA Group is one of the largest institutions for defining standards in North America and actively collaborates with technical teams of experts and testing laboratories worldwide. A strict evaluation was conducted to assess the VDE CGC’s testing capabilities. The CSA Group verified the VDE CGC’s capabilities with regard to staff, technology, equipment, qualifications and much more. As a result, the laboratory accreditation certificate was issued to VDE CGC.

Its acquisition of the certificate shows that VDE CGC is highly regarded by the CSA Group. This means that VDE CGC continues to improve its testing capabilities and has therefore strengthened its position in the North American certification field. It can offer a comprehensive global testing and certification service from one source.

For a long time, both the CSA Group and the VDE CGC have supported safety and sustainable development and wish to make a positive contribution to society. Thanks to henceforth increasingly closer collaboration in tests and certifications, we can offer companies more professional and efficient localization. With the help of our one-stop test solutions, companies can asses whether their products meet applicable safety and performance standards.

Both parties will continue to use their professionality and the latest technologies to enable Chinese companies to enter both North American and global markets more efficiently and quickly.
