Compliance with various international safety standards is essential to reducing your product liability risk exposure. Chinese suppliers must invest both management time and resources into several key risk management areas:
- Product Certification: wherever possible an internationally recognized laboratory or test center should be used for your product certification.
- Quality Control and Assurance: quality procedures and industry best practices should be enforced at every stage of your manufacturing process.
- User’s Manuals and Instructions: must be in compliance with the standards of the export markets.
- Labels and Warnings: must be reviewed from both a legal and a technical perspective.
