    Business Challenge
    China continues to experience rapid consumer consumption growth with some estimates putting the China apparel retail market at over $100 billion USD by 2013. As such, many retailers and brands are gearing up for rapid China growth and expansion.

    National regulatory requirements in the People’s Republic of China require mandatory product standards to be met that specify general safety and technical requirements. The Chinese government also continues to randomly select products from shelves to perform testing to check for compliance, highlighting the need to meet the requirements of this regulation.

    With complex and often developing legal and industry/product specific requirements and enforcement actions to clearly understand:

    - How can you access China with minimal risk?
    - What are the requirements for your particular products?
    - What is the industry best practice?

    Solution
    Working with an independent and knowledgeable compliance partner who can advise on best practice approaches to navigate the regulatory and market access requirements for your product range is crucial. As well as the mandatory requirements, e.g., GB 18401, GB 5296.4, GB 20400 and GB 18383, companies entering China also have to consider the implications of applying product/industry standards.



    Benefits:
    - Deliver compliant products to market with confidence
    - Help to reduce the risk of financial loss, liability and safety issues
    associated with non-compliant products
    - Protect your reputation and brand
