UL, The Leader Of Product Safety, Signed A Strategic Cooperation Agreement With The Wenzhou Quality And Technology Supervision And Testing Institute.

Cooperation and development to create the future together

Recently, UL, the world's leading product safety leader, signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Wenzhou quality and technology supervision and Testing Institute at the Sheraton Wenzhou hotel in Wenzhou, and jointly launched a series of specific planning and substantive measures aimed at promoting the development of foreign trade in related industries, especially the footwear industry, responding to international technical barriers and accelerating the pformation of Wenzhou's economy.

Miao Weilun, vice mayor of Wenzhou, Zhu Yunhua of Wenzhou Quality Supervision Bureau, chief engineer Yu Wei, President Lin Jiangxin of Wenzhou quality technical supervision and testing institute, President and general manager of Asia Pacific region, UL consumer goods and retail service department and general manager Feng Zike.

And more than 100 representatives from relevant enterprises attended.

UL helps Wenzhou shoe industry get export license in Europe and America nearby.

At present, Wenzhou has established import and export trade relations with more than 200 countries and regions. Among them, the European and American regions are the main export destinations for Wenzhou products, especially in terms of footwear.

In 2015, the total value of Wenzhou footwear exported to the EU and the United States amounted to 16 billion 400 million yuan, accounting for 62% of Wenzhou's total footwear exports, accounting for 15% of Wenzhou's total exports of goods.

However, in the process of foreign trade, Wenzhou shoes need to be exported to Europe and the United States. They often need to be sent to Shanghai and other places for testing. The test reports from accredited testing institutions in Europe and the United States can be exported. This undoubtedly increases the time and cost of Wenzhou enterprises, and may even delay the delivery time, which has affected the rapid and sound development of Wenzhou's foreign trade.

To this end, as a global authoritative testing and certification body

By establishing a strategic partnership with Wenzhou quality and technology supervision and testing institute, it will help Wenzhou shoe manufacturers get the "license" exported to Europe and the US in the near future.

In the future, Wenzhou quality and technology supervision and testing institute can carry out tests according to American standards and European standards, provide test data, and issue test reports by UL party, effectively reducing the time and freight costs of related enterprises.

UL's consumer goods and retail service department has a wealth of professional experience, advanced testing equipment and professional local technical talents, which can provide perfect consumer product quality and safety guarantee services for domestic and foreign enterprises.

UL one-stop quality assurance services for consumer goods and retail services include testing, inspection, auditing, consulting, training, service products covering textiles and clothing, footwear, luggage and leather products, toys and infant products, gifts, daily necessities, kitchen supplies, food contact materials, stationery, personal care products, daily chemicals, etc.

Strong and strong joint efforts to promote industrial pformation and upgrading

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the living standards of the public, consumers' demand for quality products such as footwear has been increasing. Price advantage is no longer a winning weapon for consumers.

At the same time, detection of market changes is changing rapidly, new testing technology requirements constantly improve, coupled with the emergence of technical barriers to trade, trade growth of Wenzhou footwear and other related industries has begun to slow down, industrial pformation and upgrading is imminent.

In this case, the Wenzhou quality inspection institute has cooperated with many well-known foreign testing institutions, launched international testing and certification services, actively promoted the development of Wenzhou's foreign trade, and set up a "bridge" for Wenzhou products to all over the world.

"As a representative of international testing and certification bodies, the UL expert team has a deep understanding of the industry standards. By providing regular training and technical exchanges for local footwear manufacturers in Wenzhou, UL can help local enterprises to understand global laws more quickly, speed up product testing, reduce test costs, speed up products to meet export standards requirements, improve export competitiveness in an all-round way, and help Wenzhou footwear enterprises to stand firmly on the world stage."

"In addition, UL also attaches great importance to the continuous delivery of resources in Wenzhou and its footwear industry, as well as deepening cooperation with Chinese local industry organizations such as Wenzhou quality and technology supervision and testing institute, and jointly promoting industrial pformation and upgrading by sharing resources and platforms," UL said.

Lin Jiangxin, President of Wenzhou quality and technology supervision and testing institute, said: "this cooperation with UL is another breakthrough in the field of foreign cooperation after the signing of cooperation with the Korean clothing research and Research Institute in March this year.

Wenzhou quality and technology supervision and testing institute and UL have abundant resources. This signing cooperation is a strong joint effort, giving full play to the advantages and realizing the optimal allocation of resources.

It is hoped that through long-term and stable development, the two sides will give full play to their respective advantages and jointly carry out the testing of all kinds of consumer goods, and strive to build a public inspection service platform for the whole city, the whole province and the whole country.

In the future, the two sides will also step up their development on the basis of development needs and cooperation in the footwear industry.

Cooperation in other fields such as toys, and cooperation in science and technology innovation, standards research, technology training and other fields to better serve Wenzhou.

It will provide strong support and guarantee for the overall upgrading of product quality and industrial competitiveness of Wenzhou enterprises.
