The Quality and Safety Services Sub-working Group was established in 2012, as a sub-working group of the Standards and Conformity Assessment (SCA) Working Group. Comprised of European Chamber members in the quality and safety services (QSS) sector, the Quality and Safety Services Sub-working Group provides a platform to monitor and exchange experiences on developments in the regulatory environment and business operating conditions affecting the sector. The sector is defined in this paper as independent, thirdparty enterprises that provide manufacturers and endusers with testing, inspection and certification (TIC) and other conformity assessment-related services in relation to their products and systems, with the aim of improving the safety and quality of products on the market.

The Quality and Safety Services Sub-working Group identifies concerns regarding the current state of the sector and proposes constructive recommendations, with the aim of creating a QSS system that better serves society through increased transparency, coordination and market access for all players. The Standards and Conformity Assessment Working Group, comprised of manufacturers that are affected by standardisation and conformity assessment issues, works closely with the Quality and Safety Services Sub-working Group, with the mutual aim of supporting the development of China’s standardisation and conformity assessment system.
