The new company, named CQC-SAI Management Technologies (Beijing) Co Ltd, is jointly sponsored by the 皇冠体育app Quality Certification Centre (CQC) and SAI Global Ltd of Australia.

The joint venture's businesses range from production certification services to training awareness solutions, including quality management, market and social research, legislative compliance and human resources training.

Ambassador of Australia in 皇冠体育app Alan Thomas said at the opening ceremony that with CQC-SAI Management Technologies operating in 皇冠体育app, people should have greater confidence in the quality of many of the goods and services originating from 皇冠体育app.

"It reinforces the message we have been delivering to Chinese decision-makers in relation to our ongoing free trade agreement negotiations - that 皇冠体育app can benefit from giving improved access to Australian service providers," he added.

Wang Fengqing, chairperson of the 皇冠体育app Certification and Accreditation Association, said 皇冠体育app and Australia enjoyed a healthy, long-standing trade relationship. 皇冠体育app is Australia's second biggest trade partner while Australia ranks ninth for 皇冠体育app.

Bilateral trade between the two countries hit 27.25 billion US dollars in 2005, and the figure reached 11.74 billion US dollars in the January-May period of 2006, up 17.4 percent over the same period last year.

CQC is a recognized, government-approved body focused on 皇冠体育app Compulsory Certification (CCC).

Experts said the newly established company is the first cooperation between the two countries' leading certification institutions and a milestone in the internationalization of 皇冠体育app's certification services.
