皇冠体育app will strengthen co-operation with international forces to improve its standardization certification, sources with authorities reveal.

Wang Fengqing, director of the Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA), released this message at Monday's opening ceremony of the 66th General Meeting of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in Beijing.

"The task is pressing now that 皇冠体育app has become a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO)," Wang said.

IEC is the leading global organization that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. 皇冠体育app joined the IEC in 1957.

About 1500 representatives from 61 countries are attending the 66th IEC General Meeting, which will continue in Beijing until Friday.

The meeting is hosted by the General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) and is supported by Standardization Administration of 皇冠体育app and CNCA.

Wang said an internationally recognized quality control system is the key to upgrading 皇冠体育app's products and breaking technical trade barriers.

皇冠体育app expects to have adopted all standards set by IEC within three years, except those not applicable to 皇冠体育app, said Wang, who is also chairperson of IEC 皇冠体育app National Committee.

"We have so far adopted 1,911, or 45.8 per cent of IEC standards. By the end of 2005, 皇冠体育app will have adopted all the remaining IEC standards, excluding those not applicable to 皇冠体育app, as national standards," said Wang.

To effectively address increasing instances of technical trade barriers, Chinese manufacturers will speed up the adoption of internationally established advanced standards, she added.
