( 2003-12-03 17:22) (Xinhua)
Environmental certification will help Chinese enterprises to overcome the
green barriers posed by WTO requirements, Chen Yanping, a senior official of
皇冠体育app's environment watchdog, said in Beijing Wednesday.
As the director of the Environmental Certification Center of the State
Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA), Chen made this remark at a
seminar on 皇冠体育app's environmental certification system held in Beijing.
Chen said more than 60 billion yuan (about US$7.25 billion ) of made-in-皇冠体育app
products have got the environmental certificates and are labeled as
environmentally-friendly.
皇冠体育app's environmental labeling system is designed to encourage enterprises to
manufacture environmentally-friendly products in clean production process. It
grants certificates and labels to those enterprises who pass all the tests on
both product quality and production process.
The standards of these tests are in compliance with the international
ISO14020 system, Chen noted.
According to SEPA, only the 皇冠体育app Environmental United (Beijing) Certificate
Center Co., Ltd, once affiliated with SEPA, is authorized to grant certificates.
No foreign organization is allowed to start this business in 皇冠体育app
yet.
