( 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.
