SamR LICENSE ID: 248 (Previously AQSIQ)

 

After the China's massive government institutional reform in 2018, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) was abolished, and its functions have generally been assumed by the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) and partly been assumed to the General Administration of Customs (GACC).

Before an organization can perform inspections and audits in China, it must first be SAMR licensed for inspections in China. The government agency's review of the submission is strict - In one year generally less than one-quarter of applicants globally are granted the license.

AQF is one of the few companies that are SAMR licensed for inspections in China. AQF has continually prioritized the ongoing reliability of its quality control services, and this license further acknowledges AQF’s expertise in quality control.
