On the 8th, US regulatory authorities announced that, citing national security concerns, they have initiated procedures to revoke certification for seven testing laboratories identified as being owned or controlled by the Chinese government, banning these laboratories from testing US electronic products.
According to foreign media reports, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in May voted to approve a final decision banning Chinese laboratories deemed a threat to US national security from testing electronic devices sold in the United States, such as smartphones, cameras, and computers.
On Monday, the FCC announced that certification for another four Chinese laboratories had expired in May and would not be renewed, including two laboratories that had applied for an extension of their certification.
The commission stated that actions will be taken against several companies, including the National Vehicle Networking Product Quality Supervision and Testing Center, Vkan Certification & Testing, and TUV Rheinland Inspection Services (Ningbo).
