The purpose is to help streamline work processes of the government and make improvements through optimization of the business environment:

• Focus of the Pilot Project
  • Manufacturers in the fields of household and similar equipment, electronic products and safety accessories have been identified by the relevant designated certification bodies to carry out self-inspection and self-certification pilot projects.
