The US has revoked the credentials of two Chinese test laboratories for providing false or incorrect equipment test results. The affected labs are SLG-CPC Test Laboratory and Shenzhen STS Test Services. The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) cited these labs for willfully submitting inaccurate data in connection with equipment authorization applications. This action is part of a broader effort to curb the import of Chinese-made gadgets by targeting untrustworthy testing facilities.
The FCC is also planning to take similar action against Shenzhen CTB Testing, which has been under scrutiny for its testing practices. The move follows a pattern of US efforts to reduce reliance on Chinese testing services, which are seen as potentially compromising product safety and regulatory compliance. The decision underscores growing concerns over the reliability of third-party testing in the US market.
This follows a series of actions by the US government to tighten controls on Chinese imports, particularly in the tech sector. The FCC has previously decertified other Chinese labs for similar violations, indicating a sustained campaign to ensure that only credible testing entities are allowed to operate within the US. The recent revocations highlight the increasing regulatory pressure on Chinese firms to meet international safety and quality standards.
