Facilitating Trade

Helping to advance business excellence
Strict quality control is essential to competitiveness. Use of ISO standards is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years, with 25 per cent of the world's certificates being issued in China.

To respond to the emerging need, QMI signed an agreement with China Certification & Inspection Group Co., Ltd. (CCIC) enabling QMI to serve its clients through 20 CCIC hub offices across China with more than 300 auditors.

Expanding in Asia
To respond to rising demand, CSA International has built a presence in Asia, increased revenue from China, and set an expansion strategy to meet the growing business needs of our clients. Redeployment and hiring of local staff, securing testing facilities and increasing awareness of CSA International marks and services are just some of the initiatives underway in the Far East.

Better products
OnSpeX, our new consumer product evaluation service, was successfully launched in 2004, testing everything from tools, pools and trampolines to appliances, housewares and garden products. OnSpeX was selected as one of only two global service providers to Canadian Tire. OnSpeX also opened a business center in Shanghai.
