The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States has initiated procedures to revoke the certification of seven electronic product testing laboratories owned or controlled by the Chinese government on national security grounds.
The independent regulatory agency in the United States has initiated procedures to revoke the certification of seven electronic product testing laboratories owned or controlled by the Chinese government, citing national security reasons.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced on Monday (September 8th) that the certifications of four other laboratories have expired in May this year and will not be renewed, including two laboratories that have applied for an extension.
The FCC voted in May this year to ban Chinese laboratories deemed to pose a risk to US national security from testing electronic devices such as smartphones, cameras, and computers that can be used in the United States.
FCC Chairman Carl said, "Foreign hostile governments should not hold or control laboratories that can test FCC guaranteed safe use of equipment in the US market. ”
All electronic products used in the United States must be approved by the FCC before importation. The FCC states that approximately 75% of electronic products are tested in laboratories within China.
FCC will take action against China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, National Center for Quality Inspection and Testing of Connected Vehicle Products, Weikai Testing, and Rheinmetall Inspection (Ningbo) Laboratory.
The relevant laboratory did not immediately respond to media inquiries, and the Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately comment on Monday, but had previously expressed opposition to the United States' "excessive expansion of national security concepts, use of state machinery and long arm jurisdiction to suppress Chinese companies, and opposition to politicizing trade and technology issues" |
