Various Certification System On International Trade

After China has entered WTO, at the time of facing new great development in economy, the worldwide application and introduction and popularization in China of various certification systems, including ISO9000 Quality Management System, ISO14000 Environment Management System, OHSAS18000 Social Occupational Health and Safty Management System, SA8000 Social Accountability International Standard, HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) and so on have exerted an extremely extensive and far-reaching influence on international trade and economic development of the world.With the enhancement of legislation on environmental protection and improvement of consumers' environmental awareness, ISO 14000 environmental management certification system is being paid more and more attention to at present.

In this case, the outstanding enterprise administrators will not only be satisfied with the old mode of " management afterwards ", but will also take positive measures to improve the management of enterprises.As for the training about promoting workers to participate in management system, its aim is to strengthen the communication between the laborers and the capitalists, make the suggestions of both sides really expressed, promote the mutual understanding of both sides, and finally increase efficiency.

They require implementing mandatory authentication directly or indirectly on the products related to such projects as security, hygiene, environment protection and electromagnetical interference and so on.
