Extended Shutdown of Chinese Certification Authorities Due to New Coronavirus

30. January 2020

Due to the coronavirus that is currently spreading in China, the Chinese government has already taken extensive measures to curb the spread of the virus inside and outside of China.

In addition to the proclamation of the quarantine status for the city of Wuhan and several cities in the surrounding area, the holidays for the Chinese New Year have now been extended for many authorities and test laboratories. We assume that most of the certification authorities and test laboratories will resume their work on February 10, 2020.

According to current information, up to this day most certification authorities, test laboratories and customs offices in China are closed and many employees will not work in the office which may result in delays in the application process.
