[3 June 2024, Xinjiang, China] Hong Kong Standards and Testing Centre (STC) is pleased to announce STC and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Government have jointly launched STC (Xinjiang) Company Limited (STC (Xinjiang)). The unveiling was co-hosted by Mr. Yüsüpjan Memet, Standing member of the Party Committee and Vice Chairman of the People's Government of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region*; Mr. Lifan ZHU, Vice Chairman of the People's Government*; and Professor Richard FUNG, Chief Executive of STC. This new service centre in northwestern China marks a new and historic milestone for STC. It also marks closer cooperation between Hong Kong and Xinjiang in testing, inspection and certification, helping the local industry further integrate international standards while opening up broader markets for Xinjiang’s high-quality products.
Located in the Eurasian part of the continent, Xinjiang was an important part of the ancient Silk Road; it served as a transportation artery that connected China to Central and Western Asia. Modern-day Xinjiang is a core region of the Belt and Road Initiative.
Establishing an international, independent testing and certification organisation in Xinjiang will contribute to local and national economic development, as well as help raise local living standards.
Professor Richard FUNG, Chief Executive of STC,joined a trip for economic and cultural exchange to Xinjiang last year led by Mr. Chun-ying LEUNG, Vice-Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Under Mr. LEUNG’s impetus, the STC (Xinjiang) project soon received full support from various parties of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, including the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Administration for Market Regulation, and the Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute.
Professor FUNG expressed his excitement, “I am thrilled and deeply grateful to all for their comprehensive support and mobilisation of manpower and resources in seeing this project to fruition. It is a delight to see STC's service network reaching so far. I would also like to give a big thank you to Mr. LEUNG, and the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Government for their staunch support."
STC (Xinjiang) will be positioned as an international and independent third-party testing, inspection and certification organisation offering world-class services to the Xinjiang region and China. The company aims to assist in furthering the quality, international competitiveness, and recognition of myriad high-quality specialities of Xinjiang. STC will furthermore leverage its technological advantages, management expertise, and international network, and collaborate with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Administration for Market Regulation of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to assist in building high-quality Xinjiang brands.
