On June 17, Cotecna successfully held a seminar on "Conformity Assessment & Consumer Product Inspection & Textile Certification" in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. The seminar focused on the key points of Verification of Conformity (VOC) assessment and the latest regulations. Through professional technical sharing, industry experience exchange, and in-depth analysis of compliance certification challenges, it created an efficient platform for technical exchange and resource matchmaking for the participating enterprises.
During the seminar, senior technical experts from Cotecna combined the latest regulations and market access requirements to deliver a detailed interpretation of VOC conformity assessment standards, certificate application procedures, documentation review specifications, on-site inspection determination details, and regulatory updates. Furthermore, the experts analyzed compliance risks using real customs clearance cases and streamlined standardized operational procedures, helping enterprises effectively avoid issues such as cargo holds, returns and penalties, and ensuring efficient and compliant customs clearance.

In addition, the seminar featured a "Textile Certification Service" sharing session, designed to help local textile enterprises accurately align with the market access rules of different overseas markets, enhance their core product competitiveness, and support the quality improvement and upgrading of the traditional textile industry.
The seminar also provided a brief introduction to Cotecna's consumer goods inspection services. These services cover the entire production process, mainly including initial production inspection, in-process inspection, final random inspection and container loading supervision, helping enterprises detect quality deviations in a timely manner at each production stage and reduce post-delivery claim risks. Cotecna can also provide value-added services such as factory social responsibility audits based on customer needs.

This seminar was closely aligned with regional industry characteristics and precisely targeted the compliance pain points of the textile and light industry sectors. Through highly practical and actionable content, it helped enterprises map out the full compliance process for overseas expansion, strengthen quality control management, and comprehensively enhance their ability to manage risks in overseas markets.
