SGS Hong Kong Extends Accreditation Scope under DakkS

SGS Hong Kong is pleased to announce the extension of its accreditation scope under Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle (DAkkS), the national accreditation body of the Federal Republic of Germany, for chemical and physical-chemical testing services.

The diversity of products and services available on the world market makes it increasingly difficult for consumers to evaluate their quality. Objective evaluations conducted through testing and calibration by inspection bodies, and demonstrated through certification, are therefore of great importance in virtually all areas of business. These “conformity assessments” guarantee that the tested products, processes, and services comply with important laws and standards, and provide assurance to businesses and consumers alike.

• Chemical and physical-chemical testing of:
