In 2020, a sudden new crown epidemic swept the world, and had a major and far-reaching impact on the manufacturing and foreign trade industries at home and abroad. In order to accelerate the recovery of the economy affected by the epidemic, various countries have adopted corresponding policies to boost the economy. The inspection and certification policies related to import and export are particularly obvious.

The following is based on the policy adjustments of relevant countries. According to statistics, the major export markets of China have made changes to the product certification system due to the epidemic, and companies with relevant export businesses can refer to and implement them.

Up to now, the most affected part of overseas certification is the factory inspection. Different countries have different policies. Some recognize Chinese certification agencies and implement factory inspections without any impact, and some use remote online audits to make certification. It can be implemented normally, and some can only wait for the on-site audit after the epidemic has eased, which will affect the certification cycle.
