HKPC and MORLAB Join Forces to Offer One-Stop Testing and Certification Service for Mobile Telecommunications Products

Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) was accredited by the Office of the Telecommunications Authority (OFTA) to provide certification service for telecommunications equipments for use or sale in Hong Kong under the Hong Kong Telecommunications Equipment Evaluation and Certification Scheme starting from 1 February 2010.

Mr Frank Leung, General Manager (Automotive and Electronics) of HKPC, said: "The appointment of HKPC as one of the local certification bodies by OFTA clearly demonstrates our competence in testing and certification."

To complement this new service and to provide one-stop quality testing and certification service for the electronics and telecommunications industries, HKPC recently (23 February 2010) signed a collaborative agreement with Shenzhen Morlab Communications Technology Co., Ltd. (MORLAB), holder of multiple Mainland and international test service accreditations.

Under the agreement, HKPC and MORLAB will join forces in helping the mobile communications equipment developers to achieve Hong Kong certification for their new products. HKPC will certify the equipments tested by MORLAB to confirm their compliance with the technical specifications of OFTA.

Mr Leung said: "By leveraging the professional expertise and advanced facilities in telecommunications equipment testing of both parties, this partnership will offer comprehensive and high-quality testing and certification service support for electronic industries in Guangdong and Hong Kong. Local consumers will also benefit from a wider choice of telecommunications products."

Mr Shu Luan, General Manager of MORLAB, said: "With this partnership, MORLAB and HKPC can establish a one-stop testing and certification service platform for Guangdong and Hong Kong. It will also facilitate electronics and telecommunications companies in the Mainland to introduce their high-quality products to Hong Kong and become another example of Guangdong-Hong Kong cooperation."
