After China's WTO entry, especially after 2012, the Chinese government allowed domestic market to open wider to famous foreign testing, inspection companies. With their knowledge, skillful experts, capital strength and rich management experience, the foreign inspection companies have helped many Chinese companies to meet international quality standards, thus becoming important players in the Chinese inspection market.

"China's investment environment is very positive and we have had a good relationship with the government. Meanwhile, TÜV Rheinland is closely aligned with several international chambers of commerce and trade development organizations in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. These provide the clients with a clearer understanding of market trade and import requirements. TÜV Rheinland is also affiliated with several reputable organizations in the Chinese mainland, including the China Entry & Exit Inspection and Quarantine Association (CIQ), the China Quality Certification Center (CQC) and the China Certification and Inspection Co Ltd (CCIC)," said Luebken.

Looking into the future, the company will invest heavily in green industries, such as energy saving, carbon footprint and consulting service.
