The total sales volume in Guangdong Province for the first half year is RMB 109.5 billion, with 6.3% increase compared with the one in last year which was RMB 103 billion, while the number of the furniture manufacturers is growing by 15% in average in the recent 5 years. 1

The more standards and requirements come from Europe and America, the more technical barriers come to local furniture manufactures.  In that case, furniture products quality plays significant roles against the barriers. During the development of furniture industry, the restrictions will affect exports, also to the manufacturers, greatly affect the vital interests of traders. However, we are aware of it or not, once the export of furniture products do not meet the requirements of the importing countries or regions, will take the risk of recall, even foreign governments’ block? DEKRA as the authoritative third party inspection organization can provide comprehensive test services for you, no fear of trouble in the rear.
