implication
The new national standard seeks digital transformation, sustainable development and improved quality of life in areas such as electric vehicles, smart appliances, packaging and travel services. All of the above industries are 'promising industries' with high demand in the Chinese market, which means that China's technological prowess continues to be strengthened.
Currently, a number of Korean companies have already entered or are hoping to enter the Chinese market, such as robot medical services, massage chairs, smart home appliances, automobiles, and packaging. Relevant enterprises should carefully review the standards announced this time, make corresponding adjustments, and ensure that the design and function of products meet the requirements of the standards so as not to affect exports and distribution to the public.
