China is currently the United States' largest goods trading partner. The ANSI China Program has helped to build stronger relationships between the U.S. and China in the areas of standards and conformity assessment since 2006. ANSI’s rich experience helps companies and organizations open doors and expand their footprint in the Chinese market.
ANSI's China Program demonstrates ANSI’s ongoing commitment to fostering Sino-American cooperation to facilitate trade. Opportunities for open dialogue between the U.S. and China on standards and conformity assessment are critical to facilitating greater understanding and smoother trade relationship. It is our mission to create a balanced environment to allow stakeholders to discuss challenges and strategies, exchange information across industry sectors, and provide perspectives on issues that affect U.S. ability to do business in China.
