2022-01-13

Quality is the key to success of a business and it is basically what consumers pursue. To satisfy this market need, HKCC (Hong Kong Certification Centre) launched an independent certification scheme for product quality - the “STC Certified” Mark (the “Mark”) to provide an unambiguous definition of product quality for Hong Kong, Macau, Mainland China (including the Greater Bay Area) and overseas markets.

What’s “STC Certified” Mark?
The Mark is a product quality certification mark. It helps consumers identify, at a glance, that the product has been certified by HKCC to relevant local and international standards. To ensure it represents the best quality mark in the market, type-testing and market surveillance are regularly undertaken.
