The meaningness for MET
1. Significantly reduce the cost of certification testing. MET manages the operation of the company with a flat organizational structure, which greatly reduces management costs, so it has more cost advantages in product certification and is more cost-effective.
2. Significantly reduce factory inspection costs. As a customer-oriented certification company, MET does not impose a "fine" for abnormal items found during factory inspection. At the same time, MET advocates a humanized factory inspection mode, giving customers and households more factory guidance!
4. Reduce the energy spent on certification. MET can provide technical guidance to customers, so that customers can grasp the relevant product requirements faster. In this way, customers can greatly reduce their research efforts on product technology.
5. Reduce the time spent on certification. MET continuously improves the service process, greatly shortens the process time, and allows customers' products to have more time to market.
6. The customer fills in the application form, and MET provides a quotation
factory inspection
The inspection frequency of MET certified factory inspections other than products used in hazardous environments is twice a year. Products used in hazardous environments are indicated in the MET report, and the corresponding factory inspection is 4 times a year. Since March 2009, in response to the requirements of the relevant US government departments, all new Chinese factories applying for certification have changed to 4 inspections in the first year and 2 inspections every year thereafter.
