US agency votes to ban Chinese labs from testing US electronics
· Trade · United States · China
A US agency voted to ban all Chinese laboratories from testing US electronics, the latest move by Washington to crack down on China over technology issues and equipment. The decision extends restrictions on Chinese involvement in certification processes for electronics sold in the US, part of a broader push to reduce reliance on Chinese testing and supply chains over security concerns.
Why it matters：Removing Chinese labs from certification could raise costs and slow approvals for electronics makers while hardening technology decoupling.
