China: accreditation guidance for laboratories testing laser processing equipment
On 4 February 2026 the national accreditation committee issued technical guidance for laboratories testing laser processing equipment.
- Technical guidance explains how to apply the general accreditation criteria in a given field — the level of detail the standard itself does not give.
- Laser processing is a fast-growing area of Chinese industry, and testing such equipment calls for particular attention to safety and power measurement.
- The document is part of a 2026 package and is entered in the list of documents laboratories are assessed against.
