CHTC continues to closely follow the COVID-19 situation as it develops around the world. Our foremost concern is the health and safety of our staff, inspectors, individuals at the operations we certify and their families.

We are committed to supporting our customers and their businesses at this time. Our team has developed a range of solutions as scheme owners' advisory note and accreditation body’s guidelines to ensure the continued validity of your certification. With travel restrictions and the spreading of the virus, we are mindful of the risk to you and your employees as well as the safety of our auditors.

Our solutions include the extension of your certificate to avoid time-sensitive deadlines, use of remote audits via various forms of communication such as DingTalk and Wechat. Until the virus is contained and conditions improve, we will work diligently for you to maintain your certification with the highest level of integrity.

If both the operator and inspector are available carrying out the inspection, these functions must be carried out on condition that all the precautionary measures established between the people, avoid gatherings, avoid physical contacts, use of masks, wash your hands whenever possible or use portable sanitizers, etc.
