What the Hong Kong Safety Mark (HKSM) covers, who needs it, and how SZC-LAB tests and certifies your product for Hong Kong, China.
Voluntary product safety certification scheme administered by the Hong Kong Certification Centre - type testing plus periodic factory surveillance.
Market context: Mainland China, Taiwan (China) and Hong Kong (China) each run their own approval systems.
No - the Hong Kong Safety Mark (HKSM) is not a legal requirement for Hong Kong, China. It is applied for voluntarily, but in practice buyers, retailers and tender documents frequently request it, so most exporters treat it as commercially mandatory.
The Hong Kong Safety Mark (HKSM) is only as strong as the test report behind it. We run the underlying work - Product Safety Testing and the related programme for your product - in our own CNAS & ILAC accredited laboratory in Shenzhen, then prepare the documentation the Hong Kong Safety Mark (HKSM) application is built on.
