Autumn in September, sweet osmanthus fragrance. On the morning of September 5, 2026, on the occasion of the third anniversary of the formal implementation of the barrier free environment construction law, China Classification Society Quality Certification Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "CCSC") and China disabled assistive device center (hereinafter referred to as "assistive device center") formally signed a framework cooperation agreement at the 2026 China International Welfare Expo and China International Rehabilitation Expo. This signing ceremony attracted the attention of many industry experts and exhibitors, and became an important achievement of this expo in the field of standard leadership and quality assurance.
At the signing ceremony, Zhang Yi, General Manager of CCSC Barrier-free Environment Construction Service Promotion Center, and Wu Yi, Director of Information and Cooperation Department of Assistive Tools Center, signed the agreement on behalf of both parties. Tian Wei, chairman of CCSC, and Shi Zhiqiang, deputy director of the Assistive Tools Center, jointly took the stage to witness the signing of the contract.
At present, Chinas aging barrier-free industry is in a period of rapid development. The supply of market-related products continues to increase, but the quality is mixed: how the handrail is loaded, the anti-skid coefficient is high and low, whether the operation interface is convenient, whether it can adapt to aging vision, etc., consumers are not easy to judge, and high-quality products are difficult to stand out. In the face of the current situation of the industry where the standard system is not perfect and the credibility of product certification needs to be improved, there is an urgent need for industry authorities and authoritative certification bodies to form a joint force to speed up the completion of key shortcomings such as technology, standards and certification, and jointly promote the development of the aging barrier-free industry towards high quality and standardization. It is driven by this realistic demand that CCSC and Assistive Center officially launched this framework cooperation. According to the agreement, the two sides will take this opportunity to focus on the overall situation of national barrier-free environment construction and the development of the cause of the disabled, focus on the field of barrier-free products suitable for aging, and carry out omni-directional and multi-dimensional in-depth cooperation around key links such as technology research and development, standard formulation, inspection and certification, and transformation of scientific research achievements, so as to accurately escort aging barrier-free products.
As an authoritative organization approved by the state and with barrier-free environment certification qualification, CCSC has achieved a comprehensive layout in the aspects of aging barrier-free product certification, environmental certification and service certification. At present, its core indicators such as the number of certification certificates and the size of the auditor team rank first in the country. As a second-class public welfare institution directly under the China Disabled Persons Federation, the China Assistive Device Center has long undertaken the research and development, promotion, quality supervision and industry service functions of national assistive devices, and has carried out scientific research and development, knowledge promotion, and technical training in assistive devices. A lot of fruitful work has accumulated profound professional resources and industry influence. The purpose of this cooperation is to accurately focus on the shortcomings of the aging barrier-free industry in standards, certification, and achievement transformation, and give full play to the professional and technical capabilities of both parties in "technical control" and "demand insight", and ultimately for the disabled, The elderly and other members of society provide more high-quality, safe and reliable products and services.
This signing is not only an integration of resources, but also marks that the cooperation between the two sides in the field of aging barrier-free products has officially entered a new stage of complementary advantages and collaborative efforts. The strong combination of the two sides will inject new strong impetus into the improvement of barrier-free product quality and the optimization of industry ecology. The cooperation between CCSC and Assistive Equipment Center is not only a pragmatic action to implement the "Barrier-free Environment Construction Law", but also an innovative practice to promote the high-quality development of the industry with the power of standards and certification. In the future, as the cooperation between the two sides continues to deepen and become more practical, we will strive to let more disabled people and the elderly share the fruits of development and feel the temperature and goodwill of society in a quality life.
