I received several emails yesterday inquiring about the requirements needed for AQSIQ registration. You do not need to be a large plastic scrap processor to be eligible for the AQSIQ. In fact, any company that can provide the below mentioned items and submit a registration form is eligible:

1. Notarized copies of your business license and tax registration documents. These documents need to be translated into Chinese and notarized.
2. Blueprints of your office, storage facility, or processing plant (include size and units). You also need to provide a video AND 8 or more pictures with complete views of the office/storage/processing plant.
3. You must own a radiation detector. If you do not own one, you can purchase one online.
4. ISO 9001 is officially required (If you’re not registered with ISO 9001, it’s not complicated, search for an ISO 9001 registration organization in your country of business). If you have any other quality management system or RIOS system or any other related authentication certificates, provide color copies.

*Due to the confusing nature of registering for AQSIQ, I strongly recommend hiring a third-party registration company to fill out and submit the application on your behalf. If you have any questions regarding this article or AQSIQ/CCIC in general, email me at andrew[@]recycledplastic.com.
