On October 14, 2025, World Standards Day, the “Guangdong Standardization Innovation Development Conference and 2025 World Standards Day Promotion Event” was held in Foshan, Guangdong. During the event, a new batch of 27 “Greater Bay Area Standards” was officially announced. Among these, CMA Testing was awarded a plaque and confirmation certificate as one of the lead compiling units for the “Care Food GBA Standard”, fully demonstrating its leading role and contributions in testing technology and standard formulation, and further advancing high-quality development through Greater Bay Area Standards.
The “Care Food GBA Standard” is the first standard in the silver economy sector led by Hong Kong industry stakeholders. Developed in collaboration between The Hong Kong Council of Social Service and The Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong, it was officially included in the “Greater Bay Area Standards” list on September 25 this year. This standard provides clear guidance for “care food” producers in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, helps unify testing procedures, enhances product quality, promotes technological innovation and food safety, and creates more cross-regional cooperation and market expansion opportunities for Hong Kong manufacturers, effectively benefiting the silver-haired population across the Greater Bay Area and nationwide.
That same afternoon, Mr. Dominic Lam, Chief Operations Officer of CMA Testing, along with The Hong Kong Council of Social Service and the Shenzhen Association for Analysis and Testing, visited the Guangdong Standardization Research Institute. There, they studied the history and successful cases of standardization and engaged in mutual exchanges.
