This year marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Shanghai Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce. As one of the important part of the celebration, the “Pet-Friendly Premises” was officially launched. Developed independently by CMA Testing based on international standards and the practical needs of commercial spaces and pet owners, the initiative has established a comprehensive scientific and quantifiable evaluation system. Covering areas such as environmental hygiene, facility configuration, service processes, and emergency management, CMA Testing has set detailed assessment criteria for pet-friendly scenarios. The aim is to help commercial spaces truly achieve “human-pet dual friendliness” — ensuring that pet owners feel at ease when bringing their pets for consumption, while also safeguarding the comfort of other customers, and creating new drivers of consumption growth for shopping malls, commercial streets, and dining establishments.
At the ceremony, CMA Testing, together with the co-organizers, presented the first batch of national evaluation certificates to the two commercial entities that first passed the initiative — Bingang Commercial Center and Jinqiao International Commercial Plaza. This marks that these two venues have met good standards in terms of pet reception protocols, cleaning and disinfection procedures, and emergency facility provisions, officially becoming “standardized” pet-friendly spaces.
After the certificate presentation, all the guests, along with pet-loving families and their furry companions, took a group photo together and joyfully began the walking segment. At the same time, the “Spring Stroll Bingo Market” opened in the North Plaza, bustling with lively crowds and heartwarming human-pet interactions.
In the future, CMA Testing will join hands with the Shanghai Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce, the Pet Fashion Culture Center, and more partners to jointly promote a comprehensive upgrade of the urban ecosystem and new consumption scenarios that embrace human-pet coexistence.
