In recent years, SYTECH (Group) has been actively participating in IEC international standardization activities, extending international cooperation and communication, leading or participating in developing new international standards, and cultivating talents in international standardization. All these enable the CCL industry in China to gain the right to voice and expand its influence in the field of international standardization. Hope SYTECH’s voice will be more powerful in the international standardization arena.
