CONGRATULATIONS to the Hong Kong Standards and Testing Centre on its 30th anniversary. The centre pioneered the specialised field of products testing in Hong Kong. Over the years, it has played a useful role in providing this important service to local industry, initially as part of the Federation of Hong Kong Industries and, in more recent years, as an independent non-profit-making company. When the Hong Kong Laboratory Accreditation Scheme was established by the Industry Department in 1985, the centre was one of the first local laboratories to be granted accreditation. The centre has served Hong Kong faithfully for three decades. I wish it every success in the years to come. DENISE YUE Director-General of Industry
