Our history
In July 2015, ACC Quality Testing Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., founded by a team of overseas returnees, was registered and established in the Shanghai Pudong Free Trade Zone. That same year, the company invested in establishing its Shanghai laboratory headquarters, officially launching its presence in the Chinese market and commencing preparations for its testing and certification business.
It was approved as a "certification and accreditation body" by the China Certification and Accreditation Administration, and in October was selected as a model enterprise for institutional innovation in the China (Shanghai) Free Trade Zone. Han Zheng personally visited and guided it, which marked that its business has received authoritative recognition and high attention.
In November, it was the first to register for "low GI product certification" with the Certification and Accreditation Administration, leading the development of domestic voluntary certification; in December, it established its only overseas joint innovation laboratory with Fonterra Group, simultaneously expanding its technology and cooperation scope.
Continue to develop a number of voluntary certifications such as the "antibiotic-free and hormone-free" double-free certification to help with food iteration and upgrading.
We provide GRAS declaration services for functional ingredients, helping Chinese companies expand internationally and serving renowned brands such as Danone and Zespri. That same year, we established a company in Sanya and partnered with Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City to operate a fresh-keeping application research laboratory, extending our business presence to Hainan and expanding our research into fresh-keeping technologies.
We will continue to deepen our presence in the fields of food and dietary supplement testing and certification, as well as R&D services, continuously improve our technology and service quality, and keep up with industry trends.
Our vision
Let healthy food reach every family in the world
Our cultural philosophy
Focus on quality and safety
We specialize in food and dietary supplements, particularly organic food and dietary supplements. We prioritize product quality and safety and are committed to providing consumers with safe, high-quality food and health products. By establishing strict testing and certification standards and utilizing specialized testing technologies, we ensure food safety throughout the entire supply chain, from farm to table.
Innovation leads service
Adhering to the philosophy of innovation, we provide one-stop services to Chinese food companies, leveraging new concepts in food technology, a quality control system for regional agricultural product brands, and innovative certification services. We continuously develop new certification programs and service models, such as various voluntary certifications, to meet the diverse needs of the market. We expand from certification testing to R&D services, adhering to the concept of "quality by design," filling market gaps and helping companies enhance their product R&D and innovation capabilities.
In line with international standards
We have a professional team of food industry scientists, including a number of flexible experts based in the United States. We can match specific regulatory experts to specific product categories, including plant extracts, bio-fermentation, and synthetic biology. Our toxicology team has over 20 years of experience in successful FDA GRAS and NDI applications. Leveraging these advantages, we introduce cutting-edge international food safety concepts, testing technologies, and certification standards to help domestic and international food companies conduct localized testing and certification, shortening cycles and reducing costs. This ensures the compliance of food exported to the United States and produced domestically, as well as ensuring that food imported into China meets Chinese market access requirements. This builds a bridge of market trust and promotes the international development of the industry.
