Sept. 9 (UPI) -- The Federal Communications Commission has launched proceedings against seven laboratories that review and approve electronics for use in the United States for being owned or controlled by China.
The FCC announced the launch of the proceedings Monday with the intent to revoke their recognition as accredited test laboratories for testing electronics for approval for the U.S. market, accusing them of posing a risk to national security.
The seven labs were identified as UL-CCIC Company Limited, which is based in Suzhou, China; TTL CAICT, based in Beijing; CVC Testing Technology (Shenzhen), based in Shenzhen; TUV Rheinland/CCIC, based in Ningbo; CQC Internet of Vehicles Technical Service, in Shenzhen; CVC Testing Technology, in Guangzhou; and Chongqing Academy of Information and Communications, in Chongqing.
"Foreign adversary governments should not own and control the labs that test the devices the FCC certifies as safe for the U.S. market," the FCC said in a statement.
