Donald Choi, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Chinachem Group
, said, “Underlined by the Group’s core value of creating a balance of ‘People, Prosperity and Planet’, we are committed to setting high green building standards, reducing carbon emissions, promoting sustainability and creating positive value for the environment and society while building quality and comfortable homes to meet residential needs. Adoption of the new MiC system not only enhances construction efficiency and ensures building quality, but also streamlines the on-site construction process. This helps reduce waste and noise generated during the construction, as well as lowering carbon emissions to bring a positive impact to the community and the environment.”

Choi added that the Group and GBIMT would create synergies through the joint innovation, development and adoption of new proptech applications. GBIMT, a subsidiary of Guangzhou Municipal Construction Group Co., Ltd. (GMCG) which is among the Fortune Global 500, is a market leader in prefabricated buildings in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and Guangdong Province. It has multiple accreditations in ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001 and other management systems, as well as QSPSC:2014 certification by the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency.

Liang Huqing, Chairman of GMCG Guangzhou Municipal Construction Group Co., Ltd. said, “To echo the policy of the Central Government in promoting the development of the GBA, GMCG has collaborated with many Hong Kong construction enterprises in technology research and development, engineering construction, market development, brand promotion, training and information exchange, with the aim of achieving mutual benefits and complementing each other to strive for excellence in a win-win situation. In this close collaboration with Chinachem Group, GBIMT is providing MiC products and services for the Tonkin Street project, the first high-rise residential project using a concrete MiC system in Hong Kong, and has made innovative accomplishments in the adoption of DFMA, MiC, BIM, digital construction and other technologies. Building on this foundation, the two companies have now signed the MoU of strategic partnership. I firmly believe this will be a long-term and solid collaboration with great prospects.”

Chinachem Group is the first private developer in Hong Kong to apply the concrete MiC System in a private residential project. The Tonkin Street project in the heart of West Kowloon, in collaboration with the Urban Renewal Authority, is also the first MiC project of the Group. The technology will soon be adopted for another of the Group’s property development projects at Tung Chung Traction Substation, which is of a much larger scale and will further promote sustainability.

IAF Endorses the IAQG Certification Scheme in Memorandum of Understanding

Recognition Demonstrates the Value of Accreditation in the Aerospace Sector

Brussels, Belgium – News Direct – 9 August 2023 – The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG®) recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that endorses the IAQG Certification Scheme, as a sub-scope of the IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA).

The IAQG Certification Scheme is designed to promote consistent and efficient certification processes across the aerospace industry while reducing the cost and complexity of supplier audits. It provides the framework for independent, recognized third-party management system certification of aviation, space, and defense products. Aerospace companies can have confidence that suppliers holding accredited certification to the IAQG Certification Scheme are certified to the highest standards of quality management and that their products and services meet the rigorous requirements of the aerospace industry.

“The IAF MLA enables mutual recognition of accredited certification and validation/verification statements between IAF MLA signatories, and thereby the acceptance of accredited conformity assessment results in many markets based on one accreditation,” explained Emanuele Riva, IAF Chair. “Recognition of the IAQG Certification Scheme under the IAF MLA will enable organizations holding accredited certification to this scheme to benefit from increased market access and reduced audit costs while upholding the standards of quality management critical in the aerospace and aviation industry.”

Through this MoU, IAF and IAQG will develop and maintain close cooperation to ensure harmonization in the accreditation practices performed by IAF members for the IAQG Certification Scheme. Both organizations will work together in the continuous improvement of the scheme to provide the highest level of competence in the IAQG Certification Scheme’s accredited certification bodies (CBs).

“The IAQG and IAF are global leaders in reducing risk and moving beyond compliance to deliver consistently high performance,” said Andy Maher, IAQG President. “Signature of this MoU will enable companies holding accredited certification to expand their reach, explore new business opportunities, and compete effectively in global markets, in line with IAF’s vision of ‘accredited once, accepted everywhere’.”

This MoU went into effect on 27 June 2023.

About the International Aerospace Quality Group:
As an international non-profit association under Belgian law with an office registered in Brussels (Belgium), the IAQG® sets the standard for quality within the worldwide aerospace industry supply chain. The organization is comprised of member companies within the aviation, space and defense industries that design, develop, manufacture and support original equipment at system or subsystem levels. The IAQG is committed to establishing a commonality of quality systems and improvement standards. These standards are documented, published, and applied internationally by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and circulated throughout the supply chain. To learn more, visit www.iaqg.org.

About IAF:
The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) is a global association of accreditation bodies, conformity assessment body associations and other organizations involved in conformity assessment in fields including validation and verification and the certification of management systems, products, processes, services and persons.
