The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) was a Chinese government agency responsible for overseeing product quality, safety, and compliance with standards. It aimed to protect public health and safety by regulating the quality of goods entering and leaving the country, ensuring that they met national and international standards. AQSIQ also played a crucial role in the inspection and quarantine of imported and exported products, including food and agricultural items. This agency worked to prevent the spread of pests and diseases, thereby safeguarding both consumers and the environment in China.
