Together with STC, over 700 companies from Australia, Brazil, Dubai, Germany, Japan, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Italy, Singapore, Thailand, the United States and more gathered and showcased innovative toys, advanced technologies and reliable technical services, making the event a hub for the industry’s manufacturers, buyers and service providers to exchange insights and explore trends.
During the exhibition, STC's booth drew many toy manufacturers and buyers who shared their quality and compliance challenges in different markets. Providing professional advice on the latest regulations and testing standards, the STC team also presented integrated testing, inspection and certification solutions, especially for products to obtain China Compulsory Certification (CCC) and Vietnam’s CR mark certification before entering relevant markets.
Mr. Johnny WONG, General Manager of the Toys and Children’s Products Division at STC said, “As a long-established testing organisation serving the global toy industry, STC is honoured to participate in this international event. We enjoy this valuable chance to introduce our wide range of toy safety testing services and our excellent track record of assisting clients across markets.

[7 June 2025, Hong Kong] Hong Kong's economy is undergoing rapid transformation. The silver economy is one of the sectors receiving increasing attention, bringing focus many relevant daily products, such as healthcare products, food, electronics, etc. The enormous business potential is calling on local businesses and brands to continuously produce high-quality, safe and green products to stay competitive. To promote local quality brands, enhance public awareness of product safety and strengthen support for Brand Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Standards and Testing Centre (STC) and the Hong Kong Certification Centre (HKCC) jointly hosted the 2025 Certificate Award Ceremony and Product Safety Carnival, which officially opened on Friday, 6 June, at Citywalk Phase 1 in Tsuen Wan. The ceremony attracted over 400 representatives from businesses, government officials and the public, creating a vibrant and star-studded atmosphere.

With Hong Kong as its base, STC has established branches and offices in multiple locations, promoting the advantages of Hong Kong testing and certification globally and reinforcing Hong Kong’s story." He further emphasised that independent third-party testing and certification organisations play a key role in setting quality standards for products, helping drive local elderly-care product certification to enhance credibility and attractiveness. By strengthening protection for silver consumers, these efforts align with government policies to boost the silver economy, supporting the broader promotion of "quality assurance of silver products". Following his speech, Mr. CHEUK presented certificates to the 44 companies that achieved HKCC certification this year and interacted with exhibiting companies to understand more about the current retail market trends.
