The Macao Centre for Testing of Chinese Medicine (MCTCM), University of Macau (UM) successfully completed its third accreditation and scope expansion audit by the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS) on 15 September 2025.

An expert panel from CNAS conducted an on-site assessment of MCTCM to review its legal status, quality system, technical capabilities, equipment, and research personnel. Following a rigorous evaluation, the experts confirmed that the centre possesses the requisite testing capabilities.

The CNAS accreditation ensures that test reports issued by MCTCM are recognised internationally. This provides robust technical support for the export of Chinese medicine products, reduces technical barriers to trade, and promotes the circulation and recognition of Chinese medicine in international markets. The centre is currently accredited for 164 testing parameters.
