atrify is ready to support you testing with NMPA!
GS1 China and the NMPA are ready to test manufacturers’ data received from atrify. atrify has been engaging directly with GS1 China and the NMPA for the last 4 months on the process and submission requirements and have already worked with several device manufacturers to successfully submit items to the NMPA’s test environment. In addition, we have developed the needed quality checks to ensure smooth submissions to both GS1 China and the NMPA. The NMPA data model is fully supported by atrify’s message-based connections. We continue our excellent collaboration with GS1 China and continue to stay aligned on the GDSN processes and procedures to keep fully up-to-date with any new NMPA requirements. Hua Wang from GS1 China says “We really appreciated working with atrify during this pilot phase, for their dedication and deep understanding of our requirements.”
