Knowing the type of injection molding machine you want to import from China is critical.
This is in terms of specifications and meeting quality standards.
Knowing the specifications and quality standards of a particular injection molding machine to be imported from
China varies by destination country/region.
However, before importing from China, you must consider the following elements of the injection molding machine.
Technical specifications
Before importing from China, it is important that you understand the technical specifications of your injection molding
machine.
This helps identify what you want.
Technical specifications include voltage, model, features, efficiency, control system, protection level and weight.
You can also have the control system and export packaging.
Safety standards and technical documentation
As the importer, it is your responsibility to inform your manufacturer of the applicable safety standards and technical
documentation required in your country/region.
This helps to manufacture injection molding machines that are safe to use in your jurisdiction.
Failure to notify your manufacturer could result in the manufacture of an injection molding machine that meets the
safety standards applicable to China.
Safety standards and documentation vary by destination
For example, if you are in the European Union, your injection molding machine must comply with the Injection Molding
Machine Safety Directive and be CE compliant.
If you are importing into the United States, specific ASTM standards must be considered for your injection molding
machine.
You can consult the appropriate authority to determine which ASTM standard to use.
Wherever you import your injection molding machine from China, you should comply with the local safety standards.
Test Reports
A test report proves that the injection molding machine is safe to use and that you will not encounter technical problems
while using it.
There are two ways to obtain a test report for your machine.
The first involves you using an accredited third party for laboratory testing.
This is an expensive option because you have to pay the costs involved.
The second option involves importing an injection molding machine that has already passed the testing process and
has a report.
The test report should contain details such as manufacturer, issuing company, product ID, release date and necessary
regulations.
You can import all kinds of injection molding machines from China.
