Changan becomes first Chinese automaker certified by SGS as an approved witness testing laboratory
The certification was formally issued at Changan's Intelligent Research Institute, following a rigorous two-month evaluation by SGS experts. The recognition enables Changan to independently conduct overseas certification tests under SGS supervision, streamlining its global compliance process while enhancing product quality assurance. Setting a new benchmark for safety and quality
As Changan ramps up its international presence, this certification provides independent validation of its intelligent testing capabilities. For markets like the UAE and Saudi Arabia – where regulatory frameworks are evolving and consumer expectations around technology and safety are high – this milestone signals that Changan vehicles are built to meet global requirements.
It also reflects the company's investment in advanced R&D and robust quality controls, as it continues to introduce new energy vehicles (NEVs) and smart mobility solutions to the region. Certification details
SGS conducted a detailed review of Changan's Intelligent Research Institute, auditing:
• 17 international certification standards
• More than 500 internal documents and systems
• Four major testing sites and technical infrastructure
• 30 engineers and testing personnel
Achieving AWTL certification is the result of a highly selective and rigorous process. SGS grants this status only to facilities that demonstrate full compliance with international standards such as ISO/IEC 17025, covering stringent criteria around equipment calibration, testing protocols, engineer competency, and quality management systems. Changan's successful certification followed an intensive two-month audit, reflecting the company's strong internal governance and technical excellence. Even after certification, all testing conducted under the AWTL framework remains subject to SGS oversight, ensuring ongoing adherence to the highest global standards. This recognition stands as a clear marker of Changan's operational maturity and international credibility.
Following a comprehensive evaluation, Changan met all international benchmarks and officially received the certificate in July 2025. The achievement allows Changan to execute a wide range of product validation processes independently, with SGS oversight, accelerating time-to-market across key regions.
Mr. Xiao, General Manager of Changan Automobile's Middle East and Africa Division, said: 'The SGS certification is a powerful validation of Changan's leadership in intelligent mobility. For our customers and partners in the Middle East, it reinforces our commitment to bringing world-class vehicles that meet the highest safety, quality, and performance standards. As demand grows for smarter, more sustainable transportation across the region, certifications like this ensure we're building on a foundation of trust, technology, and global best practice.'
The certification also signals Changan's readiness to meet the demands of regulators, distributors, and consumers in new markets. As the brand scales its NEV offering and intelligent vehicle range across the Middle East, this recognition supports its ambition to deliver innovation with global credibility.

As the emirate continues its digital transformation, CyberArk will help provide the secure, zero-trust based foundation organizations need to modernize and migrate to the cloud.'
