The Federal Communications Commission unanimously voted to ban all Chinese and Hong Kong testing labs from certifying electronics for U.S. sale, citing national security concerns and affecting approximately 75 percent of devices currently tested in Chinese facilities. The ruling extends a previous ban on 15 state-owned labs to all remaining Chinese labs, requiring manufacturers to shift testing to more expensive U.S., European, and Taiwanese facilities.
