At the beginning of 2020, the sudden COVID-19 pandemic disrupted normal life. To support cities that have been hit the hardest by the pan- demic, TÜV Rheinland, with more than 1,000 enthusiastic employees and the support of the China Youth Development Foundation, donated RMB 500,000 in total to the Wuhan University of Zhongnan Hospital. Funds were used for patients’ treatment and purchase reagents, protective equipment and other related materials needed for pandemic prevention. In addition, during the early stages of the pandemic, the company’s e-commerce team rapidly provided free inspection services and doc- ument qualification audits of protective equipment for Alibaba and Jindong ( JD). TÜV finished the first batch of application materials audit within 48-hours to help medical supply exporters successfully enter cus- toms on time. The company also held public live streams online to guide companies on how to deal with relevant risks. TÜV will continue to work closely with all parties involved to strictly control the quality of medical protective equipment and support pandemic prevention.
