1. institutional overview
National Jewelry and Jade Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (NGTC), as a typical representative of Chinese jewelry appraisal institutions, is a national professional quality inspection institution authorized by AQSIQ. After nearly 20 years of development, the center has developed from a research laboratory with only 10 people to a national quality inspection center with nearly 300 employees, and has set up first-class laboratories in Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Panyu and Hong Kong, taking the lead in realizing comprehensive network management in China and reaching the international leading level in management system and technical strength.
The main task of the center is to undertake compulsory market supervision and spot check, arbitration inspection and import and export commodity inspection, and provide entrusted inspection services for jewelry enterprises and consumers. The center has a large market share, completed the identification of millions of commodities, established a good image of science and justice in consumers' minds, largely restricted the proliferation of counterfeit and shoddy products and maintained the normal order of the market.

2. Development direction
At present, it is an important period for the development of jewelry testing industry, and it is also a key period for NGTC to accelerate its career development. NGTC always takes serving society, service industry, service market and service economy as its primary goal. Adhering to the strategy of strengthening inspection by science and technology and talents, strengthening inspection ability, improving brand awareness and enhancing market competitiveness are the development directions of N GT C.
2. 1 Increase infrastructure construction and investment in instruments and equipment.
The National Center for Quality Supervision and Inspection of Jewelry and Jade is the earliest laboratory engaged in jewelry testing in China, and it is also the first laboratory to introduce large-scale instruments and equipment such as infrared spectrum, Raman spectrum and X-ray fluorescence spectrometer for jewelry testing and scientific research. NGTC's laboratories in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Panyu and Hong Kong are equipped with the most advanced testing equipment to ensure the scientific and accurate data.
2.2 improve the employment mechanism to ensure the implementation of the strategy of "compulsory inspection of talents"
Make full use of existing conditions, rationally allocate all kinds of personnel, take various measures, while accelerating the introduction of high-quality talents, pay attention to charging existing personnel with professional knowledge and technology, ensure the timely update of knowledge structure, train high-level inspectors, and comprehensively improve inspection ability. A group of young and middle-aged experts, technical leaders and senior laboratory managers with innovative spirit have been trained. The certificate-holding rate of technicians is over 95%, and the national registered jewelry quality inspector is 60%.

2.3 the implementation of scientific and technological inspection, improve the ability of independent innovation.
With the development of science and technology, the methods and technologies of artificial synthesis and optimization of gems are changing with each passing day. How to correctly identify and identify these varieties is a severe test for jewelry quality inspection institutions. In order to give full play to the role of jewelry quality inspection institutions in escorting the industry, break through the obstacles of international technical barriers to the export trade of China's jewelry industry, and strive to maximize the interests of domestic jewelry enterprises and consumers. NGTC has continuously increased its investment in scientific research, improved its independent innovation capability, carried out research on the formulation (revision) of new technologies, standards and regulations, and gradually changed from technical institutions to technological innovation and R&D institutions.
2.4 the implementation of scientific management, establish the image of authoritative testing institutions.
Through cooperation and exchange with domestic and foreign jewelry inspection institutions, we will introduce foreign advanced management experience and appraisal methods, gradually improve inspection methods, and gradually build a brand of jewelry inspection institutions with strict management, exquisite technology and economic and social services in China, thus providing strong technical support for China's jewelry industry.
