Any enterprise operating legally within the People's Republic of China may apply for certification, including enterprises manufacturing tangible goods, selling tangible goods, and providing intangible goods (services).

Commodities refer to products entering the consumption sector. In addition to tangible products, commodities also include intangible services. Both industrial goods and consumer goods fall under commodities.
Tangible commodities feature external forms, inherent quality and promotional elements, such as quality, packaging, brand, shape, style, color tone and cultural connotation.
Intangible commodities cover labor services and technical services, including financial services, accounting services, marketing planning, creative design, management consulting, legal consultation, programming and so on. Intangible commodities are generally generated alongside tangible commodities or tangible infrastructure, such as airline services, hotel services and beauty services.
Therefore, all production, trading and service enterprises with independent legal person status are eligible to apply for certification.
