The certificate was awarded as part of the 2017 annual '315' Consumer Day in China. The Certificate recognises companies that have demonstrated exceptional product quality and service to consumers in China.

The Certificate is awarded only to companies who have no quality issues over a three year period with exceptional quality control and high social responsibility.

In the health products category Blackmores was one of the 20 foreign companies to be awarded the Certificate.

Speaking in Beijing after receiving the award, Blackmores Managing Director Asia, Mr Peter Osborne said, "Receiving the Product and Service Quality Demonstration Company Certificate from the China Association for Quality Inspection is a huge honour for Blackmores and we deeply appreciate the support of CAQI and AQSIQ for recognising our product quality and service."

Mr Osborne also noted that, "Blackmores' commitment to quality ensures we consistently meet or exceed the expectations of our customers and comply with Australia and China's high regulatory standards and requirements. We source premium ingredients from approved raw material suppliers around the world, testing them in accredited laboratories for identity, purity and potency. Every Blackmores' product passes through more than 30 rigorous quality checks and tests before being released for sale."

"We're so proud to receive this recognition and would especially like to thank all of our suppliers who work so closely with us to ensure we provide the world's leading natural health solutions," said Blackmores Chief Executive Officer, Christine Holgate.

Speaking in Sydney today, Christine Holgate said, "We are extremely pleased that the Chinese Premier Li Keqiang is arriving in Australia this week and I look forward to participating in the program of his visit and to having the opportunity to discuss how we can make a positive contribution to his Healthy China 2030 vision."
