China Makes Critical Advancements in Digitalization: Issues First E-Certificate

The Chinese National Gemstone Testing Center (or NGTC for short) has issued the first digital certificates (or e-Certificate) for their strategic partner, Chow Taifook (or CTF for short). This is an important step for NGTC’s digitizing transformation. By downloading the NGTC APP or using the WeChat Applet, a user only needs to scan the NGTC certificate code to retrieve the NGTC digital certificate immediately. According to the director of the NGTC Digital Center, NGTC digital certificate is based on the digital service model of "one jewellery (or a piece’s gem/diamond) - one certificate - one code - and one chain", using one code (NGTC certificate code) and one chain (Blockchain) and electronic signature technology, presented in a purely digital way. This is the first effort & to realize the real paperless certificate, providing more scientific, fair, accurate and efficient third-party testing services and freshening consumer experience.
