　　Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba is cooperating with four third-party inspection agencies to improve the quality of products.

　　The four agencies are China Certification and Inspection Group, Swiss inspection and certification company SGS, German inspection agency TUV and the French-based quality inspection firm Bureau Veritas.

　　Alibaba initiated a new service named "Zhong guo zhi zao," or "Made-in-China," on its e-commerce platform Taobao.com in April to provide a sales channel for manufacturers which process products for foreign brands.

　　The company is attempting to introduce more professional and stricter inspection services for manufacturers using Taobao.com in order to guarantee the quality of products sold on the platform.

　　Taobao.com has attracted more than 45-hundred manufacturers with average daily sales of 40 million yuan, or over 6 million U.S. dollars.
