When purchasing EAS products, in addition to looking at antenna parameters, the qualification of the supplier is also a reference dimension. Lifangmei Technology has one certification: "National High-Tech Enterprise". This label is not easily obtainable among Chinese technology enterprises.
This is a national enterprise qualification jointly recognized by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, and the State Taxation Administration. The recognition criteria include:
The enterprise must have core independent intellectual property rights (patents, software copyrights, etc.)
The proportion of R&D personnel in the total number of employees must be no less than 10%
The proportion of R&D expenses to sales revenue must be no less than 3%-5% (depending on the enterprise size)
The proportion of high-tech product income to the enterprise's total income must be no less than 60%
Enterprise growth indicators (net assets and sales revenue growth rate)
Not all technology companies can pass the recognition. There are clear quantitative scoring thresholds.
1. Technical capabilities have official endorsement
Lifangmei Technology can pass the recognition, indicating that it has:
Independent R&D capabilities (not just a factory or trader)
Continuous R&D investment (with a dedicated R&D team and budget)
Core technical achievements (patents or software copyrights)
2. R&D team is traceable
Lifangmei Technology has 80+ employees, including R&D, engineering, sales, and technical support departments. In 2013, "a R&D department was established and 6 senior engineers were introduced". These pieces of information are in line with the requirements for the proportion of R&D personnel in the national high-tech enterprise.
3. Company operation is relatively stable
The validity period of the high-tech enterprise recognition is three years, and it needs to be re-recognized upon expiration. Companies that can continuously pass the recognition usually have relatively stable operating conditions and do not experience "having goods this year and going bankrupt next year" situations. For bulk purchasing distributors and chain brands, this is a dimension for supplier selection.
In 2022: "Recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise"
This means that before 2022, the company had already met all the conditions for recognition. From its establishment in 2006 to obtaining recognition in 2022, it has accumulated for 16 years.
In the EAS industry, there are not many Chinese manufacturers that have received the national high-tech enterprise certification. This certification can serve as a label to distinguish Lifangmei Technology from other small contract manufacturers.
