Personal Information Export Certification is a mechanism that allows companies to transfer personal information outside China after receiving certification from an approved body. This certification confirms that the company meets required data protection standards.

It is often used by multinational groups transferring data within corporate structures. To obtain certification, businesses must demonstrate strong internal controls, risk management systems, and legal compliance.

Regular supervision may apply after approval. This mechanism provides an alternative to security assessments or standard contracts in certain situations. Companies must evaluate which transfer method best fits their operations.
