Apparently non-notable under our improved guidelines for companies and organisations. It gets a few passing mentions on Gbooks and Gnews, nothing resembling in-depth coverage. There may be plenty of that in a language which I regret I cannot read.

NB: the article was created by nuisance/hoax editor Alec Smithson, now globally locked. The page is short because in 2016 I removed as unreliable all the unsourced content he had added; some or even all of it may have been correct. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:01, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment, as I mentioned on the talk page, the organisation may have an important role in antique certification. Seems to be the Hong Kong equivalent of the British Antique Dealers' Association.  Their certificates of authenticity are frequently cited on auction items.  I think the best thing to do with this is to merge into another article, but none of List of antique dealers' associations, List of art dealers' associations, or Antique dealers' association seem to exist.
