"repair and after-service activities for goods with encryption"
What does it mean here, "after-service"?
In advance thank you.

Meliss, what are 'goods with encryption'? After-service in the UK is usually referring to a support base on offer once the main part of some work has been carried out.

This might include regular checks on the condition of the work, follow up questionnaries and telephone calls checking on client satisfaction, etc.

I am not sure about those 'goods with encryption', just can quote the same document:
"the inclusion of cryptographic capability had become very common in commercially traded technology goods, such as laptop computers, cellular phones, and handheld devices".
Back to "after-service", I suppose it something like after warranty service?

I would say you are right about warranty cover. SB.

Sorry for repeating. And what is "SB"?

After-service is what stores, for example, would boast of when selling you something. They mean: "We are not only distinguished from other similar stores in the quality of our goods, but we also offer you solutions for problems that might occur with the goods you buy from us". In other words, it is as some colleagues mentioned above the "support" given to you after you make a purchase.

And what is "SB"?
