As the most professional chemical regulation conference in China, this annual meeting has become an essential forum for experts from national regulatory authorities, chemical industries and testing institutions to share regulatory developments, compliance experience and practical issues. Nowadays, not only public expresses grave concern over the food safety issues, the mass media also writes tracking reports about food scandals. Meanwhile, the government is pushing harder on improving the food safety standard, strengthening the supervision of food safety, reinforcing law enforcement and intensifying industrial self-discipline. In such a case, the Food and Food Contact Material Annual Summit, part of the CRAC 2014 serials, will be jointly held by REACH24H and Zhejiang institute of standardization at InterContinental Shanghai Puxi on Oct 13 (Mon) 2014, to enhance industries’ understanding of the updates of the food and food contact material regulations. The summit will discuss the issues including supervision of the Chinese Imported Food, the regulation of the health food and genetically modified food and requirements of Chinese food labeling. Participants will benefit from the in-depth discussions and have their confusion and concerns instantly answered. Direct communication and guidance from the regulatory authorities makes the delegates get the most accurate interpretation of regulations. Therefore, the speakers we invite for this summit are key officers of relevant governmental authorities such as AQSIQ, local CIQ, NIFDC and experts from top research organizations.
