Intertek offers a food contact conference to address the latest developments in China following the 'clean-up' process
18 Apr 2016
12.-13. October 2016
Munich, Germany
Intertek, a leading quality solutions provider to industries worldwide, will be offering a Conference to address the latest developments in China following the “clean-up” process on October 12-13, 2016, in Munich, Germany.
In December 2009, China Ministry of Health (former MOH) launched a “clean-up” petition process, in which manufacturers or importers of unapproved food contact materials were permitted to file petitions in order to seek appropriate clearance. From 2011 to 2013, MOH or China National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC) has successively issued three batches of official approvals for 107 resins, 301 additives and 258 additives intended for food contact use in China. Thus, any food contact materials that are not in the current listings or approved in a listing in the three batches of “clean-up” listings will be subject to a formal petition.
In 2012, NHFPC started likewise “clean-up” process for food contact standards aiming to forming a systemic set of food contact standards in China. Now that “clean-up” process is in final state, companies are struggling to keep up with the growing number and complex nature of food contact regulations and safety requirements that are expected to come in force as of 2016 in China.
This Conference has been designed to focus on:
- Update on food contact regulatory framework after the “clean-up
- Management of Food Contact Registration in China
- Migration and model prediction of harmful substances in food packaging
- Show synergies in compliance approach of China, EU and FDA
…and many more Asian food contact and chemical notification requirements
This event is hosted by Intertek with support of Plastics Europe and is designed to address themes relevant to food contact materials throughout China. The event agenda has been designed to bring together industry leaders, in addition to regulatory bodies, associations and expert consultants.
Some of the proposed presenters include:
- China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment
