why Your Company Should Attend
Pharmaceutical — The landscape for pharmaceutical regulation in China is changing as clinical trials proliferate and new GMPs take hold. Recently, several US government agencies and China’s Ministries of Health and Commerce established a working group for a public-private partnership in the healthcare sector charged with encouraging research, training and regulation in several areas, including pharmaceuticals. In the US, FDA is increasing its supply chain oversight, post-market surveillance activities and generally clamping down on non-compliers. Understanding the legal and regulatory landscape in China and the US is essential.
Medical Devices — SFDA recently announced 96 new standards for devices, which are scheduled to go into effect June 1, 2012. The US FDA is reviewing its regulatory approach to medical devices. From product development, to clinical trials, to manufacturing and a growing consumer base, both Chinese and multinational companies with an interest in medical devices need to stay current with the changing regulatory and legal landscape in both countries.
Food — The Chinese Ministry of Health will soon be issuing new protocols on investigating food safety incidents and providing additional training for investigators. The Chinese government is reviewing food additive issues. The US Congress recently passed the Food Safety Modernization Act, and President Obama has requested an increase of $170 million in additional funding for FDA’s food program. Staying on top of all of these changes in regulation, law and policy is an absolute necessity for any company working in the food sector.
Cosmetics — China is a rising player in the cosmetic industry as both a major source of raw materials and consumer base. In the United States, FDA approves color additives, operates the Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (a post-market reporting system for use by manufacturers, packers, and distributors of cosmetic products), and can pursue enforcement actions against violative cosmetic products, firms and even individuals. Being aware of regulatory developments in both countries can yield more efficient business operations.
Dietary Supplements — SFDA is paying increasing attention to reforming regulation of products the US regulates as dietary supplements. These efforts could enhance China’s role as a manufacturing hub for these products. In the United States, manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that a dietary supplement is safe before it is marketed, but FDA can and does take action against unsafe dietary supplement products.
