A leader in Korea’s testing, certification and technical consultation industry, KTR shares a key similarity with STC in that both strive relentlessly to enhance the quality and safety standards of consumer products.

Hong Kong is the second biggest importer of Korean cosmetics, personal care and beauty items.

On this occasion, the two organizations exchanged regulatory information and explored opportunities for further collaboration.

The KTR team expressed appreciation for the host’s reception and invited STC to a return visit. “STC and KTR are indeed comparable in terms of scale and service nature. We are expecting a higher level of cooperation with our Korean counterpart, and it’s certainly not limited to cosmetics registration in China,” said Candy Chan, Senior Manager of STC’s Chemical, Food and Pharmaceutical Department.

Hong Kong, May 9, 2018 – Embracing the latest enactment of European Medical Devices Regulation (MDR), Mr. Jonathan Tang, Study Director of STC, is sharing his insights of statutory improvements and system modernization today at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The seminar on updates on procurement guidelines and medical device regulations, organized in parallel with Hong Kong International Medical Devices and Supplies Fair, gathered thoughts and ideas of in-service personnel from industries of medical devices, technologies, supplies and healthcare products.

“Effective on May 25, 2017, the new regulation primarily affects import of medical devices into the European Union. The MDR will be replacing the EU’s current Medical Device Directive (93/42/EEC) and Directive on active implantable medical devices (90/385/EEC). I hope that my speech could alleviate medical device manufacturers’ concerns towards those significant amendments”, said Jonathan.

Per and Polyfluorinated Chemicals (PFCs) are widely used in products of everyday life such as textiles, clothing and food contact materials for their better water and stain resistance. However, PFCs are very difficult to be decomposed and may impose potential health threats to human.

For help protecting the environment, Adidas Group has committed to phase out PFCs in 99% products sold, including Adidas Golf, Reebok, Five Ten, CCM, and licensees, by December 31, 2017. To meet this goal, suppliers of Adidas have to ensure their products’ compliance with the newly established requirement by conducting Fluorine test in qualified laboratories.

As an international not-for-profit organization specialized in testing, inspection and certification aiming to support global buyers and suppliers in quality management, STC(Vietnam) – a subsidiary of STC Group (Hong Kong Standards and Testing Centre), was in cooperation with Adidas Vietnam License office to host the seminar “Compliance Requirement: PFCs Policy” exclusive for Adidas suppliers on 10th March, 2017. During the Q&A session, a lot of questions related to PFCs’ definition as well as other requirements following Adidas compliance policy were raised by T1 and T2 suppliers, showing us the great interest this topic has generated to our audience.

Should you have any enquiries, please contact Ms. Candy Chan (candychan@stc.group) in Hong Kong or Ms. Tuyen Pham (tuyenpham@stc.group) in Vietnam for further information.
