ICPHSO – 4th European Meeting and Training Symposium
November 18 – 19, 2008
Charlemagne Building
Brussels, Belgium

Consumer product safety attracts more and more attention, and every link of consumer products, such as the supervision, trade, design, manufacture and marketing, has become globalized. In this situation, it is impossible to ensure the safety of products from any single link, for it is a common responsibility for every related stakeholder. Only by recognizing this common responsibility and enhancing cooperation can we better facilitate international consumer product trade and protect consumers’ health and safety.
