CRAC 2017 the 9Th Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference 2017 The 9th Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference CRAC 2017 Hangzhou | Oct . 31-Nov. 2, 2017 Organizer: REACH24H Consulting Group Co-Organizers: China Chamber of Commerce of Foodstuffs and Native Produce Zhejiang Institute of Standardization (ZIS) Zhejiang WTO/TBT Research & Response Center Shenyang Research Institute of Chemical Industry Media Partners: Xinhua News Agency China News Service China Environmental News China Chemical Industry News China Agricultural Means of Productionhe The Chemical Daily (Japan) Bloomberg BNA ChemLinked Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference 2017 Grasp the Pulse of Regulatory Affairs and Focus on the Value of Compliance In recent years, with the rapid economic development and globalization, the relations are getting closer and more mutual benefits are shared among all nations. Therefore, environmental safety and human health have become an important global issue. Governments around the world have successively promulgated regulations to monitor the risk management and promote the sustainable development in all industries. Will the environmental protection and economic development be like the fish and bear’s paw, or they can complement each other to build a mutually beneficial relation? In the times of opportunities and challenges coexisting, the governments and enterprises all need to adopt effective measures to cross the turning point of Environmental Kuznets Curve and strike a balance between economic development and environmental health. Since 2009, REACH24H Consulting Group has successfully held eight Chemical Regulatory Annual Conferences (CRAC). For years, CRACs have been well positioned to gather together officials from competent authorities, industries elites and professional scholars, serving as exceptional platforms for them to exchange regulatory updates, share compliance experiences and make acquaintances. As one of the most prestigious information technology summit in the industry, CRAC has become a key platform to communicate, cooperate and collaborate for all countries. CRAC2017 will focus on the four major industries including industrial chemicals, pesticides, food contact materials and consumer products, and invite the competent authorities, senior technical experts, industry associations and enterprises to set up a multi-party communication platform to provide the latest regulatory information, exchange the practical compliance experience, explore the future development of the industry and strive for the green, safe and sustainable development. Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference 2017 Conference Highlight To experience the one-stop conference: one conference, covering four industries; five sessions for your choice with one ticket. To directly communicate with the authorities and experts, to gather the latest regulatory information. To network with the leading technical experts and representatives from renowned enterprises. Chinese and English simultaneous interpretations are provided to remove the language barriers. Target Audience Experts from Laboratory /Scientific Research Institute Decision-Makers from Multi-National Enterprise EHS (Environmental Safety and Health) Managers Industry regulations researchers Supply Chain Managers Procurement Mangers BD/Marketing Managers Editors from chemical/ pesticide/ food/ consumer products and other industries Conference Details Time: October 31-November 2, 2017 (Tuesday- Thursday) Venue: Hangzhou Marriott Hotel Qianjiang (No. 399 Juyuan Road, Jianggan District , Hangzhou , China ) Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference 2017 Content Summary 1. Chemical Safety Management- To Build a Community of a Shared Future Chemicals have been an important part of the society, economy, and our daily life. The vigorous development of the chemical industry has led to great increase of chemicals both in variety and scale. However, when enjoying the convenience and benefits, we have to face the risks of chemicals, especially the hazardous chemicals if they are handled improperly. In order to protect the human health and environmental safety, the management of chemicals is becoming ever more stringent around the world, raising the bar for international market access. Therefore, the green trade barriers have gradually replaced the traditional tariff barriers and become the main obstacle that the industries have to deal with. Enterprises should take the initiative to cope with the regulatory technical barriers and expedite their market access. CRAC 2017 will invite government officials and industry experts to analyze the current situation and trend of the global chemical management policies, propose the compliance strategies and share practical experiences to help companies better navigate the regulatory maze there. 2. Global Pesticide Registration- To Pave the Way for Sustainable Development The use of pesticide is an indispensable part of agricultural production, which plays a significant role in ensuring agriculture development and crop production. However, with the rapid development of the pesticide industry, a large number of toxic substances are released into the soil, water and the atmosphere, hindering the sustainable development of agriculture. Hazardous substances have been delivered through bioaccumulation and food chains, destructing the ecological environment. The vast majority of countries have implemented a strict registration system for pesticides management. In 2017, China released the new “Regulation for the control of Agrochemicals " and " Administrative Measures for the Registration of Pesticide (draft)" to ensure the safety of human race as well as animals, and the sustainable development of agriculture, forestry and ecological environment by reinforcing the management system, strengthening the responsibility and increasing the penalties. The EU and the United States have a long history of pesticide management, and have gradually built an efficient pesticide management system with sound laws and regulations and complete supervision systems. Therefore, numerous enterprises are not able to enter markets in the EU and the United States due to the strict registration system. South America and the Asia-Pacific region are also the main target markets to the pesticide export enterprises, where the agriculture is still the first pillar industry and the pesticide management regulations are improving year by year. CRAC 2017 organizes the Global Pesticide Registration Session, inviting the government officials, technical experts and industry representatives from Europe, the United States, South America and the Asia-Pacific region to deliver the latest regulatory information, interpret the compliance strategies and exchange the opinions about the trends of future pesticides development. Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference 2017 3. Consumer Products Compliance- To Achieve the Green Development In recent years, scandals regarding consumer products safety are revealed and reported. The explosions of Samsung mobile phone have aroused global concern, lots of textiles, toys, child care products and electrical products were recalled due to the safety problems. The safety issues not only deliver a heavy blow to the brand image of enterprises but also reduce the consumer confidence index. Research shows that consumers are more willing to pay higher prices for the safer products, which means that business concerns for product safety will bring great opportunities. In 2017, the Chinese version of REACH "Safety Requirements for Hazardous Chemicals in Consumer Products (Draft)" and the “Qualification Management Catalogue (Draft)” of China version of RoHS were released to further deepen supply-side structural reform of the supply side of the consumer goods industry. Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the “Thirteen Five Development Guidance of Textile Industry” to promote the structural adjustment and industrial upgrading of textile industry. ECHA updated the guidance and SVHC list under EU REACH frequently, which caused tremendous impacts to the exporters and manufacturers. Consumers attach great importance to product safety issues. It has become a common mission to comply with the new regulations, promote the industry upgrading and rebuild the public confidence for product safety. CRAC2017 will invite authorities and technical experts to thoroughly analyze the situation of the industry and seek the green compliance solutions. 4. Food Contact Materials Supervision- To Create a Safety Barrier Food safety is intricately bound up with human health, besides the quality of food itself, safety problems caused by the food contact materials occurred frequently. Food contact materials may release toxic and harmful chemical components such as heavy metals, toxic additives when contacting with food, possibly causing adverse effects on human health. As consumers pay increasing attention to the health and food safety, the regulations of food contact materials are becoming more and more stringent around the world. Under such circumstances, in addition to solving the difficulties of technological innovation and quality improvements, complying with the different regulatory requirements from different countries has also become a technical barrier for enterprises. CRAC 2017 will invite authorities and experts from China, Europe, the United States, Japan and Taiwan to introduce the global food contact material regulations and discuss the technical difficulties of regulatory compliance.

  • Metro Fare Clearing Model Verification and Optimization Based
    New Metro (2020) 1(1): 34-47 OPERATION MANAGEMENT Verification and Optimization of Metro Fare Clearing Models Based on Travel Route Reconstruction Pu Yichao1 1School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 201804, China. Email: [email protected] © The Authors 2020 ABSTRACT ARTICLE HISTORY How to verify and optimize metro fare clearing models efficiently and Received: 16-07-2020 accurately is a research focus in metro operations. Metro fare clearing Revised: 10-09-2020 models are mostly based on probability distributions. In such models, the Accepted: 18-09-2020 normal distribution of travel time corresponding to the section probabilities is used to calculate the route choice probabilities of passengers on a multi- KEYWORDS route metro network. By integrating the operating mileage proportions of Fare clearing model Cell phone data each metro line operator and the corresponding route choice probabilities, Automatic fare collection the fare clearing proportions are calculated for all the operators of the metro Travel route reconstruction network. To verify the accuracy of the fare clearing proportions, we propose a travel route reconstruction approach based on cell phone data acquisition technique. With wireless access point (AP) sensors installed at transfer stations, the unique medium access control (MAC) address of the smart phone with Wi-Fi function turned on is recorded and transmitted to a data analysis platform. After matching the MAC address information with time and location, the travel route of the smart phone user is reconstructed. Then, the parameters in the fare clearing model are verified and optimized according to the travel route choice probabilities. The proposed methodology is applied in Hangzhou metro network for experiment, and the metro fare clearing model is verified and modified by reconstructing the actual travel routs of the local passengers.

All rights reserved. Foreword Since our inaugural edition of ‘Inside the Dragon’ in 2010, which outlined the many attributes of outsourcing destinations in China, the services market within China has evolved significantly. As predicted, the growth of China’s Shared Services and Outsourcing (SSO) industry has become a key part of the growing services market within China’s domestic market, and continues to be a strategic focus area for the Chinese government. At the end of 2012, China’s SSO industry stood at USD 46.5 billion, and this is anticipated to double to USD 85 billion in 2015. The fact that the number of cities in this report has risen from 21 to 29 is testament to the government’s unwavering focus. China continues to aggressively position itself as a top SSO destination and is making an effort to “industrialize” this sector. This has created a strong, domestically focused industry as well as an increasingly viable global and regional hub option.

  • Complex Network Characteristics of the Planned Subway Station Network in Hangzhou (2005-2022)
    E3S Web of Conferences 194, 05052 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202019405052 ICAEER 2020 Complex network characteristics of the planned subway station network in Hangzhou (2005-2022) Wu Fang1, *, Zhu Yue2, Zhu Wei1, Hu Xiaojun1, Shen Peng1, Wang Kaiqiang1, Wang Xin1 1Architectural Department, Zhejiang University City College,310015, Hangzhou, China 2Architectural Department, Zhejiang College of Construction, 311231, Hangzhou, China Abstract. The complex network characteristic of the planned subway station system is of great significance to the centrality layout of the existing urban areas. The three phases of the Hangzhou subway plan from 2005-2022 are selected as a case, and the complex network analysis method is used to study the centrality characteristic of the planned subway station system. The study found that with construction, the network density, clustering coefficient, average shortcut distance, all centrality indicators of the network gradually decreased; but in phase Ⅲadjustment, the average shortcut distance, three centrality potential indicators have all rebounded substantially. The newly-added airport rail express line has greatly increased the overall cohesion of the original subway network. The subway station networks of five planning stages all have smaller clustering coefficients and larger average shortcut distances, but none of them have a small- world characteristic, and the scale-free characteristic is still not obvious. 1 Introduction studied the complexity and scale-free characteristic of subway networks; Huang Yong et al. used complex As an effective urban development model for the network analysis methods to analyze the overall, partial, coordinated development of transportation and land use, and individual structural characteristic of the complex Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) has attracted the network of public transportation [5]; Paolo Crucitti et al.
