On 8 November 2016, CEOC, ETICS, EUROLAB and IFIA
organised the 7th International Safety Conference at The Stanhope
Hotel in Brussels. This year’s conference focused on the question of how
to ensure product safety in a global market. The event brought together more
than 100 participants from the European institutions, consumer, retailer and
industry associations and the TIC sector to address issues related to consumer
product safety and to shape solutions with all the actors involved.
The event started with the key
note speech given
by James Woudhuysen (Professor of Forecasting and
Innovation) on ‘Key consumer issues, 2016-21, and what to do about them’.
The
two highlights of the event – the results
of the 2016 Market Study and the Present
& Future e-compliance model in the electrotechnical sector – was
followed by a panel discussion
moderated by Laura Shields (Director, The Media Coach). Representatives
from the European Commission, TIC
sector, industry and market surveillance organisations participated in
the discussion.
