A virtual ‘Reference laboratory 2020’ (RL2020) involving EU and Chinese scientists and technicians will be developed to showcase and demonstrate best practice and the state of the art in high quality food analysis. The EU-China-Safe project will develop a “twinning” model to establish a network of EU and Chinese laboratories, in order to align and harmonise the activities of these two complex networks.
By bringing together a powerful and unique combination of EURL, NRLs and CNRLs with complementary expertise, EU-China-Safe will enable the EU and China to work more closely together in harmonising a broad range of analytical methods. The virtual laboratory will benefit from modern communication (web based) and a common IT based platform in order to support a jointly operated method inventory including standard operation procedures, validation, quality control measures and laboratory web conferences for the selected best practice examples in authenticity testing and food safety analysis.
