On September 16, 2026, the ASEAN Natural Ingredients International Compliance & Innovation Forum, a key concurrent forum of CPHI & PMEC Shenzhen, was successfully held at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center (Futian).
Jointly organized by ZMUni Compliance Centre, the China Chamber of Commerce for Import & Export of Medicines & Health Products, and Shanghai Sinoexpo Informa Markets International Exhibition Co., Ltd., the forum brought together industry experts to explore regulatory requirements and market access strategies for novel food ingredients, cosmetics, and health foods across China, ASEAN, and other global markets.
The forum featured five expert sessions covering both domestic regulatory developments and international market access:
An invited expert from the National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment (CFSA) discussed China's regulatory framework and application requirements for novel food ingredients, genetically modified products, and synthetic biology-related products.
Weiping Tang, General Manager of ZMUni's Food Business Division, shared practical insights into food and dietary supplement regulations in Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, and other ASEAN markets, alongside key registration systems in China, the U.S., and the EU.
Qingquan Guo, Director of the Guangdong Functional Cosmetics Engineering Technology Research Center, explored ASEAN cosmetics regulations, market access requirements, and opportunities under RCEP.
Zizhen Fu, General Manager of Kangpu Jishi (Shaanxi) Health & Life Technology Co., Ltd., compared safety and efficacy requirements in China and ASEAN and introduced strategies for reusing research evidence across multiple markets.
Sarah Shu, Founder and General Manager of ZMUni Compliance Centre, discussed key requirements for novel cosmetic ingredient registration in China, as well as regulatory considerations for the U.S., EU, Japan, South Korea, and ASEAN markets.
From new ingredients and cosmetics to health foods and international registration, the forum focused on practical compliance challenges companies face when expanding into new markets. Through discussions on registration, market access, safety and efficacy studies, and cross-market regulatory strategies, the event provided practical insights to help companies better navigate regulatory requirements in China and overseas markets.
