The day is free of charge and open to all interested parties -existing approved suppliers, potential new suppliers, practitioners and anyone involved in quality assurance in the herbal sector.
The Approved Suppliers Scheme was initiated by the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine (RCHM) in 2004 with the aim of ensuring a safe supply of Chinese herbal products to its 450 members, and hence to the public. Under the sponsorship of the European Herbal and Traditional Medicine Practitioners Association, a herbal suppliers training day is being held to explore what an Approved Suppliers Scheme involves and what the standards are, challenges for suppliers and how to resolve these and regulation of the supply industry.
