CADS Concern Well Received in Asia<br />

CADS Seminars<br />

in China and India<br />

Environmental protection and the avoidance of hazardous<br />

substances along the entire production chain<br />

take pride of place among the set goals of the CADS<br />

Cooperation, now under the aegis of the German Shoe<br />

Institute (Deutsches Schuhinstitut or DSI). High priority<br />

attaches to internationalisation of these projects.<br />

That is why <strong>PFI</strong> Hong Kong has taken on the task of<br />

organising CADS seminars for China and India.<br />

The objective of the seminars was to familiarise technicians<br />

and managers from Chinese and Indian footwear<br />

factories with the legal requirements pertaining<br />

to hazardous substances in consumer goods intended<br />

for the European market, to present the new CADS<br />

limit values, and to demonstrate technical solutions<br />

for avoiding or reducing the concentrations of critical<br />

substances.<br />

The CADS Seminars organised by <strong>PFI</strong> at Wenzhou<br />

and Dongguan attracted 170 participants<br />

NEWS<br />

In China the seminars took place in Wenzhou and<br />

Dongguan on 20 and 22 November 2012. A total of<br />

170 participants attended the seminars, which were<br />

held in Chinese. Lively discussions testifi ed to the avid<br />

interest of the participants in the subject matter.<br />

Similar CADS seminars in India were scheduled for 4 and<br />

6 June 2013 – this time the seminar language was English.<br />

The venues were in the footwear industry centres<br />

Chennai and Noida. Both CADS seminars in India took<br />

place after this <strong>PFI</strong> <strong>Newsletter</strong> edition went to press.<br />

Further CADS seminars are currently in preparation.<br />
