For the blind pursuit of profit, some food manufacturers use food additives in a high dose which impact on people's living quality. This bad social phenomenon results in people's misunderstanding for food additives that the public has been afraid of it. In fact, food additives are not equal to illegal additives. The excess of food additives by some illegal manufacturers will harm the human body, and third party verification is necessary here in order to create a comfortable and health living environment for people. People should also strengthen self-protection awareness, learn more about food safety, not buy the food products with too brilliant color, heavy flavor and unusual taste.

There are 23 kinds of food additives and more than two thousand varieties inspected from global inspection services, including acidity regulator, anti-caking agents, antioxidants, leavening agents, colorants, enzymes, flavor enhancers, nutrition enhancer, preservatives, sweeteners, thickeners, spices, etc. Codex Committee on Food Hygiene defines the food additive as a kind of non-nutritive substances which can only add a little in food products to improve food appearance, flavor, organizational structures and storage properties. 

Actually, food additives, known as the soul of the modern food industry, contribute greatly to the development. For example, the preservative can prevent food spoilage caused by microorganisms, and extend the shelf life of food; it also has the function of preventing food poisoning caused by microbial contamination. What more, during the food processing, appropriate addition of food enrichment which belongs to the natural nutrition, can greatly improve the nutritional value of food, and it is conductive to prevent nutritional deficiencies and promote nutritional balance.

The safe use of food additives is very important. Its toxicity is the ability to cause damage to the body, and besides the relationship with its chemical and physical properties, toxicity is also related with effective concentration, route of exposure and other conditions. Thus, only when the dose of food additives is up to a certain level, the toxic effects will set in action.

We are using a variety of cosmetics every day, and no matter which kind of cosmetics, are constituted by many harsh chemicals, some of the components have direct irritation to the skin, which will possibly result in skin sensitivity, pigmentation, acne and ever worse, cancer. So we must have a clear awareness and choose the products manufactured by qualified companies. Sometimes, inspection services by authoritative third party service provider are necessary.

1. Ethanol

Ethanol has two fatal weaknesses and because of which, large-scale and long-term use of some cosmetics is unfavorable. One defect is its high volatility. And in the process of volatility, moisture will be taken away from our skin. Another defect is the strong decomposition. When the facial oil is decomposed, the protection film on skin surface will be damaged; as a result, our skin will become sensitive and fragile. So using skin care products which contain ethanol in the dry season require our attention.

2. Salicylic acid (BHN)

Initial use of products containing salicylic acid, skin is felt like a boiled egg, soft and slippery. In fact, the reason is very simple, salicylic acid plays a role in cleaning aging skin. However, keratinocytes updated every 28 days, excessive elimination of stratum corneum will undermine the protective layer of skin,  and cause erythema, itching, tingling or hypersensitivity. So the use of salicylic acid need to be careful, it is best to avoid direct contact with eyes, face and mucous membranes.

3. Tartaric acid (AHA)

AHA acid, by making your skin thinning, increases the whitening and exfoliating effect. Although the effect is obvious and immediate, you will soon find your skin become sensitive, even worse, when taking a serious look at cheeks, capillaries can also be seen under the skin. And AHA has a strong photonasty and your skin will be suntanned if using the skin care product in the morning.

4. Lead and its compounds

Lead and its compounds are often added into hair dye. In accordance with state regulations, the content of lead in hair dye products must be less than 0.6% (Pb meter), otherwise it will have side effects and release toxins. By absorbing through the skin, lead and its compounds may be hazardous to human health, particularly affecting the hematopoietic system, nervous system and kidneys.

5. Cadmium and its compounds

In cosmetics products, the content of cadmium and its compounds must not exceed 40mg/kg. The toxicity of cadmium  is small, but cadmium compounds are highly toxic, especially the cadmium oxide. Damages from cadmium and its compounds are primarily to heart, liver, kidney, skeletal muscle and bone tissue.

Broadly speaking, quality inspection covers almost everything in people's life; To be specific, the coating which used to paint walls and furniture should be inspected to see whether it contains excess harmful chemical compositions before being sold in the market; jam should be inspected that whether the additives are non-edible before being spreaded on bread. And in this case, third party verification is more authoritative
and impartial. Because there have always been some tricky marketers who cheat consumers with false information, and due to lack of expertise in a certain profession and specific instruments, consumers are often at a disadvantage. 

Quality inspection mainly plays four roles in the society:

1. Evaluation Function
Inspections will be made in accordance with relevant regulations and technical standards, and the test results will be compared with the standard information, then the judgment will be made that whether the product is qualified or not.  Inspection can evaluate the level of product quality in order to give guidance to the production, commodity exchange and economic activity.

2. Guard Function
By issuing product qualification certificates to qualified products' manufacturers, the quality of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products is also assured.
 
3. Prevention Function
With the inspections for raw material, semi-finished product and finished product from sampling inspection, early detection to the exclusion of inferior-quality products, the final decision will be made whether this series of products are substandard or qualified to go into the next process, which avoid manufacturers' greater losses. Meanwhile, quality inspection can provide the basis for the quality control. Timely detection of quality problems can reduce the quantity of defective products in the society, and prevent the accident due to poor quality of a large number of products from happening.

4. Feedback Function
Records, statistics, analysis and evaluation of the products' information and timely feedback to the managers and other functional departments, are conductive for companies to take appropriate measures to improve product quality.

Every product that is being exported to any place across the globe needs to be sampled, analyzed and certified for quality and standard to bring in clarity and transparency in the international trade market. Therefore, Final Random Inspection is needed. Some countries opt for certain forms of certifications on the products that will assure the quality and correctness to the dealers to whom the commodities are being exported. If you have goods that need to be completed by a certain date or want Third Party Inspection to eliminate all the areas of defects these agencies will help you efficiently. These Third party agencies along with their team of qualified and experienced professional inspectors and engineers who are proficient in both national and international standards will carry out productive inspections and audits to ensure you with a timely and hassle free production delivery.

No matter what the specific industry, quality control is mandatory for any business that produces a good, whether it is for wholesale or retail distribution. From pharmaceuticals to aerospace products to children's toys, quality products ensure happy customer. The term quality management has a specific meaning within many business sectors. This specific definition, which does not aim to assure "good quality" by the more general definition, but rather to ensure that an organization or product is consistent, can be considered to have four main components: quality planning, quality control, quality assurance and quality improvement. China quality control is focused not only on product/service quality, but also the means to achieve it. Quality management therefore uses quality assurance and control of processes as well as products to achieve more consistent quality.

The International Standard for Quality management (ISO 9001:2008) adopts a number of management principles that can be used by top management to guide their organizations towards improved performance. The principles include: Customer focus, Leadership, Involvement of people, Process approach, System approach to management, Continual improvement, Factual approach to decision making and Mutually beneficial supplier relationships.

When you buy something, there is no doubt that you will focus on its quality and function. If there is no guarantee that the product you buy is qualified, I bet you won't consider purchasing it. Since we mention the quality of the goods, the institute of quality inspection should be known. The third party inspection (TPI) is inspection carried by the independent third party (such as a full-time supervision and inspection agencies) who is out of the trading interests. This party is fair and authoritative non-identity of the two parties. It inspects according to relevant laws, standards, contracts accepted by both sides basis for product compliance testing and accreditation activities. Third party inspection activities are relatively concentrated in industrial activities, particularly in the industrial manufacturing industry.

The third party inspection market is well developed in the West. The third party inspection companies have had to bear an important role from a small indoor air quality to people's families, and to large major engineering standard. If a company's products obtain a certificate of competency issued by the third-party inspection company or certified out of trouble, these third-party companies that issue a qualified report and certification will be closed, or is responsible directly to jail. Several years ago, once a famous American third-party testing organization is seized in an accident, the next branch offices in all 50 states are all closed. Because of serious consequences supervision, it has been declared independent of A and B both third-party quality inspection agency will not dare to issue a qualified report and issuing various certificates. After issuing a qualified report and certification to the applicant, as the issuing agency, a third party needs to continue to follow to ensure that their own inspection of the product will not be a problem.
