China to Publish Sanitation Standards

China has established thousands of sanitary standards for public life, which people can access freely on the Internet, an official with Ministry of Health (MOH) was quoted as saying on September 13 in the Beijing News.

Huo Xiaojun, an official in charge of laws and regulations with the MOH, said the MOH has drafted and issued more than 1,800 sanitary standards covering food, the environment, radiation, occupational diseases and cosmetics.

Huo said that by the end of this year, the standards will be publicized on the official Web site of the MOH, www.moh.gov.cn. People can look up the standards free of charge.

Gu Jingyu, an MOH official in charge of standardization, revealed the MOH is now revising diagnoses standards on 37 kinds of infectious diseases. The MOH is also participating in setting up a standard for cellphone radiation.

China has no cellphone radiation standard since the consumption of cellphones in China still heavily relies on imports from Europe and the United States, whose products have different standards.
