The Open
University of Hong Kong (OUHK) organized the "Testing and Certification
Day " to increase public awareness and coverage of the Testing and
Certification (T&C) industry on research and development. The seminar named
“Testing and Certification: Research and Development” organized in T&C Day
on 3rd Nov 2018. Hong Kong Society for Quality (HKSQ) is one of
the supporting organizations. I
represented HKSQ to attend the seminar and I summarized this seminar for
sharing below. Before the seminar, we
took a group photo for guests, speakers and supporting organization
representatives.

(Chairman, HKQAA) and I)
(Left: Dr. Leo FW Lee (Lecture, HKBU), Dr. Crystal Fok (Associate
Director, HKSTP), Dr. Tony CC Lee (Assistant Professor, T&C, OUHK)
(Left: I, Mr. Stanley Ng (Director, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater
Bay Area Youth Society) and Dr. SL Mak (Assistant Professor, OUHK))
In the beginning, Prof. Reggie Kwan (Vice President (Academic), OUHK)
gave welcome speech. He mentioned that
they promoted R&D in Testing and Certification Industry and applied RGC
Funding in the past 5 years successfully.
Prof. Albert Yu (JP, Chairman, HKCTC) was officiating guest and gave an
opening speech. He said Hong Kong
Council for Testing and Certification aimed to promote testing and certification
industry in Hong Kong through our strength on integrity and
professionalism.
And then Souvenirs presentation and group photo of all guests and
speakers.
The first speaker was Ir. Dr. Hon Lo Wai Kwok (Chairman, HKQAA; and LegCo Member, Legislative Council – Engineering Constituency) and his presentation entitled " Promoting Innovation and Technology – the Exertion on the Role of the Certification Industry (促進創新科研 – 認證行業發揮的角色) ". In the beginning, Dr. Lo briefed the importance of Innovation and Technology in the world such as UN Sustainable Development Goal and Global Innovation Index (GII), etc.
Then he said certification organization played very important role to support and business & trade in Hong Kong. Recently, we supported innovation and technology, as well as, sustainable development in the region of Great Bay Area. For instance, HKQAA involved to develop of Green Bond Certification.
After that Dr. Lo also mentioned the Hong Kong Registration – Startups scheme
which was cooperated with HKSTP under MoU since 2015. (I was the key connector and one of designers
for Quality
Startup Scheme in Science Park)
Lastly, Dr. Lo expected the future management system involved Innovation
especially on ISO 50501 Innovation Management standard which was under
development. (I was the
first observer in ISO / TC 279 Innovation Management for developing ISO
50500 series since 2015.)
Ir. Tsui Cho Man (Senior Electronic Engineer, SCL, ITC) was the second
speaker and his presentation topic was "Revision of the SI – A Major
Development in Metrology which is the Foundation of R&D". Firstly, he quoted Lord Kelvin statement on
Measurement “… when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it
in numbers, you know something about it; …” to express that Metrology is the
Foundation of Science.
And then Ir. Tsui briefed the Metre Convention since 1875. In 1960, the
General Conference of Weight and Measures (CGPM), adopted the name
International System of Units (SI) for the system of units of measurement. There are seven SI base units and four of
them (kg, A, K & mol) would be redefined on 20 May 2019.
An interested SI prefixes were showed.
After that Ir. Tsui explained each redefined unit and its measurement
method. For example, Mass (kilogram) would
not use the international prototype of the kilogram (IPK) as measurement. There are two methods to be considered for
realizing the new definition. Method 1
is Kibble balance and Method 2 is measuring single crystals of silicon using
X-ray diffraction.
Finally, Ir. Tsui Cho Man told us a good news that Hong Kong won the
design of World Metrology Day Poster which employed for World Metrology Day
2019.
The third speaker was Ms. Christina Lau (Manager, Innovation and
Technology Fund, ITC) and her presentation title named "Innovation and
Technology Fund – Supporting Research and Development (R&D)". Firstly, he briefed the background of ITF
which established since 1999. Unit July
2018, ITF supported 14.4 Billion over 8000 projects.
Then she briefed different schemes included supporting R&D and
promoting Technology Application. They
were Innovation and Technology Support Programme (ITSP), University-Industry
Collaboration Programme (UICP), Enterprise Support Scheme (ESS), Midstream
Research Programme for Universities (MRP), R&D Cash Rebate Scheme (CRS),
Public Sector Trial Scheme (PSTS).

.
During the tea break, I met Ms. Athena Chan (Senior QA Officer,
HealthBaby) who was my wife colleague.
I took a photo with Ir. Tsui Cho Man for memory.
I also met my old friend Dr. Eric Sze (Assistant Professor, OUHK).
The fourth speaker was Dr. Crystal Fok (Associate Director, Material
& Precision Engineering and Robotics, HKSTP) and her topic named “Ways to
drive Hong Kong to be Standard Testing and Certification Hub”. In the beginning, she overviewed core
advantages of testing and certification industry in Hong Kong including
accreditation system, high reputation, logistics infrastructure, etc.
Then Dr. Fok briefed the Greater Bay Area and Hong Kong-Shenzhen
Innovation and Technology Park in Lok Ma Chau Loop. She also briefed the conceptual spatial
framework named Eastern Knowledge and Technology Corridor under Hong Kong
2030+. And then she mentioned Smart Lab
which was a next generation laboratory with 3 focusing areas included
Diagnostic test lab, Research lab and Production lab.
Lastly, Dr. Fok introduced National Robot Testing and Assessment Center
(NRTAC) which headquarter was at Shanghai.
Hong Kong was evaluating the potential.
Dr. Chen Xueping (Co-founder and CTO of Vitargent (International)
Biotechnology Ltd.) was the fifth speaker and her presentation entitled "A
Tale of Two Fishes". She said this
is her PhD project to use medaka and zebrafish embryos to perform toxicity
tests.
She said that they was the first and only one laboratory using zebrafish
embryos to test toxicity laboratory accredited ISO 17025 through HOKLAS. Then
she used transgene zebrafish embryos to test food safety. (I
assisted her to prepare and achieve the HOKLAS accreditation using ISO 15088 in
2012.)
Finally, Dr. Chen introduced the three grade of fish logo named
Excellent, Basic and Sub-Optimal to visualize the result of testing for general
public understanding.
Dr. Eric Sze (Assistant Professor (Testing & Certification), School
of Science and Technology, OUHK) was the last speaker and his topic entitled
"Authentication of Chinese Materia Medica – Using Ophiocordyceps Sinensis
as an example". Firstly, Dr. Sze
said Hong Kong was a trading hubs of Chinese Materia Medica. Hong Kong Government developed the Hong Kong
Chinese Materia Medica Standards (HKCMMS) covered 275 CMM in 2002.
Then Dr. Sze introduced the Ophiocordyceps sinensis (formerly known as
Cordyceps Sinensis also called caterpillar fungus – 冬蟲夏草). OUHK got Research Grant
Council (RGC) to study the methods in Authentication of Ophiocordyceps
sinenesis. The most difficult was to
find fault samples.
At the end, Dr. Eric Sze showed the 2-dimensional electrophoresis and
reproducibility results.
