Inspection Test Center for Environmental Safety of GMOs and Plant

Resistance (Beijing) of MOA

 

Inspection Test Center for Environmental Safety of GMOs and Plant Resistance of MOA (Beijing) (ESPR) is an inspection and test agency for quality and safety of agricultural products which approved by Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) and developed by IPP-CAAS. In 2008, 2011 and 2014, after China Metrology Certification, the accreditation of Ministry of Agriculture and the assessment of Inspection Agency on the quality security of agricultural products,the Center is authorized to perform the supervision, insepction and test on genetically modified ingredients and potential environmental risk of transgenic plants, the resistance to diseases and insect pests of plants.


There are 30 inspection staffs in ESPR at present, including 22 persons with the senior title. ESPR has 500 square meters of office and loaboratory space, with advanced apparatus over 100 sets, including Real-time qPCR ABI7500, Gradient PCR BIO-RAD Mycycler and BIOTEK enzyme-labeled instrument. ESPR has 30 hectares of experimental fields, located in the Langfang research pilot base of IPP-CAAS, Hebei Province. The pilot base has good security & protection system.


Inspection items of genetically modified ingredients include regulatory elements, labeled gene, target genes, constuction specificity, transformation specificity, exogenous proteins and expression products of transgenic plants such as corn, soybean, rice, rape, cotton and etc. Inspection items of the environmental safety assessment include target characters, survival and competitive abilities, gene flows and influeces on the biological diversity of transgenic crops. Inspection items of resistance of plants include the resistance to diseases and insect pests of wheat, maize, rice, cotton, tobacco, cucumber, tomato, chili, etc. In total, 147 parameters of 30 kinds of products involving more than 180 National and ministerial standards were authorized to ESPR.
