The method of risk analysis has been introduced as a tool to secure food safety. The components of risk analysis, risk assessment, risk management, risk communication have advanced during the last 30 years by international organizations and advanced countries. With increasing liberalization of trade, international trade will be more activated between regions and countries, resulting in trade conflicts. Thus, it is necessary to harmonize the methods of risk assessment used by each countries. The purpose of this study is to investigate advanced technology of risk assessment to develop a suitable model for both our technology and training modules. Comparing food laws and national regulatory systems between Korea, China, Japan is expected to improve international collaboration and harmonization. To perform this work, ILSI (International Life Sciences Institute) Korea was collaborated to collect information through ILSI BeSeTo meeting. As a model for risk assessment, the Nordic project "A practical approach to the application of the risk analysis process" was chosen and fully translated into Korean version. It is expected to utilize as a capacity building material. To expand our scope to the collaboration and education of food safety risk assessment among APEC members, FSCF(Food Safety Cooperation Forum)/PTIN(Partnership Training Institute Network) was introduced through "International workshop on Food Safety Risk Assessment Capacity Building in the Countries of Asia-Pacific Region" and encouraged to participate with its role and training activity. Furthermore, benchmarking of training modules from FSCF/PTIN will be an another challenge.
