CEO Tomi Hong Testifies before President’s Interagency Working Group on Import Safety... On October 1, 2007 the USDA hosted a meeting at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Jefferson Auditorium in Washington, D.C. to provide consumers and advocates an opportunity to offer comments about import safety.  

Tomi Hong, CEO for AmeriSci Group, laid out a 4-point action plan to help ensure the safety of our imports.  Mr. Hong testified,  “additional concerns come about from the lack of broad-spectrum heavy metals testing in consumer products. Although a significant amount of media attention has driven numerous proposals for updating  Lead in Toys standards, far more toxic elements have received little to no attention or review.”

Tomi Hong’s testimony included recommendations to use  3^rd Party Certifiers that can provide the function of quality systems oversight in the form of accreditation of a business operation, ensuring that the performance is in conformance with an industry-specific and/or international standard (e.g., ISO 17025, ISO 9002).

He also suggested a program to use 3^rd Party Testing by a 3^rd Party Certifier-approved testing facility, capable of generating an industry-recognized testing report of compliance and conformance with manufacturing design specifications and safety guidelines. 

Tomi Hong, CEO for AmeriSci Group is quoted  on page 35 of the report sent to President George W. Bush by the Department of Health and Human Services' Secretary Michael O. Leavitt
