An online EGM was called by the HKAPI Board to pass a resolution to adopt the new Code of Practice.

Key changes of the Code of Practice cover Non-Promotional Items under Section 6 Promotional Items and Non-Promotional Items (Such as Educational Items and Items of Medical Utility). The new edition (21st Edition) provides further clarifications on the term “essential for the correct use of the item” stated in Clause 6.3(a).

The motion to adopt the proposed changes to the Code of Practice was put to the vote. It was unanimously adopted by members with immediate effect.
