NMPA meeting on cosmetics raw material information submission

2022-07-28 | Beijing

Based on the opinions of the industry collected in an early stage, the NMPA systematically analysed the current situation about the raw material safety information submission, and explained relevant issues in the existing regulations. Here are some points.

1) The original purpose of raw material safety information submission is for information traceability, especially when some cases about cosmetics safety happened;

2) Collect feedback and review about RM safety information consistency issue and solution;

3) Both manufacturing product companies and raw material companies should strengthen communication;

4) Notifiers and registrants should be responsible for all submitted information.

5) As to previously registered products, NMPA will take the annual report of the next year onto consideration before launching an information correction procedure;

6) When raw material companies and cosmetics companies have different understanding about raw material separation, registrants/notifiers should assume their responsibility of auditing and submit related registration document based on the principle of raw material safety. 

To make sure the aligned understanding of the meeting messages delivered by NMPA, EUCCC representatives had a discussion with CAFFCI, Amcham and Japanese Chamber representatives.
