Cosmetics – Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) — Guidelines on Good Manufacturing Practices
· Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) – ISO 22716
· Council Directive 76/768/EEC
The European Union’s new Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires cosmetic products to be manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
A manufacture of cosmetics can demonstrate compliance with GMP by implementing the International Standard ISO 22716:2007.
ISO 22716 presents a management systems approach to documenting and regulating the production, control, storage, and shipment of cosmetic products. The standard’s guidelines will provide your organization with practical methods for managing the many factors that can affect product quality. These guidelines cover the quality aspects of the product, but as a whole do not cover safety aspects for the personnel engaged in the plant, nor do they cover aspects of protection of the environment. The guidelines in ISO 22716:2007 are not applicable to research and development activities and distribution of finished products.
Standards Certification Council offers a complete conformity assessment solution including training, auditing and certification services. It is also possible to integrate your existing management systems of other standard such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, and saving you valuable time and resources.
