What is ISO 22716?

The International Standardization Organization (ISO) published new guidelines to promote safe manufacturing and production of all cosmetic products under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Regulators across the globe have adopted ISO 22716 in order to meet these requirements and open up new markets.

ISO 22716 sets organizational criteria for the quality throughout the various stages of manufacturing, including the purchase of raw materials, components, and packaging material. Therefore, all participants on the cosmetic product chain are concerned: from the ingredient production to distribution and exportation.

How will ISO 22716 help my business?

Every cosmetic product circulated into the European Market must be produced according to the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) under The European Union’s Regulation (EC) No 1223/2000. This applies to goods processed in all EU countries as well as for all imported cosmetics. Your organization can demonstrate compliance with GMP by implementing ISO 22716.

ISO 22716 is the internationally recognized standard for cosmetic product safety, and partners elements of GMP and risk assessment cohesively within a complete quality management system. ISO 22716 combines the benefit of a business management system with cosmetic quality and safety. ISO 22716 provides you with the ability to meet growing customer requirements for safe cosmetic products on a global level.
