Safety and Quality of Cosmetics: What Does Compliance Really Mean?

Cosmetic product safety does not begin in the laboratory — it starts with documentation, processes, and systems. For a product to be legally sold, it must undergo:

  • verification of product documentation (PIF, Cosmetic Product Safety Report),
  • inspection of production processes and GMP/ISO 22716 conditions,
  • audit of quality management systems,
  • verification of labelling and marketing claims (compliance with Regulation (EU) No 655/2013),
  • application and dermatological testing, and ingredient analysis.

Only when all these elements are compliant can we speak of full consumer protection and trust in the brand.

 

 

Cosmetic Certification in Accordance with EU Standards

The cosmetics industry is a sector where even the smallest error can result in penalties or product withdrawal. That is why GCB offers a comprehensive cosmetics certification service, in which we assess:

  1. Technical documentation and safety reports
  2. Quality control systems and production procedures
  3. Compliance with GMP / ISO 22716 / IFS HPC standards
  4. Audit processes and document verification
  5. Labelling, packaging, and marketing claims

The assessment is carried out independently, impartially, and in accordance with current legal regulations.

The Role of GCB Experts in the Certification Process

 

 

GCB experts conduct the assessment at every stage:

  • verification of documentation completeness (PIF, ingredients, testing),
  • assessment of production and hygiene systems,
  • third‑party audits and supplier evaluation,
  • analysis of labelling and marketing claims,
  • coordination of the certification process and issuance of evaluation protocols.

Our role is not to provide operational advice, but to conduct an objective verification of compliance in order to support the manufacturer in meeting the requirements.
