Cosmetic product safety report

The Cosmetic product safety report is a document constituting certified product safety and toxicological analysis summarizing the individual components. Cosmetic product safety report is issued before each product is placed on the EU market.

Cosmetic product safety report must be drawn out in compliance with Regulation issued on the 11th July 2013, the European Union (EU) Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC which was replaced by Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 (the “Cosmetic Products Regulation”), which harmonizes and simplifies the cosmetics regulations across the EU member states.  The aim of the Regulation is to simplify procedures, streamline terminology and strengthen the regulatory framework for cosmetics with a view to ensuring a high level of protection of human health.
Cosmetic product safety report refers to the assessment of product safety. So as to meet EU Regulations the CPDR report must be created of appropriate levels of exposure, taking into account the use parameters, such as the area of application, the amount used in the cosmetic single application, duration and frequency of application and target groups exposed to the cosmetic. Safety assessment refers to the normal and reasonably foreseeable use of the product.
