According to the Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report, the State Food and Drug Administration recently issued the Announcement on the Issues Related to the Optimization of the Management Measures for the Filing and Inspection of Ordinary Cosmetics (hereinafter referred to as the Announcement), which allows enterprises to carry out the filing and inspection by self-inspection under certain conditions. Enterprises can submit the product inspection report completed by self-inspection during the production process as the filing materials.

According to the requirements of current cosmetics regulations, when filing ordinary cosmetics, the registrant shall submit a third-party inspection report, and the inspection items mainly include microbial and heavy metal inspection. According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, at present, most of China's cosmetics manufacturers have the ability to detect microorganisms and heavy metals. In the production process, some products use inspection methods as quality control measures, and their inspection items are duplicate with the record inspection conducted by a third party organization. In order to avoid the waste of inspection resources, the State Food and Drug Administration has optimized and adjusted the management measures for filing and inspection of ordinary cosmetics, and Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.

The Announcement clearly states that ordinary cosmetics adopt the inspection method as the quality control measure, and the production link has been included in the daily supervision scope of the provincial drug regulatory authority. If the product safety risk assessment results can fully confirm the product safety, the filing person can submit the inspection report issued by the cosmetics filing person or the entrusted manufacturing enterprise in accordance with the relevant requirements of the cosmetics technical specification when filing the product. If a self-inspection report is submitted at the time of product filing, the filing person shall also submit a statement of the corresponding inspection ability of the cosmetics filing inspection, provide a description of the corresponding inspection personnel, equipment and facilities to carry out self-inspection, and promise to be responsible for the authenticity and accuracy of the inspection report, and observe and report the import and export data of Huacheng.

It is worth noting that this adjustment measure has a strict scope, excluding the products that are claimed to be used by infants and children, the products that use new cosmetics raw materials that are still under safety monitoring, the products that claim to have the effects of acne removal, nourishment, repair, anti-wrinkle, dandruff removal, deodorization, and the products that may have high safety risks.
