ISO 22716 sets forth requirements for the production, control, storage, and dispatch of cosmetic products. The ISO 22716 certification demonstrates the quality, safety, and environmental aspects of a company’s production, which are adapted to local and international legislation and regulations through the implementation and certification of this standard.
ISO 22716 certification attests to good manufacturing practices for cosmetic products and enhances the management of human, technical, and administrative factors that affect product quality. These guidelines are established to be utilized throughout the entire production process, from receipt to dispatch.
In accordance with the regulations of the European Parliament and Council regarding cosmetic products, manufacturers, importers, and distributors are required to ensure that all products on the EU market are made following the principles of GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), meaning they are primarily safe and health-conscious.
The main requirements of ISO 22716 focus on employees, equipment, production, and complaints, detailed in 15 chapters that are specifically examined. ISO 22716 certification not only verifies that legal requirements are met but also provides the opportunity for an in-depth analysis of the hygienic conditions within the organization.
Good manufacturing practices represent the practical development of the concept of quality assurance through the description of manufacturing activities based on sound scientific evaluations and risk assessments. The goal of these GMP guidelines is to define activities that allow clients to receive products that meet defined characteristics.
