New EU Cosmetics Directive
















The Directive (EC) No. 1223/2009 on cosmetic products will be valid in binding form from 11 July 2013 onwards, and largely replace the existing laws on cosmetics.

From 11 July 2013 onwards, the EN ISO 22716:2007 standard will gain a quasi legislative character. The DIN EN ISO 22716:2008-12 corresponds with the stated standard. This is the German version. The goal of the GMP standard ('GMP guideline') is primarily to guarantee a high degree of product safety. 
Harmonised standard 
In art. 8, section 1, the EU Cosmetics Directive (EC) No. 1223/2009 requires the production of cosmetic products to take place 'in accordance with sound production practices'.
As the internationally harmonised EN ISO 22716:2007 standard has been published in the official European Union gazette, from 11 July 2013 onwards, the contents gain a quasi legislative character. In this context, the specifications of this standard become obligatory for manufacturers, and their compliance with them can be monitored by the supervisory authorities.
