192022.05

ISO 22716:2007 Cosmetics – Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) – Guidelines on Good Manufacturing Practices was developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization in 2007 and is recognized by at least 122 countries worldwide, including those in the Americas, the European Union, and Asia.

ISO 22716 focuses primarily on on-site factory controls and management. These guidelines specify technical and quality safety control requirements for cosmetics production, storage, and transportation.

International Certification - Facilitates Export Expansion

The European Union mandates that all cosmetics produced and imported into the country must use ISO 22716 as the manufacturing standard. Southeast Asian Nations, Japan, South Korea, China, and Canada have also adopted ISO 22716 as the manufacturing standard and require ISO 22716 certification for imported products.

Quality and Safety Management - Boosting Customer Confidence in Products

Through standardized management, we enhance product quality, achieve consistent quality, and establish a continuous improvement mechanism to achieve effective quality management and improvement, thereby gaining customer trust.

Voluntary Cosmetics Good Manufacturing Practice

In 2014, the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Economic Affairs adopted ISO 22716 as the national standard for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for Cosmetics, aligning with the ISO 22716 international standard.

Manufacturers are required to strictly control hygiene, safety, and quality conditions during cosmetics manufacturing, minimizing human error during production to ensure stable product production and improve quality management.

Nationally Certified Good Manufacturing Practices - Simplified Inspection and Registration

For factories that have passed the voluntary Good Manufacturing Practices for Cosmetics certification, the FDA will prioritize their review and streamline the registration process when applying for medicated cosmetics inspection and registration using the same approved dosage form. This will shorten the approval time from an average of 90 days to within 30 days.

GMP Mandatory Implementation Date - Cosmetics Hygiene and Safety Management Act

2024: Specific-purpose cosmetics (medicated cosmetics)
2025: General cosmetics for babies, lips, eyes, non-medicated toothpaste, and mouthwash
2026: All general cosmetics (except factory-free handmade soap)
