ISO 22716:2007

ISO 22716:2007 provides guidelines for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for the cosmetics manufacturing industry, detailing the GMP requirements that companies producing cosmetics must apply. ISO 22716 consists of 17 requirements, which include infrastructure management of human resources, buildings, and equipment; management of manufacturing from raw materials to finished products; process management for deviations, non-conformities, complaints, and post-processing; and system management for changes, internal audits, and documentation management. These requirements ensure compliance with legal requirements and meet internationally recognized standards, thereby ensuring trust in the safe manufacturing of cosmetics from customers.

​

Scope

The certification targets are cosmetic manufacturers, and the scope includes:

• Production of cosmetics

• Management of cosmetics

• Storage of cosmetics

• Shipment of cosmetics

• Matters related to product quality

​

Standard Conformity Assessment

Internationally recognized product certification is based on evaluating whether the assessed products meet pre-adopted requirements as outlined in standards and other technical documents. Conformity assessments applied to specific products, procedures, or services under the same standards include certification of conformity to these standards. Requirements are reflected in specific parts to respect standards set under specific conditions, meaning they are documented and established under certain conditions.

​

Legal Requirements

Releasing products to the market involves significant administrative responsibilities for manufacturers and importers. Legal regulations specify such obligations, and every manufacturer has a duty to release only safe products to the market. A safe product is one that meets specific legal requirements adopted by European Community law and satisfies specific safety requirements to mitigate risks associated with its use.

​

Product Classification and Basic Requirements

When evaluating products, they are categorized into specific modules representing their complexity regarding safe use. For products representing minor risks (arising from specific government decrees), manufacturers can assess product conformity through their own sources. High-risk products must have their conformity assessed through a certification body.
