ISO 22716:2007
Good Manufacturing Practices for Cosmetics
ISO 22716:2007 offers a solid foundation for ensuring quality and safety and enables manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and wholesalers to minimize or eliminate incidents of contaminations, mix-ups, and other errors by controlling all the components that can affect product quality.
ISO 22716 standard deals with all aspects of the supply chain of cosmetic products, from the early delivery of raw materials and components to the shipment of the final product to the consumer.
It describes the basic principles of applying GMP in a facility that produces finished cosmetic products.
ISO 22716 Standard gives cosmetic product production, control, and shipment guidelines.
These guidelines cover the quality aspects of the product. Still, as a whole, they do not cover safety aspects for the personnel engaged in the plant, nor do they cover aspects of protection of the environment.
In addition, ISO 22716 standard is relevant for retailers, brand holders, and wholesalers of cosmetic products. Furthermore, it specifies general requirements for quality management systems by incorporating a risk assessment-based approach to define critical and non-critical elements ensuring high-quality supply chain operations.
