We Design and Implement Quality & Safety Management Systems for
Cosmetic Products Manufacturing to Meet the Requirements of ISO
22716
ISO 22716 provides a comprehensive approach for Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for those engaged in the
manufacturing, packaging, testing, storage, and transportation
of cosmetic products. The standard has its basis in other
quality management systems, ensuring a smooth integration with
those quality management systems such as ISO 9001 or the British
Retail Consortium (BRC) standard for consumer products.
The safety of cosmetic products is an issue often on the minds
of manufacturers, suppliers and regulators. Numerous regional
and international standards have been created over the years in
order to enhance the quality and safety of cosmetic products, in
many instances specifically addressing requirements for
manufacturers, suppliers, wholesalers, and retailers.
ISO 22716 is
a comprehensive cosmetic
safety management system standard,
because it:
- Integrates the typical requirements for product and
process quality Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
requirements with other quality guidance, for example as
laid down in the prerequisites for ISO 9001;
- Allows for easy implementation in organizations of all
sizes and levels of complexity;
- Forms an internationally accepted basis for quality and
safety compliance in the cosmetic products supply chain;
- Fosters legal compliance as adopted by regulators around
the world; and
- Controls and reduces cosmetic products hazards and
promotes continuous improvement throughout the supply chain.
- ISO 22716 Certification enhances continuous
improvements.
- Organizations with an existing quality management
program can incorporate the elements of ISO 22716 into their
existing quality management system by using a stepwise
approach to achieve compliance with global cosmetic GMP
principles.
- An organization with any of the existing cosmetic
quality program can Design on their existing platform and
seamlessly transition to ISO 22716.
- The ISO 22716 standard combines general principles of
quality management in organizations with the typical
elements of cosmetic product GMP with a risk management
based approach.
Recently ISO published new guidance on the safe manufacturing of
cosmetic products under a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
regime. Regulators around the world have adopted this standard,
ISO 22716, effectively replacing existing guidance and
standards.
The advantage and simplicity of ISO 22716 is that it combines
the benefits of GMP linking cosmetic product safety with overall
business improvement tools that enable organizations to meet
global consumer demand for cosmetic product safety
certification.
The introduction of ISO 22716 marks a major step in the
realization of a globally recognized standard for cosmetic
products safety. This standard was prepared by ISO Technical
Committee (TC) 217 Working Group (WG) 6 between 2002 and 2006.
The final document was published in November 2007.
