ISO 22716 Certification

ISO 22716 Certification is the international standard that focuses on the comprehensive guidelines for GMP for cosmetics- for the production, control, storage and shipment of cosmetic products. These guidelines cover the quality aspects of the product being manufactured, and do not cover safety and environmental protection requirements.

The standard was introduced in 2007. It is appropriate for the cosmetics and personal care section. Cosmetics are useful items for the enhancement of beauty.

These guidelines give out organizational and practical advice on the management of the human, technical and administrative factors affecting a particular cosmetics product and its quality. These have been written to allow the cosmetics product to be used following the flow of products from receipt to shipment.

Considering the term “GMP”, it is defined as Good Manufacturing Practices. These are some organizational guidelines appropriate for an industry. GMP is the one that focuses on the quality of the manufacturing process of the products.

However, there are certain products such as deodorants, creams, hair sprays, etc. that require certain certifications first. With the help of the ISO 22716 Certification in India, a cosmetic manufacturer receives the clearance to make liable cosmetic products and allows only healthy chemicals (ingredients) to process every type of item.

Any organization that produces cosmetic products should focus on the recommendations of the items following the GMP guidelines as they vary from country to country.

ISO 22716 Good Manufacturing Practice cosmetics guidelines are appropriate and affirmative for all companies as well as cosmetic items. In 2013, the GMP recognized ISO 22716 Certification as cGMP. Any cosmetic company that adopts different technologies and tools should be affiliated with the guidelines of cGMP first.
