What is ISO 22716?
The International Standardisation Organisation (ISO) published new guidelines to promote safe manufacturing and production of all cosmetic products under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Regulators across the globe have adopted ISO 22716 in order to meet these requirements and open up new markets.
ISO 22716 sets organisational criteria for the quality throughout the various stages of manufacturing, including the purchase of raw materials, components, and packaging material. Therefore, all participants on the cosmetic product chain are concerned: from the ingredient production to distribution and exportation.
