A recast regulation governing all cosmetics products sold in the European Union will eventually supersede European Council Directive 76/768/EEC on the Approximation of the Laws of the Member States Relating to Cosmetic Products and its many amendments. Enforcement is not expected to come into effect before 2012 at the earliest. However, significant data requirements will be required in the Product Information Files (PIFs) mandated in Article 11 of the recast regulation. A PIF is required for all cosmetic/toiletry products that are on sale to the public. This session will provide a summary of the regulatory and data requirements soon to be mandated for sale of all cosmetic products and every ingredient found therein.
