Manufacturing gets your product made. Compliance helps you sell in specific markets. Use this page to decide when to add compliance quotes alongside manufacturing.
EU and UK cosmetic regulation (Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, UK S.I. 2019) require product information files (PIF), safety assessments (CPSR), notifications (CPNP/SCPN), and often a Responsible Person. This page summarizes when compliance support is needed and how it connects to manufacturing—so you can request manufacturing quotes and, for EU/UK, add compliance quotes from the EU/UK cosmetics compliance directory.
EU/UK launch: labeling requirements, product notifications (CPNP/SCPN), and Responsible Person coverage often need dedicated support.
Claims-heavy products: claims and labeling review reduces risk of rework and delays.
Packaging changes: changing materials or decoration can trigger label review and document updates.
PIF + CPSR creation, CPNP (EU) / SCPN (UK) notification, label review / EU labeling requirements, Responsible Person (EU/UK).
Sometimes, but it can create delays if labeling or documentation changes are needed late. For EU/UK, it is often safer to align early.
Ask what they can provide (INCI, batch records, CoAs, testing support, labeling review) and what should be handled by a compliance specialist.
EU and UK have aligned requirements (PIF, CPSR, notification). UK uses SCPN and may require a UK Responsible Person; EU uses CPNP and an EU Responsible Person. Compliance providers can handle one or both.
For planning only. Consult a compliance provider or legal advisor for your specific markets.
