Technical Guidance for Studying and Drafting Cosmetics Supplementary Testing Methods

On Apr. 28, 2021, China NMPA released the Working Rules for Management of Cosmetic Supplementary Testing Methods together with a supporting document-Technical Guidance for Studying and Drafting Cosmetics Supplementary Testing Methods (the "Technical Guidance") . The Technical Guidance is designed to normalize the study and development of cosmetics supplementary testing methods and ensure the scientificity, universality and timeliness of cosmetics supplementary testing methods. Notably, no implementation date is set for the Technical Guidance as it only serves as a reference.
