China Officially Grants One-Year Buffer Period for Submission of Cosmetic Safety Assessment Report (Full Version)

Before May 1, 2025, cosmetics registrants and notifiers can continue to submit a simplified version of the safety assessment report when applying for registration or notification.

Background

As per the Technical Guidelines for Cosmetic Safety Assessment (hereinafter referred to as “Technical Guidelines”), until May 1, 2024, registrants and notifiers of cosmetics have the option to submit a simplified version of the product safety assessment report during product registration or notification process. However, starting from May 1, 2024, registrants and notifiers should submit the full version of safety assessment report. Due to difficulties such as the lack of toxicological data for various ingredients and the shortage of safety assessment personnel, the shift to the full version of the safety assessment report presents a challenge for the industry.

On April 22, 2024, China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) unveiled the "Announcement on Issuing Several Measures to Optimize Cosmetic Safety Assessment Management", pointing out that before May 1, 2025, cosmetics registrants and notifiers can still submit a simplified version of the safety assessment report that meets the requirements of the Technical Guidelines when applying for registration or notification. This move recognizes the time required for cosmetics research and development and aims to alleviate the burden on enterprises and facilitate a smooth transition to the full version of the safety assessment.
