Local MPAs will organize the regular or occasional sampling inspection on cosmetics. Cosmetic manufacturers, operators, domestic registrants/notifiers, domestic responsible persons and e-commerce platform operators are required to fully cooperate in the sampling inspection and fulfil their obligations.
On Sep. 28, 2020, China NMPA released the Standards for the Management of Cosmetic Sampling Inspection for public consultation [1]. Any suggestions can be mailed to ChemLinked (cosmetic@chemlinked.com) before Oct. 14, 2020, and we will submit to the NMPA.

Under the current regulatory framework, cosmetics registrants and notifiers can continue to submit a simplified version of the safety assessment report during the registration or notification process until May 1, 2025. Following this deadline, a full version of the safety assessment will be mandated. To facilitate a smooth transition, China is planning to release a set of technical guidelines.
The current cosmetic technical standard STSC 2015 specifies the cosmetics' general safety standards, prohibited/restricted/permitted ingredients and testing methods. It is revised aperiodically in response to changing trade practices in the industry. China is planning to issue a new version of STSC.
