Cosmetic Product Safety Reports (CPSR)

The importance of CPSRS

Cosmetic Product Safety Reports (CPSRs) are a legal necessity when launching your cosmetic products in the UK and EU. They must be carried out by a qualified safety assessor. They include examination of the formula, raw materials, test data such as Preservative Efficacy Testing and Stability, and also the packaging – to offer an indication of the overall toxicological safety of your product.

Why choose Melbec?

Our safety assessments are tailored to the individual product and are performed with the most up to date regulation in mind. Melbec’s CPSRs are compliant with EU and UK cosmetic regulations (EC No. 1223/2009 and Schedule 34 of the Product Safety and Metrology SI Regulations) and completed by a team of safety assessors with over 30 years of shared experience!

It’s easy to feel lost in the complicated nature of cosmetic regulation, but our Regulatory team are here to ensure you have full confidence in the safety of your products before they go to market.

What’s the process?

We will work with you to ensure that the correct documents are provided to us. Additional documents may be requested as our assessors examine the safety of the product and analyse the formulation. Once complete, our dedicated Regulatory team will return the completed report. Any problems will be flagged immediately, and we will advise on any issues with the product.

How long does it take?

Our turnaround time is up to 10 working days from the receipt of all necessary documents.

Do I really need a CPSR?

Yes! It’s a legal requirement for cosmetic products to have a CPSR before they are sold in the UK and EU. Our Regulatory team will be with you from start to finish, and the vast experience of our safety assessors will make the process as efficient as possible.

To learn more about how Melbec can support you through the ever-changing landscape of cosmetic regulation, don’t hesitate to call or email us.
