The China-Italy Chamber of Commerce (CICC) together with the EU SME Centre and the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China invite you to attend the seminar "New Regulations and Animal Testing Exemption for Cosmetics", to be held next April 12, 2022 ONLINE and OFFLINE (CICC Beijing Office and CICC Guangzhou Office, see address below).
The Cosmetic Supervision and Administration Regulation (CSAR) came into effect on 1 January 2021, representing the new, overarching cosmetic regulatory framework in China. CSAR has detailed provisions for cosmetic classification, product notification and registration, new ingredient management, efficacy evaluation, safety assessment, online cosmetic supervision, accountability systems, punitive measures, etc.
Simultaneously, in May 2021 a new, long-awaited milestone came into force: the possibility for imported general cosmetics to be exempted from mandatory animal testing in China, and thus opening up the Chinese market to several European cruelty-free brands which previously could only export limited quantities through cross-border e-commerce, or were not exporting at all. Yet, to animal testing exemption a certain documentation must be provided from the manufacturer’s home country, which is a challenging process. In February 2022, the EU SME Centre updated its flagship report How to Export Cosmetics to China (2022 Regulations Update) to help EU companies in the process.
This workshop reviews the impact of CSAR and other relevant cosmetics regulations after more than 1 year of implementation. It also explains the process to obtain animal testing exemption for EU manufacturers, introduces a non-complete list of EU countries issuing GMP certificates, and provides an overview of the feedback and perception of EU companies on the new regulations.
