1. Scope and product classification
We confirm the intended market, product function, presentation, user group, claims and whether the product falls within the cosmetic products framework.
2. Documentation intake
The manufacturer or brand provides the quantitative formulation, ingredient documentation, specifications, manufacturing information, test data, packaging evidence and draft label.
3. Gap analysis
We identify missing, contradictory or insufficient evidence. Critical gaps are resolved before the safety report or notification progresses.
4. Safety assessment and CPSR
The technical assessment is prepared and reviewed by the safety assessor. Any resulting conditions of safe use, warnings or limitations are carried into the label and PIF.
5. PIF and label finalisation
The PIF is assembled and the commercial artwork is checked against the assessed product and mandatory UK particulars.
6. Responsible Person mandate and SCPN
Following approval, the written RP mandate is activated and the product is notified through SCPN before Great Britain market placement.
7. Ongoing maintenance
Changes to formula, suppliers, packaging, claims, artwork or safety evidence must be assessed. Post-market information is monitored and the regulatory file remains available to authorities.
