With the rapid development of social economy and people's quality of life, the import and export trade of cosmetics is growing rapidly. With the development of the cosmetics industry, the technical content of products continues to increase and the quality continues to improve, and the export trade of cosmetics will have greater development. Along with this, cosmetics companies will face increasingly severe challenges from export competition pressure. Cosmetics companies are increasingly required to strictly control not only their brand influence but also their product quality. Foreign cosmetic brands have stricter requirements on factories, and generally have strict requirements on factory hardware, facilities, health, personnel and management systems. To this end, the international certification ISO22716 standard for cosmetics-Good Manufacturing Practice for Cosmetics will gradually develop into a new trend in cosmetics export standards. Through this certification, its management level can be greatly improved; it also plays a good role in promoting products to enter the international market.

The Standardization Organization (ISO) formulated the "ISO22716: 2007" standard in November 2007: Cosmetics-Good Manufacturing Practices. The standard provides cosmetic manufacturers with operating guidelines for production, control, and storage. The ISO22716 international standard for cosmetics regulates the management requirements of cosmetics manufacturers; hardware requirements (plants, production sites, equipment, etc.), the procurement and use of materials and the hygiene and quality control of product manufacturing processes, personnel hygiene management, product inspection, and abnormal quality Disposal and product complaints and recalls.

The implementation of ISO22716 has the following advantages:

• Ensure product safety

• Improve the company's product quality management level

• Reduce the risk of injury or death caused by products to consumers, and ensure the safety and health of consumers

• Eliminate dangerous accidents

• Reduce the risk of product public recycling

• Effective cost control and international recognition

• Enhance product competitiveness

Main contents of ISO22716 (only some contents are listed)

Personnel: Employees must have good personal hygiene and health conditions, and all employees must be trained in skills. After training, the accumulation of employees ’knowledge should be evaluated.

Factory building: The factory building should ensure the protection of products in site selection, design, and structural use, and reduce the cross-mixing of products, raw materials, and packaging materials; store, produce, and control quality in a designated area and provide sufficient venues to facilitate receipt, storage, and production Wait.

Equipment: It should meet the intended use and be easy to clean. When necessary, carry out disinfection and maintenance. The maintenance work should not pollute the product.

Production: At each stage of manufacturing and packaging, measures should be taken to ensure that the finished product meets its proper characteristics; all manufacturing processes should be carried out according to the requirements of the production documents, and process confirmation and process control are required.

Handling of non-conforming products: Authorized personnel should analyze and study the rejected items; implement control over reworked products, and have authorized personnel check to verify their compliance.

Complaints and recalls: All complaints returned to the factory should be reviewed, followed by investigation and research; when a recall that affects the safety of consumers occurs, authorized personnel should be given the power and let everyone know.

In short, ISO22716 is a specific requirement for the hardware and software of the manufacturer's plant equipment, personnel, factory management and control, in accordance with the characteristics of cosmetics.
