What is ISO 22716?
ISO 22716:2007 is a quality certification based on an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard (ISO). For the manufacturing, storage, and transportation of cosmetic products, the specification demands documentation and the use of a quality management system. Cosmetics are made and managed in line with Good Manufacturing Practices, according to the certification (GMP).
This accreditation is for cosmetic producers as well as other companies involved in the cosmetics production supply chain (such as raw material and packaging manufacturers).
Third-party certifying agencies issue certifications. Audits can be performed on a regular basis to guarantee that the management system is improving.
Benefits of ISO 22716 certification for your organization:
- Improves quality management systems
- Demonstrates commitment to the safety of cosmetic products
- Ensures your compliance to international guidelines
