ISO 22716 Goods Manufacturing Practices (GMP)

The ISO 22716 Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for cosmetics guide was
introduced to provide guidelines for the production, control, storage, and distribution of
cosmetic products. The guide places emphasis on the quality of the cosmetic product in
relation to the customer, and the traceability and accountability in the production and
distribution process of the product.

The implementation and certification of a system regarding the good manufacturing
practices for cosmetics mean the choice of a systematic approach for the identification of
the potential risks related to product safety and finding the actions needed for the
elimination or reduction of such risks.

The implemented system regarding good manufacturing practices represents a useful
tool that allows organizations of any size or type to control the impact of activities,
products, services upon the safety of the cosmetics it produces.
