ISO 22716 Cosmetics Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Certification

ISO 22716 is the international standard for cosmetics GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), assuring safety and quality across manufacturing, quality control and distribution of cosmetics. It aims to raise the international credibility of the cosmetics industry and to provide consumers with safe products.

ISO 22716 sets out organized, systematic product safety and quality control rules that must be met in every production process to produce good-quality cosmetics.
