On July 8, 2024, the China National Institute for Food and Drug Control (NIFDC) released four technical guidelines aimed at enhancing cosmetic safety assessments. These guidelines include:

 

1. Technical Guidelines for Cosmetic Stability Assessment

2. Technical Guidelines for Preservative Effectiveness Testing of Cosmetics

3. Technical Guidelines for Compatibility Assessment of Cosmetic Packaging Materials

4. Technical Guidelines for Application of Skin Sensitization Integrated Testing and Assessment Strategies

 

In conjunction with these guidelines, the NIFDC also released four corresponding Q&A documents to provide further clarity. The goal of these publications is to guide the industry in improving its cosmetic safety assessment capabilities and standards, standardize safety evaluation procedures, and ensure the orderly implementation of the cosmetic safety assessment system.

 

Earlier this year, on April 10, the NIFDC issued six draft documents for public comment, including the four aforementioned guidelines. The final versions of the remaining two draft documents, namely the Index of Authoritative Institution Cosmetic Safety Assessment Data and Information on Cosmetic Ingredient Usage, were officially released on April 30. For more details, refer to our previous news coverage.
