PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EUROPEAN UNION
The figure of the "Responsible Person" (RP) for cosmetic products in Europe is a central pillar within the regulatory framework established by Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 on cosmetic products. This regulation clearly establishes the need for a RP as the entity or person responsible for ensuring that each cosmetic product placed on the European Union (EU) market complies with all applicable legal requirements.
Who is the Responsible Person in Europe?
The Responsible Person is a natural or legal person established within the European Union, designated by the manufacturer, importer or distributor of a cosmetic product. This RP acts as the legal representative in the EU and assumes responsibility for the product's compliance with current safety and labelling regulations.
Responsible Person: Importance in Europe
The role of the PR is essential to ensure that only safe and compliant cosmetic products reach consumers in the European Union. The responsibility of the PR not only protects public health, but also ensures that manufacturers and distributors comply with their legal obligations, avoiding sanctions and damage to the brand's reputation.
Appointment of the RP in Europe
The appointment of the PR must be carefully considered. The PR can be the manufacturer itself if established in the EU, the importer if the manufacturer is based outside the EU, or a third party entity specifically designated for this role. It is crucial that the PR has a thorough knowledge of the European regulations and maintains continuous communication with the regulatory authorities.
