Cosmetic Product Notification
The Cosmetic Product Notification is a
procedure which exists since the time when the
EU Cosmetic Directive 76/768 ECC started its
first implementation in the year 1976.
Notification allows member states authority to
become aware of the placing on the market of
a new cosmetic product by its marketer (i.e. its
manufacturer, distributor or importer).

Cosmetic Product Notification
The manufacturer or his agent, or the person to
whose order a cosmetic product is manufactured,
or the person responsible for placing imported
cosmetic products on the Community market, shall
notify the competent authority of the Member State
of the place of manufacture or of the initial
importation, of the address of the place of
manufacture, or of initial importation into the
Community, of the cosmetic products before the
latter are placed on the Community market.

Cosmetic Product Notification
Notification will trigger the Post Marketing
Surveillance process leading to inspection and inmarket control from the authorities side. It is
therefore an important step in the process.
-------EU Cosmetic Directive 76/768 had to be
transposed into each member state national law
apparatus and as a result, the way notification is
conducted in each countries came to be very
different from one place to another.

Cosmetic Product Notification
For this reason the reform brought in by the
new regulation EC 1223/2009 changed this
situation entirely and set up a modernized
process common to all the member states
which put away all the existing discrepancies.
This process is based on a online registration
through Internet at one common portal: the
Cosmetic Product Notification Portal (CPNP)

Cosmetic Product Notification
What is the Cosmetic Products Notification
Portal (CPNP)?
The CPNP is the online notification system
created for the implementation of Regulation
(EC) N° 1223/2009 of the European
Parliament and of the Council on cosmetic
products.

Two systems are needed:
- The European Commission Authentication Service
(ECAS).
This system provides the user with a login and
password to connect to multiple European
Commission applications.
- The SANCO Authentication and Authorization System
(SAAS).
This system provides the user with a profile and
access rights for a specific European Commission
application, in this case the CPNP.

Cosmetic Product Notification
All CPNP users should be part of what is called an
'organization'. An organization means either a
'responsible person' (or its sub-organizations), a
'distributor', a 'competent authority' or a 'poison
center'.
Confidentiality aspects
Some of the data contained in CPNP are business
confidential information thus a warning message
is displayed on the home page for the competent
authorities and for the poison centers, when they
connect to the CPNP for enhancing this point.

Cosmetic Product Notification
A responsible person or a distributor can search for
and display only the products it (or a user acting on
its behalf) has entered into the system.
Products of one responsible person or of one
distributor are not accessible to another
responsible person or distributor. A responsible
person or a distributor can search for its draft and
submitted notifications.

Product Category and Frame formula.
Frame formulation
‘Frame formulation’ means a formulation which lists the
category or function of ingredients and their maximum
concentration in the cosmetic product or gives relevant
quantitative and qualitative information whenever a
cosmetic product is not covered or only partially covered
by such a formulation. The Commission shall provide
indication for the establishment of frame formulation and
adapt them regularly to scientific and technical progress.

25
Cosmetic Product Notification
Category of cosmetic product
The responsible person has to select three
category levels, starting by the level 1, followed
subsequently by level 2 and 3.
In some rare cases, products may have several
'functions' that may make them fall under
different categories. In these cases, it is the
primary function that has to be considered for
the categorization of the cosmetic product.
R. MONTIGNY PIF, GMP, Notification Management Workshop - TAIPEI 4th December 2012

Cosmetic Product Notification
The choice of a category at level 1 determines the
categories available at level 2; the choice of a category at
level 2 will determine the categories available at level 3.

The total number of level-three categories is 82;
All existing categories can be found in Annex III of
the CPNP User Manual.
To complete the procedure, input of a Formulation
name is necessary. Depending on the category
selected, CPNP proposes a list of possible
formulation names in a dropdown menu. This
information provides a more detailed product
categorization and is made available to Poison
centers only.

Once the formulation name is decided, 3 types of
formula notification are possible:
o Predefined frame formulation
o Exact concentration
o Concentration ranges
If the responsible person selects 'predefined frame
formulation', the CPNP will automatically propose the
corresponding predefined frame formulation on the
basis of the category and formulation name selected
by the responsible person.

Categories, sub categories definitions as well as
predefined frame formulations were compiled by
the members of an expert group composed of
representatives from EU authorities and industry
association and Poison Centers.
Notification via predefined frame formulation can
be done only if composition falls completely within
the concentration ranges proposed in this frame.

A notification that relates to products composed
of several components (e.g. hair dye sets,
makeup sets) that are not marketed separately
will be different from that of a single component
product.
Sets do not need to be notified as multicomponent products provided that all
components that compose this set have been
notified individually.

The component name is a crucial element of
the notification as it might be used by
competent authorities or by poison centers to
search for a specific component in the
database.

Cosmetic Product Notification
Notification by distributor:
A distributor who makes available in a Member
State a cosmetic product already marketed in
another Member State and translates, on his
own initiative, any element of the labeling of
that product in order to comply with national
law must notify some information in the CPNP.
To enter a distribution notification the
distributor has to select 'notify a product' in the
'Distributors‘ tab proposed on the Portal

name of the responsible person of the product that
the distributor wants to distribute.
On the basis of the information entered by the
distributor, the CPNP will display a limited list of

Search tools
CNPN proposes also a convenient search tool for
its users.
A responsible person can search only for the
notifications it (or users acting on its behalf) has
entered into the system. A responsible person that
has given access to several users to act on his
behalf can see all notifications entered by these
users. A responsible person can search for draft
and submitted notifications.

Search tools
Competent authorities and poison centers can
search for all submitted notifications contained in
the system. Draft notifications are not accessible
to competent authorities and poison centers.
The 'Advanced search' is intended for the
responsible persons, the competent authorities
and the poison centers.
It allows these users to search a product into the
CPNP using cumulative search criteria.

View product
The accessible information depends on the user profile:
The responsible person and the poison centers can see
all the information contained in the notification.
The competent authorities do not have access to
information related to the formulation name, frame
formulation number and qualitative and quantitative
composition information, except the information
concerning the presence of CMR substances of category
1A or 1B and of substances in the form of
nanomaterials.

Cosmetic Product Notification
CNPN started its function since almost one
year (11 January 2012 by derogation of the
Directive 76/768). It will become mandatory
from July 11th next year.
It is too early yet to provide information on
whether the functioning of this complex tool
developed with the collaboration of the EU
administration, Industry and Poison Centers is
running smoothly or not.

Cosmetic Product Notification
For multinational companies launching
hundreds of products every year in the 27
member states and its 23 official languages,
notification represents a complex challenge.
One issue of concern is the management of
Information System and its adaptation to a
massive notification. Naming of product in
each language, date of placing product on the
market will help for their identification

Another challenge is the upload of the packaging
photos provided they remain documents
sufficiently legible. Heavy documents may slow
considerably processes.
How good will the categorization proposed in the
present system prove adapted to the variety of
products, and what will be the consequences of
their update on the already registered records?
Same question regarding update of Frame
formulation.

Notification on-line is in deed a challenging
objective and the tool developed is essentially
aimed at fitting the provisions of the EC
Regulation 1223/2009.
Let’s hope that the proposed result of this
pragmatic approach will not reveal as a huge
labyrinthine system in the reality…
Thank you
