To ensure the hygiene, safety, and quality of cosmetic products, the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced on June 25, 2019, that specified cosmetics categories shall comply with the good manufacturing practice in stages by July 1, 2024. To promote GMP compliance TFDA not only organized conference, seminars and training sessions in terms of regulations and technology, but also conducted on-site consultations/visits in order to guide the manufacturers to review the current status and to plan the improvement programs for GMP compliance. Data were collected and analyzed for the common deficiencies found from factory consultations/visits and questionnaires survey. It showed that most domestic cosmetic manufacturers are small business, producing various dosage forms, with insufficient knowledge of legal and technical regulations on premises, raw material management, documentation, etc. The planning and implementation of GMP requirements are yet to be improved, while most companies expected by self-assessment that a 2 to3-year preparation period will be needed to comply with GMP regulations. This information can be used as a reference for TFDA to continuously organize factory consultations/visits so as to guide the industry in accelerating the compliance with GMP-related regulations to ensure the quality and health and safety of cosmetics. |
