ISO 22716 - Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
Cosmetic buyers, retailers and regulators expect proof that products are made safely and consistently. ISO 22716 sets out Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for cosmetics, covering how products are produced, controlled, stored and shipped. Qmatrix helps cosmetic manufacturers across India implement ISO 22716 and prepare for certification.
What is ISO 22716?
ISO 22716:2007 is the international standard titled Cosmetics: Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP): Guidelines on Good Manufacturing Practices. It provides practical guidance on the organisation, people, premises, equipment, materials, processes and records needed to make cosmetic products of consistent quality and safety.
The standard applies to the production, control, storage and shipment of cosmetic products. It is widely used by manufacturers, contract manufacturers, private-label brands and exporters, and it is recognised in many markets.
