(NAR) VOL. IV NO. 4 / OCTOBER-DECEMBER 1993
[ BFD MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 10 s. 1993, September 07, 1993 ]
AMENDMENT OF CERTAIN COSMETIC REGISTRATION GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS
Upon the recommendation of the Joint Study Group of the Cosmetic Industry and BFAD (JSG-CIB) after the meeting held on July 21, 1993, the Bureau of Food and Drugs hereby amends and/or supplements cosmetic registration guidelines and requirements, viz:
I
Validity of Conditional Registration
Conditional registration as provided for under MC # 19 s. 1991 shall be valid for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance.
II
Documentary Requirements for Registration of Imported Cosmetic Products
A. A statement of the qualitative composition of the imported cosmetic product from the highest to lowest component.
B. Approved certificate of registration from the country of origin or its duly authenticated copy.
C. If the country of origin does not have a registration scheme for cosmetic products, the cosmetic products shall comply with the documentary requirements for locally produced cosmetic products.
D. This rule, however, will not preclude any importer from complying or following the documentary requirements for locally produced cosmetic products.
III
Registration of Multi-Variant Products
Registration of cosmetic products using a common base formula but marketed in multi-variant (colors) presentation will be covered by a single Certificate of Registration, effective January 1994. The single Certificate of Registration will cover the multi-variants of single base formula provided all colors are acceptable according to existing guidelines.
Implementation details will be circulated before such date.
Adopted: 7 Sept. 1993
