The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has drafted three standards, including o-Phenylphenol and Its Salts, which have been reviewed and approved by the Director Meeting of the Cosmetic Standardization Technical Committee under the NMPA. These standards are hereby released and incorporated into the corresponding chapters of the Safety and Technical Standards for Cosmetics (2015 Edition) (see Appendix 1).
The revised standards, o-Phenylphenol and Its Salts, Acid Violet 43 (CI 60730), and Mercury and Its Compounds (see Appendices 2–4), replace the existing provisions in the Safety and Technical Standards for Cosmetics (2015 Edition).
The two standards, o-Phenylphenol and Its Salts and Acid Violet 43 (CI 60730), will come into force on June 1, 2028. The standard Mercury and Its Compounds will come into force on July 1, 2026.
Prior to the implementation of the above standards, cosmetics that have already been produced or imported may be sold until the end of their shelf life. Registrants, filers, and manufacturers are encouraged to implement the above standards ahead of schedule.
It is hereby announced.
