Transfers of responsibility
Responsible Person
With the exit of the European Union, the United Kingdom is considered as a third country under the Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. This means that, for a company based in the UK, it is now necessary to have a Responsible Person in a country of the EU-27 to remain in compliance with the legislation and continue to market in the European Union.
The company importing products made in the United Kingdom became by default the Responsible Person, but may however designate in writing another person established in the European Union.
EcoMundo can become your Responsible Person established in the EU-27. Our experts will take care - if necessary - of registering your products, auditing your PIFs, reviewing your labels and packaging, etc.
CPNP notifications
Since the end of the transition period, notifications made to the CPNP (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal), by British Responsible Persons (RPs) have to be supported by EU-27 based RPs.
Evolving communication
The Product Information File (PIF) must be kept by the Responsible Person and be available in the language of the RP�s member state in order to have products that comply with the European Cosmetics Regulation.
In addition, product labelling had to be adapted to Brexit. Products made in the UK and sold in Europe have to be re-labelled as imported products. They have to indicate, in accordance with the legislation, the country of origin (in this case, the UK), as well as the name and address of the Responsible Person established in the EU-27.
The case of Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland, as part of the United Kingdom, also left the European Union upon Brexit. However, in order to avoid reviving the tensions on the border with the Republic of Ireland which had persisted for several decades and in which the European Union played a major role, the Northern Ireland Protocol was established.
In this, it is stipulated that, for trade with the United Kingdom, UK regulations apply to Northern Ireland, and for trade with the European Union, EU regulations continue to apply. We advise caution in this situation. If you are established in these different markets, the safest thing to do is to comply with both EU and UK regulations.
