Cosmetics GMP is a set of guidance provided to cosmetic enterprises to comply with in order to ensure product quality and safety.. Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Guidelines cover all aspects of the manufacturing of cosmetic products from starting material to finished products.
WHY IS REGULATION NECESSARY? UNSCRUPULOUS MANUFACTURERS Harmful Ingredients Preservatives & Fragrances Allergies Corticosteroids Dermatitis Permanent Damage Hydroquinone Mercury Salts Steroids
Where & when did regulation start? 1938 GMP practices are Enforced -1938 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 1992 FDA Cosmetic GMP Guidelines prohibiting adulterated or misbranded products 2002- ISO (TC 217) (WG 6) start on 22716 1950s GMP-enforced in Pharmaceutic al industry in US and Europe. 1994 European (Colipa) Guidelines on Cosmetic GMP. 1995 GMP Guidelines by the Council of Europe 2006 Draft standard approved by ISO TC 217 WG6 1976 European Cosmetic Regulation 76/768 EWG. 1998 Request by EU Member to publish a new set of GMP Guidelines. 2007 ISO 22716 -GMP for Cosmetic Products published
Technical Committee (TC 217) is responsible for cosmetic products Working Group (WG 6) : GMP for cosmetic products

INTERNATIONAL APPROACH REGULATED INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENT As of 11 July 2013, the European Union As of, the European Union s new Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 will require ALL cosmetic products to be manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). One way to demonstrate compliance with GMP is to implement the international standard ISO 22716:2007.
SABS - released SANS 22716:2011 on the 17 th of August 2011 The Cosmetic, Toiletry & Fragrance Association (CTFA) Compendium is being updated and will be released September 2011
THE CONCEPT OF ISO 22716 Basis for Implementation: Product safety Consumer protection GMP concept is based on: Product Quality Reproducibility of Processes Conformity to Specifications Traceability of Products Risk assessment in respect of: Processes & Products
Purchasing Reception Manufacturing Packaging Storage Maintenance Engineering Control Laboratories Quality /QA Shipment
ETC
1. Scope: This International Standard gives guidelines for the production, control, storage and shipment of cosmetic products. The next few slides outline the guidelines / requirements of the standard Almost every guideline have a principle to adhere to 2. Definitions
Organization Chart- adequate staff Key responsibilities Training Personnel hygiene & health linked to the protection of the product
Persons involved in the implementation of the activities described in these guidelines should have appropriate training to produce, control and store products with a defined quality.
Design- space- flow- floors, walls, ceilings & windows Washing & Toilet facilities Lighting Ventilation Pipework, drains & ducts Cleaning & Sanitization Maintenance Pest Control
Premises should be located, designed, constructed and utilized so as to: a) Ensure protection of the product; b) Permit efficient cleaning, if necessary, sanitizing and maintenance; c) Minimize the risk of mix-up of products, raw materials and packaging materials.
Design (prevent contamination) Installation (ease drainage) Calibration of Measuring instruments Cleaning & Sanitization Maintenance of Equipment
Equipment should be suitable for the intended purpose and capable of being cleaned and, if necessary, Sanitized and maintained. This clause applies to all equipment within the scope of these guidelines. If automated systems are introduced into activities described in these guidelines, they should take into account the application of the given relevant principles.
Purchasing Receipt Identification & Status Release Storage Re-evaluation Quality of Water in Production
Availability of Relevant Documents Start-up checks Batch numbers In-process identification In-process controls Bulk product storage Packaging operations
At each stage of manufacturing operations and packaging operations, measures should be taken to produce a finished product that meets the defined characteristics.
Release Storage Shipment Returns
Finished products should meet the defined acceptance criteria. Storage, shipment and returns should be managed in a manner so as to maintain the quality of finished products.
Test methods & Acceptance criteria Results & Out-of of-specification results Identification of Reagents, Solutions, Reference Standards, Culture media Sampling & Retainer samples
9.1.1 Principles described for personnel, premises, equipment, subcontracting, and documentation should apply to the quality control laboratory. 9.1.2 The quality control laboratory is responsible for ensuring that the necessary and relevant controls,, within its activity, are carried out for sampling and testing so that materials are released for use and products are released for shipment, only if their quality fulfils the required acceptance criteria.
Rejected finished products, bulk products, raw materials and packaging materials Reprocessed finished products and bulk products
Types of waste Flow Containers Disposal
Types of subcontracting Manufacturing, packaging, analysis, cleaning & sanitization of premises, pest control, maintenance Contract Giver Contract Acceptor The Contract
A written contract or agreement should be established, mutually confirmed and controlled between the contract giver and the contract acceptor covering subcontracted activities. The objective of this step is to obtain a product or service that complies with the defined contract giver requirements.
13. Deviations Authorized with sufficient data to support the decision. Corrective action to prevent recurrence 14. Complaints & Recalls
14.1.1 All complaints that fall within the scope of these guidelines and are communicated to the plant should be reviewed, investigated and followed-up on, as appropriate. 14.1.2 When a product recall decision is made, appropriate steps should be taken to complete the recall within the scope of these guidelines and to implement corrective action. 14.1.3 In the case of contracted operations, the contract giver and acceptor should agree on the process for managing complaints (see 12.1).
Internal Audit Approach-specially designated personnel Follow-up corrective action
An internal audit is a tool which is designed to monitor the implementation and the status of these cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practices and, if necessary, to propose corrective actions.
17. Documentation Activities should be documented Documentation Management Type of documents Writing, approval & distribution Revision Archiving
17 Documentation 17.1.1 Each company should establish, design, install and maintain its own system of documentation that is appropriate to its organizational structure and to the type of products. An electronic system can be used to prepare and manage documents. 17.1.2 Documentation is an integral part of GMP. Therefore, the objective of documentation is to describe activities defined in these guidelines in order to relate the history of these activities and to prevent risks of interpretation, loss of information, confusion or errors inherent to verbal communication.
Improving production quality management Defining and managing critical points in production Reducing the number of complaints Defining competencies and responsibilities Confirming implementations of legislative requirements
