ISO 22716 (Cosmetics – Good Manufacturing Practices(GMP) – Guideline on Good Manufacturing Practices) Introduction Effectiveness and Necessity

  • 1) Prevent and minimize product accidents.
    2) Improving the effectiveness and suitability of factory GMP execution.
    3) Continuous improvement and risk management related to cosmetics.
    4) Responding to customer inquiries due to diversification of products and services.
    5) Quality and safety compliance management within the supply chain.
    6) Exemption from evaluation during GMP audit of some overseas cosmetics (e.g., GMP in Iran)
    7) High evaluation when evaluating visits to overseas customers.
    8) Reinforcement of export competitiveness of cosmetics products by proving international quality competitiveness.
The U.S Certification Body is constantly striving to become a company of customer satisfaction by securing sincere and experienced judges so that domestic and foreign companies can implement the introduction of ISO 22716, which is internationally recognized. In addition, I am confident that I can overcome various crises that domestic and foreign companies may face in the future by establishing and implementing an internationally recognized quality system.
