In essence, cosmetics inspection is an important part of the registration and filing of cosmetics in China. As the final checkpoint for cosmetics to reach consumers, cosmetics inspection and testing institutions shoulder a huge responsibility and the authenticity and accuracy of their reports will affect cosmetics' follow-up responses in the market.
In addition, due to the huge increase in the demand for functional cosmetics in China and the rigid requirements of Chinese cosmetics-related regulations, testing institutions have also ushered in a big outbreak. It is reported that more than 50 cosmetics registration and filing inspection and testing institutions have been added since last year.
In the context of the rapid increase in the number and quality of Chinese cosmetics manufacturers, strengthening the evaluation and supervision of cosmetics inspection agencies and strictly dealing with "problem" agencies has become one of the focus of current China's cosmetics supervision.
