Regarding the method of labeling net content for cosmetic labels, the new rules explain that the net content is composed of "net content" (in Chinese), numbers, and legal measurement units (or Chinese count units).
Today (May 18th), the Guangzhou Municipal Administration for Market Regulation issued the Common Cosmetic Notification Q&A (38) (hereinafter referred to as "Q&A"), which made relevant regulations on the labeling of net content for prepackaged products.
According to the "Q&A," the Measures for the Supervision and Management of Quantitative Packaging Commodities (State Administration for Market Regulation Order No. 70) will be officially implemented from June 1, 2023, and the Measures for the Supervision and Management of Quantitative Packaging Commodities published by the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine Order No. 75 on May 30, 2005, will be abolished simultaneously.
Regarding the method of labeling net content for cosmetic labels, the "Q&A" explains that the net content is composed of "net content" (in Chinese), numbers, and legal measurement units (or Chinese count units). For prepackaged products with net content marked in terms of length, area, or count units, the words "net content" (in Chinese) can be omitted, and only numbers and legal measurement units (or Chinese count units) should be marked. For cosmetics with content indicated by counting, numbers and Chinese count units, such as pieces, sheets, or tablets, can be marked on the display side of the product packaging.
Meanwhile, according to the State Administration for Market Regulation Order No. 70, there are two methods for marking the net content of a set product. First, for packages containing multiple pieces of the same type of prepackaged product, the net content of a single prepackaged product and the total number of pieces should be marked, or the total net content can be marked.
Second, for packages containing multiple pieces of different types of prepackaged products, the net content of each different type of prepackaged product and the number of pieces for each different type should be marked, or the total net content for each different type of prepackaged product should be marked separately.
