REGULATION (EC) No 1223/2009 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND
OF THE COUNCIL of 30 November 2009 on cosmetic products
 Preambula 20
To ensure the uniform application and control of the

restrictions for substances, sampling and analysis should be
carried out in a reproducible and standardised manner.
CHAPTER VII
MARKET SURVEILLANCE
Article 22
In-market control
 Member States shall monitor compliance with this Regulation via
in-market controls of the cosmetic products made available on
the market.
 They shall perform appropriate checks of cosmetic products and

checks on the economic operators on an adequate scale, through
the product information file and, where appropriate, physical
and laboratory checks on the basis of adequate samples.
PEMSAC
 EU countries are responsible for the surveillance of their own
markets for cosmetics. In order to ensure a coherent approach
to consumer products issues, the market surveillance
authorities of all EU countries established the Platform of
European Market Surveillance Authorities for Cosmetics

EDQM - OCCL
Official Cosmetics Control Laboratories (OCCLs) check the quality of cosmetic
products on the market and support market surveillance activities of the
competent authorities. By alerting authorities to products that do not comply
with national and European regulations for cosmetic products, OCCLs contribute
to consumer health protection.
EDQM - OCCL
 The European Network of national OCCLs was set up on a

voluntary basis; more than 30 OCCLs participate in
regular network activities, including laboratories in 19
Member States of the European Union.
 An OCCL is a public institution with a mandate to perform
laboratory testing of cosmetic and other products as
appropriate, for the purpose of market surveillance.

Common approach
 In order to ensure that testing results related to official

controls are sufficiently robust and reliable, the analysis
should be performed in accordance with the principles laid
down in ISO 17025:2005 – General requirements for the
competence of testing and calibration laboratories
Selection of the method based on its validation status
 1-Community method
 2-CEN European standard (EN) or ISO/CEN standard (EN ISO)
 3-Other internationally harmonised protocols (e.g. OCCL
harmonised and validated methods11; CEN Technical
Specifications (CEN/TS));
 4-Ring-trial validated method;
 5-Single-laboratory validated method;
this method should be applied to perform the analysis.
