PODMIOT ODPOWIEDZIALNY (RP) - PRZENIESIENIE ODPOWIEDZIALNOŚCI ZA PRODUKTY KOSMETYCZNE

According to EC Regulation 1223/2009, every cosmetic product placed on the EU market must have a designated Responsible Person (RP) based in the EU. According to Article 4 of EC Regulation 1223/2009, the responsible person is the legal or natural person ensuring that any cosmetic product on the EU market complies with all relevant legislation. This role can be carried out by the manufacturer (if based in the EU), the importer, the distributor or a designated third party based in the EU. Compliance with these obligations is essential to maintain product safety and regulatory compliance in the European Union.
For cosmetics manufactured outside the EU, you can transfer the regulatory responsibility to a third party – the Responsible Person (RP). The RP then reviews and approves the CPSR and PIF and notifies the product in the CPNP. The RP enters into an RP services agreement with you, while you or your clients (EU importers) join the agreement by providing the RP with written mandate. The RP will also inform you of any updates to the product information or changes to the product that may be required due to changes in applicable regulations.
RP keeps the PIF of your products for 10 years and is involved in any inspections by the Authorities instead of you.
