Your 7-Step Strategic Bridge to Indian Beauty Compliance:
- Local Expertise is Key: Appoint an Indian Authorised Representative. Just like the RP in the UK/EU, a local expert is mandatory in India. They manage CDSCO registrations and ensure smooth documentation. Partnering with GCRS guarantees an efficient and compliant process.
- Ingredient Deep Dive: Review & Adapt Your Formulas. Not every EU/UK-approved ingredient gets the green light in India. A comprehensive formulation review is crucial to pinpoint restricted substances and gather any extra safety data.
- PIF Power-Up: Create a Compliant Product Dossier. Your existing PIF is a great start, but it needs an Indian makeover. Ensure your toxicology reports align with Indian standards and meticulously document alternative testing methods to satisfy Indian authorities.
- Unlock Market Access: Secure CDSCO Registration. The Cosmetic Registration Certificate is your golden ticket for each imported product. Expect to submit detailed ingredient info, safety assessments, and manufacturer authorisation along with registration fees. Factor in a 3 to 6-month processing window.
- Beyond ISO 22716: Master BIS & Indian GMP. While ISO 22716 is a solid base, certain products demand adherence to specific Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). GCRS streamlines your transition to full Indian GMP compliance.
- Labelling Localisation: Speak India's Language. Packaging tweaks are essential alongside batch numbers, expiry dates, MRP, and your CDSCO registration number.
- Claim Clarity: Align marketing with Indian Standards. Marketing claims must resonate with the Indian Authorities to avoid compliance hiccups.
