With the official release of the standard for the quality management of cosmetics production, the importance of cosmetics quality control is highlighted. The cosmetics production quality management specification was officially released and will come into force on July 1, 2022. It requires the registrants, filers and entrusted manufacturers of cosmetics to establish a production quality management system and clarify the responsibilities and authorities of quality management, production and other departments. With the rapid growth of the scale and number of enterprises in the cosmetics industry, some small and medium-sized enterprises in the industry take sales as the guidance, catalyze brand development and weaken product quality in order to share industry dividends. The problems of imperfect production quality management system and low level of product quality and safety control of small and medium-sized enterprises are still common. Therefore, China’s cosmetics industry has continuously introduced relevant policies and management norms, requiring manufacturers to establish a quality management system, urging entrusted manufacturers to standardize production behavior, and increasing investment in R & D technology, quality control management and talent introduction. Under the background of continuous improvement of industry standards, the implementation of the policy will benefit Nanjing Cosmos Chemical Co.Ltd(300856) and other companies.
