The role explained
More than an address on the label
A Responsible Person is the designated person or legal entity responsible for ensuring a cosmetic product meets the applicable market requirements. Their duties include safety documentation, product information, labelling and required notifications.
Great Britain requires a UK-established Responsible Person; the EU requires one established in the EU. Northern Ireland follows a different framework. We review your intended markets and agree the appropriate appointment and responsibilities in writing.
- 1
Great Britain
UK-established Responsible Person and notification through the UK SCPN service.
- 2
European Union
EU-established Responsible Person and notification through the EU CPNP portal.
- 3
Northern Ireland
EU cosmetics rules apply; arrangements must be reviewed separately for this market.
