Sanitary-Epidemiological (Hygienic) Certification
According to the requirements of the Law of Ukraine “On ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population”, a sanitary-epidemiological certificate (hygienic certificate) is required for the introduction of a cosmetic product.
A sanitary-epidemiological (hygienic) is a one-time document issued by the bodies of the state sanitary-epidemiological service, confirming the safety for human health and life of certain types of consumer’s goods (cosmetics, production of children’s assortment, household products, etc.) based on the results of sanitary-chemical, toxicological, physical-chemical, radiological, microbiological and other studies.
The procedure for conducting sanitary-hygienic expert examination and issuing certificates was approved by Order of the MoH of Ukraine No. 247 dated October 9, 2010.
An application for a sanitary-hygienic expert examination contains information about the manufacturer, the Applicant (owner of the conclusion), the code of international business activity, the name and scope of application and sales of products. The application may include an extensive list of similar products.
Together with the Application, it is necessary to submit documentation for products and samples. No manufacture visitation is carried out, GMP conformity is not required.
The expert examination is carried out and the results of its conclusion are issued by the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection. The expert examination includes laboratory studies of product samples, expert examination of the submitted documents, scientific substantiation of safety criteria and conditions for the use of products.
Based on the results of the expert examination, a conclusion (certificate) is issued, approved by the Head of the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection, and is entered into the electronic register.
The duration of the conclusion (hygienic certificate) for imported products is 5 years. After the date of expiry of the conclusion, you must go through the procedure again.
