  2. Product Information File History Regulatory provisions Guidelines for PIF R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  3. Product Information File • HISTORY • Started with implementation of the EU cosmetic Directive in 1976 • - Based on the principles that : • Cosmetic products must be safe and safety is the responsibility of the Manufacturer • Authorities should control the conformity of marketed products R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  4. Product Information File Cosmetic products must be safe: this is the main principle of this regulation. “Cosmetic products shall not damage human healthunder normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use ” (art.2 of the EU Cosmetic Directive) R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  5. Product information file Authorities shouldsurvey or monitor marketedproducts: Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that, in the labeling, putting up for sale and advertising of cosmetic products, text, names, trade marks, pictures and figurative or other signs are not used to imply that these products have characteristics which they do not have. (art. 6 - § 3 of the EU Cosmetic Directive ) R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  6. Product Information File Further in the text of the EU Cosmetic Directive 76/768 exists a provision that sets the basis of the “product Information file” although this official name is not yet adopted: The manufacturer … responsiblefor placing … cosmetic product on the Community market shall for control purposes keep the following informationreadily accessible to the competent authorities … (Art. 7a of the EU Cosmetic Directive) R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  8. Product information file (c) The method of manufacture complying with the good manufacturing practice laid down by Community law or, failing that, laid down by the law of the Member State concerned; (d) Assessmentof the safetyfor human health of the finished product.

MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  10. All these information were known as “The Product Dossier” in the industry jargon. In 2007 a revision (or “recast”) of the EU Cosmetic Directive 76/768 EEC was undertaken by the EU authorities and achieved in 2009. It is named the Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 it is going to enter into force next year with more detailed provisions and duties for industry and authorities. In this new regulation, The “Product Dossier” becomes the Product Information File. R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  11. Product information file The spirit of the former Directive 76/768 is maintained in the new Cosmetic Regulation EC No 1223/2009 Safety of cosmetic products remains always the most important principle: “A cosmetic product made available on the market shall be safefor human health when used under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use…” (EU Cosmetic Regulation No 1223/2009 Art. 3) R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  12. Product information file An important set of Definitions helps to clarify the meaning of the terms used in the articles such as: Cosmetic products, Substance, Mixture, Manufacturer, Distributor, Making available on the market, Placing on the market, Importer, Harmonized Standards, Responsible persons, Safety Assessor, Undesirable effect, etc… R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

(Art 2.1 (g)) R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  15. Product information file Examples of definitions: In the EU the right to market a cosmetic product in conformity to the regulation relies on the responsibility of the marketer. Responsibility is a very important burden and plays a major role. Provision for defining the layout of the responsibility frame is necessary: “Only cosmetic products for which a legal or natural person is designated within the Community as ‘responsible person’ shall be placed on the market”. (EU Cosmetic Regulation No 1223/2009 Art. 4-1) R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  17.

MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  18. Product information file Responsible persons shall cooperate with authorities … Is the first point of contact for the enforcement authorities should there be any enquiry on the product he has placed on the market. In particular, responsible persons shall, further to a reasoned request from a competent national authority, provide it with all the information and documentationnecessary to demonstrate the conformity of specific aspects of the product, in a language which can be easily understood by that authority. (EU Cosmetic Regulation No 1223/2009 Art. 5-3) R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  19. Product information file The new EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 has dedicated a specific chapter for Product Information file, under the article 11: “When a cosmetic product is placed on the market, the responsible person shall keep a product information file for it. The product information file shall be kept for a period often yearsfollowing the date on which the last batch of the cosmetic product was placed on the market.” (EU Cosmetic Regulation No 1223/2009 Art. 11-1) R.

MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  22. Product information file (e) data on any animal testing performed by the manufacturer, his agents or suppliers, relating to the development or safety assessment of the cosmetic product or its ingredients, including any animal testing performed to meet the legislative or regulatory requirements of third countries. (EU Cosmetic Regulation No 1223/2009 Art. 11-2) R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  23. Product information file The responsible person shall make the product information file readily accessible in electronicor other format at his address indicated on the label to the competent authority of the Member State in which the file is kept. The information contained in the product information file shall be available in a language which can be easily understood by the competent authorities of the Member State. (EU Cosmetic Regulation No 1223/2009 Art. 11-3) R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  24. Product information file Readily accessible: The P.I.F. should be available to control officers at the address of the responsible person labeled (or, in case of several addresses, highlighted) on the product, within a reasonable time period (e.g. 72 hours). Whilst many items may be rapidly accessible through electronic media, there may be a short delay when information is accessed by other means. R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  25. Product information file Format and language of the P.I.F. The Regulation requires the P.I.F. to be kept in electronic format or any other format (e.g. paper), as long as it is readily accessible to the competent authority in the Member State where the P.I.F is kept. The text concerning the language used for the P.I.F. states that the information should be easily understood by the controlling officer when he/she comes to verify the P.I.F. in the country where it is kept. R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  26. Product information file Format and language of the P.I.F. Therefore, it is obviously in the interest of the company concerned to make the P.I.F. available in the national language(s) for the country where the P.I.F is held, unless it has been previously established that the competent authority is equally willing to accept another language. In many Member States, English will be “a language easily understood by the competent authorities”. R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  27. Product information file Location of and access to the P.I.F. Thus, the point of access to the P.I.F. for the competent authorities is the address of the responsible person specified on the packaging of the marketed product. This address must be indicated on the product, as required under Article 19.1a of the Regulation: Each company may choose a single place within the EU where the complete P.I.F. is accessible. This place need not be a manufacturing site. R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  28. Product information file Location of and access to the P.I.F. Where there is more than one address on the packaging of a marketed product, the single point of access to the P.I.F. must be highlighted (e.g. underlined). In the case of a product manufactured outside the EU, the P.I.F. must be accessible within the EU at the address on the label. If an abbreviated address is used on the label, it must be sufficient to allow the identification of and the access to the undertaking. The address may be abbreviated to a well-known city or town such that the normal postal service will deliver a letter to that address. R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  29. Product information file Location of and access to the P.I.F. This address (underlined) Example of address: R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  30. Product information file Location of and access to the P.I.F. As the P.I.F. must be “readily accessible”, authorities will expect that it is made available within a reasonable period of time even if it does not have to be physically kept at the point of access Should the authorities request additional information, such as further supporting documentation, this may take a few days to be made available. The support documentation for the P.I.F. may also not necessarily be on company premises, e.g. it could be at the office of a contract laboratory or consultant. It can also be kept outside the EU. R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  31. Product information file Location of and access to the P.I.F. The accessibility of the documentation has to be assured. The P.I.F. is accessible in one of the Member States, at the discretion of the responsible person. Should a justified request for information be made by another Member State, such a request is transmitted through the competent authorities of the country where the P.I.F. is accessible. These competent authorities will report the results of their consultation to the competent authority of the EU Member State which made the request. R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  32. Location of and access to the P.I.F. Any authority that is given access to such information must keep it confidential. Making the P.I.F. readily accessible does not imply providing copies of any part of the information to control officers. Under Article 5.3, in the exceptional case of a reasoned (i.e. motivated) request from a national competent authority, the responsible person shall provide it with particular pieces of information and documentation necessary to demonstrate that specific aspects of the product are in compliance with the Regulation. R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012

  33. Product information file Location of and access to the P.I.F. Ownership of all data comprising the PIF, either as hard copy or electronically, remains the property of the responsible person. It should not be expected that an enforcement officer removes from the premises of the responsible person any documents of the P.I.F.. However, if there are reasonable grounds to suspect an offence has been committed the officer may have the power to require the responsible person to produce any records relating to his business and seize and detain goods or records. (EU Cosmetic Regulation No 1223/2009 Art. 11-4) R. MONTIGNY Cosmetic PIF Notification GMP Management Workshop TAIPEI - 4th December 2012
