Regulatory documentation for EU and UK cosmetics compliance

Start with your product

A clear first step, before the dossier work

Tell us what the product is, where you plan to sell it and which documents you have. We will indicate the likely EU and/or Great Britain route. A document-by-document review is separately scoped and quoted before it begins.

01 · Free quick route check

Find the likely next step

Send a public product page if you have one, plus the product type, number of formulas and target markets. We respond with the likely service route and the main questions to resolve. No confidential formula is needed.

This is an orientation from the information you share, not a safety assessment or a compliance verdict.

Start the quick check

02 · Detailed review, if useful

Turn documents into an action list

If the product needs a closer look, we agree the scope, fee and secure transfer method first. The review can identify available evidence, missing documents, who normally supplies them and the work needed next.

Any CPSR, PIF, notification or Responsible Person work is quoted for its own scope.

Illustrative example

What a written gap list can show

Example only: a leave-on cosmetic intended for the EU and Great Britain. Actual requests depend on the product and the evidence received.

  • Available: draft product description and label artwork.
  • To request: quantitative formulation and supporting raw-material documents.
  • To verify: finished-product stability and microbiological evidence.

EU packaging requirements

PPWR: packaging compliance, step by step

Separate legislation. Separately scoped support. PPWR (EU) 2025/40 is not part of the EU Cosmetic Products Regulation (EC) 1223/2009. A CPSR, PIF, CPNP notification or cosmetic Responsible Person appointment does not establish PPWR compliance. Our PPWR services are separately scoped and quoted; they are not automatically included in cosmetics compliance work.

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40 generally applies from 12 August 2026, with further requirements phased in over the coming years. It covers packaging of all materials, including cosmetic containers, outer boxes and delivery packaging.

What it aims to change

Less unnecessary packaging and waste, better recyclability, more reuse and recycled plastic content, and clearer sorting information.

What to do now

Map your packaging, markets and legal roles. Review current documentation and EPR duties, then plan for later labelling and design requirements. Deadlines vary by measure and packaging category.

How AsCo Europe helps

Packaging gap reviews, supplier evidence, technical-file and declaration support, label checks, EPR coordination and a practical implementation roadmap.
