تغييرات 2025–2026
- China NMPA Announcement No. 70 (2026) streamlines registration and filing
Eight measures: a first-launch-in-China commitment replaces home-market sale proof, animal-test exemptions widen, ingredient safety data are archived instead of submitted, similar formulas may share test reports, cross-border production transfers and domestic-responsible-person changes are simplified, and more efficacy-test methods are accepted. المصدر
- China stops accepting simplified safety assessment reports
The one-year transition under NMPA Announcement 2024 No. 50 ended, so every new registration or filing now needs a full-version safety assessment per the 2021 Technical Guidelines, with eligible general cosmetics submitting the basic conclusion and keeping the full report on file. المصدر
