Following hereby “The Standards”. This Standards serves as an important regulatory basis for the evaluation of cosmetic efficacy claims in China after the implementation of the “Cosmetics Supervision and Administration Regulations (CSAR).”

1. Submit Basis Summary of Efficacy Claims

Except for the efficacy claims that only have physical effects, the Standards requires cosmetic registrants or filing persons to upload a basis summary of product efficacy claims on a special website designated by the NMPA.
