Cosmetic product manufacturers based outside the European Union must appoint an EU Responsible Person (EURP) to legally place products on the EU market under the Cosmetic Products Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.
Unlike the UK market which utilizes the SCPN portal, the 27 EU Member States require all cosmetic notifications to be centralized through the CPNP (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal). Our team manages the entire CPNP upload process, ensuring your Product Information File (PIF) is linked correctly to the European authorities.
An EU Responsible Person acts as your legal presence within the EU, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, including CPNP registration, product safety documentation, and post-market obligations.
Patient Guard acts as your EU Responsible Person for Cosmetics, ensuring full compliance with EU cosmetic regulations and smooth access to the European market.
Without an EU-based responsible person, manufacturers cannot register products on the Cosmetic Product Notification Portal (CPNP) or legally sell cosmetics within the European Union.
Patient Guard provides expert EU Responsible Person services for cosmetic manufacturers worldwide. We support CPNP registration, Product Information File (PIF) review, Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) verification, and ongoing regulatory compliance.
Whether launching a new product or transferring from an existing EURP, we ensure a smooth and compliant route to EU market access.
Don’t juggle two different consultancies. By appointing Patient Guard as your dual UK & EU Responsible Person, you benefit from a unified compliance strategy. We maintain one master technical file that covers both regions, saving you administrative time and reducing the risk of data discrepancies between the SCPN and CPNP.
Under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, an EU Responsible Person is responsible for ensuring that cosmetic products comply with regulatory requirements, including:
Timeframes can be as little as 2 business days for a single PPE product review and UKAR onboarding from the date we receive your documentation. This is dependent on all technical documentation being complete and compliant, with no corrections required to the technical file, labelling, or Declaration of Conformity.
