Control of Cosmetic Products

The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) has implemented the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive (ACD) under the Health Products Act for the regulatory control of cosmetic products with effect from 01 January 2008. The new subsidiary legislation “Health Products (Cosmetic Products – ASEAN Cosmetic Directive) Regulations 2007” supersedes the previous legislation governing the control of cosmetic products under the Medicines Act. 
 
The Cosmetics Control Unit (CCU), which was set up since November 1995, is responsible for the administration of the regulations for cosmetic products. Please click on the following link to download the Guidelines on the Control of Cosmetic Products. Updated


ASEAN Cosmetic Directive (ACD)

The ACD is the result of an ASEAN-wide initiative to harmonise the regulation of cosmetic products through a set of standardised requirements that safeguards public health and safety.  All member countries are obliged to implement the ACD by 1 January 2008. HSA views the ACD as an opportunity for greater collaboration in ASEAN. For more information on the ACD, please click here
