Good Manufacturing Practice certification for cosmetic products

Good Manufacturing Practice certification

Cosmetic product manufacturers in Singapore do not require a manufacturer’s licence. However, the manufacturer may apply for a voluntary Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certificate to facilitate the export of the cosmetic products.

After receiving your application, we will arrange to conduct a GMP certification audit in accordance with the GMP Guidelines for Manufacturers of Cosmetic Products [PDF, 224 KB], which encompasses all the recommendations of the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive in relation to GMP. A site master file should be prepared in accordance with the  Guide for Preparation of a Site Master File for a Manufacturer of Cosmetic Products [PDF, 163 KB] and submitted before the GMP certification audit.

The GMP certificate will be granted when you are deemed to have complied with the above mentioned GMP standard.
