Internal Audit for Cosmetics in Europe
Internal Audit for Cosmetics Regulatory Affairs in Europe
In the highly regulated European cosmetics market, maintaining compliance with EU Regulation 1223/2009 is essential—not only for product safety and legal conformity, but also for your brand’s reputation and access to EU markets.
To support cosmetics companies aiming to sell in Europe — whether based in the EU or abroad — we offer structured internal audits tailored to the European regulatory framework, helping them understand how their quality and regulatory systems align with EU standards.
Our audits can be conducted remotely or on site, depending on your preference and operational needs.
How we support your Regulatory Audit Process
Our regulatory affairs audits for cosmetics in the EU are based on a clear methodology and adapted to the size, scope, and regulatory maturity of your company. The process includes:
Planning of audit activities, based on your regulatory scope and internal structure;
Documentation review: We verify the completeness, structure, and conformity of SOPs, quality manuals, product files, and regulatory records;
Implementation assessment: We check whether the documented procedures are effectively applied across departments and manufacturing operations;
Audit report: Compilation of a detailed report outlining results, non-conformities (if any), and suggestions for improvement.
We assess your practices against key regulatory areas, including EU 1223/2009 compliance, GMP principles (where applicable), and internal documentation control.
Also, audits are available in two formats: Remote audit, ideal for early evaluations, document-based reviews, or distributed teams; Or On-site audit, recommended for full process verification and physical inspection of operations.
