When you need to submit a Cosmetic Product Notification?
If you are making cosmetic products available to consumers in Great Britain (GB: England, Scotland, and Wales), you must notify your cosmetic products using the Submit cosmetic product notifications service.
There is a separate process for placing cosmetic products on the market in Northern Ireland. UK manufacturers and UK importers (for products manufactured outside the UK) are by definition considered to be the Responsible Person (RP) including legal liability. RPs are required to ensure full product compliance and safety, and to demonstrate that at all times.
Sushvin Consultancy Services can act as an UK Responsible Person for your organisation to fulfil its obligations required under Regulation 1223/2009 and Cosmetic Products Enforcement Regulations 2013. Sushvin Consultancy Services has been providing Responsible Person (RP) services to many UK manufacturers and importers (for cosmetic products manufactured outside of UK).
SCPN: What is it?
SCPN is the official British notification portal where the UK Responsible Persons register cosmetics products BEFORE their will being placed on the market. This SCPN registration is a legal obligation present in the UK Cosmetic Regulations (EC) No. 1223/2009 (UKCR).
Who can submit a notification?
The cosmetic product ‘responsible person’ can submit a notification. A responsible person, who must be established in the UK, can be either:
Which information is necessary to register a product in the UK?
To submit a cosmetic product notification via SCPN, you will require the following information:
It is SAFE to share this information?
Absolutely. SCPN is a government official database and nobody can check the information that companies and Responsible Persons upload on it.
What is the result of SCPN Registration?
Once the product is successfully registered in the SCPN portal, a SCPN registration number is obtained. This number identifies your cosmetic product during its lifetime in the UK. Furthermore, a PDF report is generated, which contains a summary of all the product information uploaded on to the portal.
SCPN registration is valid for eternity?
You have to update the registration if one of the points shown in the part “Which information is necessary to register a product in the UK?” changes. It includes, for example, changes in the Responsible Person, label, formula, country of origin, etc.
Who can see the SCPN information?
Nobody can see whether your products are registered or not in the SCPN database. Only national authorities (governments, customs, etc) can check it. The SCPN information, registration number, and registration Report are information only available for the Responsible Persons and product owners' companies.
I no longer sell my product in the United Kingdom, what happens?
If one company discontinues the sales of their cosmetic product in the UK, it must, through its Responsible Person, notify on the SCPN portal that the product will no longer be placed on to the UK market.
