The responsible person is the legal representative of the cosmetic product in Ukraine, who bears legal responsibility for non-compliance of the product with the requirements of the technical regulation on cosmetic products and guarantees the safety of cosmetics.

According to the approved Technical regulation, a responsible person must be appointed for any cosmetic product placed on the market, who must be indicated on the label in bold or underlined font for easy identification in case of need. So the one who bears the real responsibility will now always be “in the access zone” in case of any problems.

The responsible person can be the manufacturer, the owner of the brand, which places on the terms of contract production, in some cases, the distributor, as well as the official importer, or an individual or legal entity with written consent, and most importantly, it must be exclusively a resident of Ukraine.

It is the responsible person who ensures compliance with TR requirements and is responsible for:

● Quality of the production process: compliance with GMP production and national standards
● Compliance with product safety requirements
● Availability of a report on the safety of products presented on the market
● Compliance with labeling
● Compliance with the stated claims about the products
● Public access to product information
● Notification
● Keeping management
● Cooperation with the state market supervision authority
