Legal Background
Why Do Cosmetic Products Need Laboratory Testing?
In accordance with the Turkish Cosmetics Regulation, cosmetic products must undergo appropriate laboratory testing as part of their safety and compliance assessment. The results are reviewed by a qualified Safety Assessor to determine whether the product is safe for consumer use and to finalize the safety evaluation.
Failure to complete the required testing may lead to serious consequences, including:
- Product bans or rejection from the Turkish market
- Incomplete or invalid Product Information Files (PIF) and CPSR documentation
- Delays in UTS (Product Tracking System) notifications
- Administrative fines, product recalls, or public safety warnings
- Damage to brand reputation
- Increased risks to consumer safety
