Laboratory Testing for Cosmetic Products in Türkiye

Laboratory testing is a mandatory step for placing cosmetic products on the Turkish market. These scientific evaluations confirm that a product is safe, stable, and suitable for consumer use before it is launched.

Under the Turkish Cosmetics Regulation, laboratory testing forms an integral part of the Product Information File (PIF) and is required for every cosmetic product.

Obelis Türkiye supports this process by coordinating the necessary testing activities and ensuring that results are properly documented and ready for inclusion in both your PIF and Cosmetic Product Safety Assessment Report (CPSR).
