A cosmetic is formulated to kill the organisms used to test it, so safety, manufacturing practice and microbiology belong in one document.
Overview
This is one reference document rather than a system: the AGS cosmetics master guideline, prepared as an international edition of UAE.S GSO 1943:2021 on cosmetic product safety requirements, UAE.S/GSO ISO 22716:2009 on good manufacturing practice and UAE.S/GSO ISO 18415:2009 on microbiological detection. It states what a cosmetic must be, how it must be made and how it must be tested in one clause-level text, with the presumption of conformity, the safety assessment kept on file, homogeneity and shelf-life stability among its operative requirements.
What it covers
- Safety requirements and absolute prohibitions, including pork-free formulation
- The per-product safety assessment and the presumption of conformity
- ISO 22716 practice across production, storage and quality control
- The five annexes, positive lists and restricted substances such as AHAs
- Microbiological detection and testing aligned with ISO 18415
Who it's for
Cosmetics manufacturers and contract fillers, importers and brand owners, product safety assessors, microbiology laboratories and market authorities. It is bought when a product safety file must be assembled or defended, and it puts safety, manufacturing and testing requirements in one place instead of three.
