Responsible Person
Responsible Person
According to EU Regulation 1223/2009 every cosmetic company must appoint a Responsible Person (RP), natural or legal, within the European Union, for any cosmetic product placed on the European market.
A RP is a natural or legal person established in the EU.
The RP can be a consulting firm, a manufacturer, an importer, or a distributor.
In the case where the manufacturer, the importer or the distributor, appoint a RP, the only formalism imposed by the EU Regulation 1223/2009 is that there has to be a written agreement between the parties.
