Ensure Compliance and Safety for Global Markets
The safety of cosmetic products is critical to consumer health, and regulatory authorities worldwide have established strict requirements for cosmetics sold within their markets. Products can only be marketed once they comply with local laws and regulations and are prepared for market surveillance inspections.
At CIRS Testing, we help brands navigate the testing and compliance evaluations required for cosmetic export, ensuring that products meet regulatory standards in the EU, UK, US, China, South Korea, and other international markets.
