Additional Information

The PIF is a compilation of technical documents that must accompany each cosmetic product before it may be sold in Europe. The responsible person must keep the file for at least 10 years after the last batch of a specified product was put on the market inside the European Union. It must be always available to European Competent Authorities. Appointing a Responsible Person early in the process, completing all the necessary testing and having PIF ready will speed up the process.  

Manufacturers or suppliers of cosmetic products are required to furnish product information in Dutch. Should the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (Nederlandse Voedsel en Waren Autoriteit, NVWA) request specific product information, it must be provided within three working days.
