Slovenia Cosmetic Product Registration

Prior to introducing a cosmetic product to the market, a manufacturer or importer is required to compile a Product Information File (PIF) for the cosmetic product and submit it for notification through the Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP). If a distributor translates the label for a product being sold in another EU Member State, they must also notify the cosmetic product into CPNP.

The Product Information File (PIF) Contains

A description of the cosmetic product.

The Cosmetic Product Safety Report Includes

• A clear description of the cosmetic product enabling easy identification within the product information file.
• Comprehensive cosmetic product safety report.
• Description of the manufacturing method along with a statement confirming compliance with good manufacturing practices.
• Provision of evidence supporting claimed effects for the cosmetic product when justified by its nature or impact.
• Documentation of any animal testing conducted by the manufacturer, their agents, or suppliers, concerning the development or safety assessment of the cosmetic product or its ingredients. This includes testing performed to meet legislative or regulatory requirements of third countries.

All information within the product information file must be presented in a language that can be readily understood by the competent authorities of the Member State.

This electronic notification is carried out through the online Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP).

Designation of the Responsible Person

Making a Safety Assessment of the Cosmetic Product
