Authority

Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) sets the rules; national bodies enforce — in Russia Rospotrebnadzor (state registration, surveillance) and accredited certification bodies for declarations

Main regulation

TR CU 009/2011 (Customs Union Commission Decision No. 799 of 23 September 2011) · Technical Regulation of the Customs Union TR CU 009/2011 'On Safety of Perfumery and Cosmetic Products'

In force

2012-07-01

Market entry

Mandatory EAC conformity assessment before placing on the market — Declaration of Conformity for most cosmetics, or a State Registration Certificate (SGR) for higher-risk groups such as children's, intimate-hygiene, tanning, whitening, hair-dye/perm, chemical-peel and fluoride >0.15% products — recorded in the EAEU unified register.

Responsible person

The applicant for the declaration or state registration must be a legal entity or sole trader registered in an EAEU member state (manufacturer, its authorised representative or importer) and is named on the label.

Safety file

Technical evidence behind the declaration — test reports from accredited EAEU laboratories (physico-chemical, microbiological, toxicological/clinical) plus GMP evidence; no PIF/CPSR concept but equivalent documents are held by the applicant.

Labeling

Russian (plus the state language of the member state of sale) for product name, purpose, warnings, applicant/manufacturer details, shelf life and batch; the ingredient list may use INCI/Latin; EAC mark mandatory; no fragrance-allergen declaration requirement.

Animal testing

No ban — animal testing is not prohibited and toxicological data may still be generated in vivo.

Ingredient lists

Annex 1 (prohibited), Annex 2 (restricted), Annex 3 (colorants), Annex 4 (preservatives), Annex 5 (UV filters) of TR CU 009/2011, plus the list of products subject to state registration (Annex 12).

Notes

Annex numbering for the state-registration product list (Annex 12) and the SGR product categories are summarised from certification-body guidance, not re-verified against the consolidated regulation text.
