At present, Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940, rules the cosmetic registration in India that defines the word
cosmetic as any article that intends to be, sprayed, poured, rubbed or
sprinkled in any human body parts for the purpose of cleansing, promoting,
beautifying or for changing the appearance and also involves any article that
is intended to be used as a cosmetic component.
Different kind of
cosmetic registrations in India
The most important question that comes to mind is what type
of registration or license you require for your cosmetic business. Have a look
at two types of cosmetic product registration in India:
- The
registration required for manufacturers for cosmetics is needed when you want
to manufacture a product that falls under the definition of cosmetics. The
license can be applied using form no 32 for the purpose of manufacturing
cosmetics either for sale or for distribution. The license in form no-32 A is
given for loan license for manufacturing cosmetics for sale or distribution.
Then the license using form 37 is given for permission or renewing the approval
for doing tests on cosmetics or the ingredients used in the manufacture of
cosmetics.
- Registration
needed for importing cosmetics is the other type of cosmetics registration. It is needed when you do not manufacture
the cosmetics but import and resale it in India.
The licensing authority, before issuing the license must do a
complete inspection of the entire premises where the operation is carried out.
The respective officer should submit a complete report to the authority who in
turn will decide whether to grant a license or not.
Now there are some other scenarios as well for cosmetics businesses. Like:
- Endorsement: When any company already holds a valid form 43 and wishes to add some more products to it or additional pack sizes for already registered products, then it has to apply for an endorsement using form no 43.
- Renewal: The form43 that is issued by CDSCO has a validity of 3 years and all applicants are needed to renew their licenses using this form before it expires for continuing the business.
