ISO 22716:2007 is the international Good Manufacturing Practice guideline for cosmetics, covering production, control, storage and shipment of cosmetic products.
ISO 22716 sets out Good Manufacturing Practice for cosmetics: the organisational and technical controls that make sure products are made, controlled, stored and shipped consistently and safely. Cosmetics law requires products to be manufactured to GMP, and ISO 22716 is the recognised way to show you do.
Any business manufacturing, filling or storing cosmetic and personal care products. Retailers and brand owners increasingly ask their manufacturers for ISO 22716 certification as evidence of GMP, and it is a strong foundation for BRCGS Consumer Products.

Cosmetics law requires products to be made to Good Manufacturing Practice. ISO 22716 is the recognised standard for showing GMP compliance; certification itself is voluntary.
It depends on how much of your system is already in place. A gap analysis at the start gives you a realistic plan and timescale.
Yes. Much of the GMP evidence overlaps, so a working ISO 22716 system is a strong base for BRCGS certification.
