Cosmetics Animal Test Go back »
2021-04-23 | All chapters
On 4th March 2021, the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) officially released the Provisions for Management of Cosmetic Registration and Notification Dossiers (Provisions), which take effect from 1st May 2021.
These Provisions finally conditionally waive the requirement for animal testing of non-special cosmetics imported into China, which has been in place since 1989. The European Chamber Cosmetics Working Group has worked continuously over the past 14 years to eliminate such requirements and advocate for advanced alternatives to animal testing.
This is the first of a series of 2021 #BECAUSEOFUS advocacy success stories to show our gratitude for the joint efforts of all stakeholders: governments, think tanks, member companies and our own WG and desk managers.
