EFfCI GMP certification
The European Federation for Cosmetic Ingredients (EFfCI) is a leading industry association founded in 2000 to represent and support the cosmetic ingredients sector.
EFfCI unites industry experts on product safety and regulatory compliance, developing recommendations, standards, guidelines, and papers that help shape the cosmetic and personal care industry.
Eurofins Assurance is a recognized certifying body for EFfCI certification that you can count on.
Scope of EFfCI certification
The EFfCI GMP certification is widely recognized by cosmetic manufacturers and ingredient suppliers as a benchmark of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance. It assures that cosmetic ingredients are produced in facilities with robust quality management systems that:
- Minimize risks in manufacturing processes
- Ensure safety, quality, and efficacy of cosmetic ingredients
- Meet international industry expectations and regulatory requirements
By achieving EFfCI GMP certification, suppliers demonstrate their commitment to product integrity, consumer safety, and market trust.
The benefits of the EFfCI GMP certification scheme
Since its creation in 2005, the EFfCI GMP Guide has been continuously updated in line with ISO 9001 standards and further developed in collaboration with international cosmetic associations. It is freely available, globally recognized, and provides a consistent framework for quality and GMP compliance across the cosmetics supply chain.
For cosmetic manufacturers, EFfCI GMP certification provides confidence that their suppliers comply with an independently audited global standard and operate with consistent quality management practices.
For cosmetic ingredients suppliers, certification to EFfCI GMP offers them several benefits, including adherence to a standard that specifically addresses risks related to their market. It is scalable for various suppliers, and ensures uniform auditor interpretations while being widely accepted by cosmetics manufacturers.
