Our latest article “Manufacturers’ Obligations Under Turkish Cosmetics Legislation” by Nihan Bacanak and Zeynep Toma is published on Mondaq.
Cosmetic products are mainly regulated under the Cosmetics Law No. 5324, the Cosmetics Regulation, and the relevant guidelines issued by the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency of the Ministry of Health (the “TMMDA“), which bring a number of obligations on manufacturers.
According to the cosmetics legislation, manufacturer can be any individual or legal entity that manufactures or improves a cosmetic product, or introduces themselves as a manufacturer by placing their name, trademark or distinctive sign on a cosmetic product. If the manufacturer is based outside Turkey, the local representative and/or importer authorized by such manufacturer will be treated as the manufacturer under the legislation. Further, any individual or legal entity involved in the supply chain of a cosmetic product and whose activities have an impact on the safety of the product is also considered as a manufacturer.
Manufacturers are under the obligation to take the necessary measures to ensure release of only those cosmetic products that are in compliance with the cosmetics legislation, and to carry out the manufacturing activities in accordance with the TMMDA’s Cosmetics Good Manufacturing Practices Guide announced on 31 December 2015.
