CPNPjärjestelmää

CPNPjärjestelmää is a Finnish term that translates to "CPNP system" in English. This refers to the Consumer Product Notification Portal (CPNP) system, which is a European Union online platform used for reporting and managing information about cosmetic products placed on the EU market.

The CPNP system is a mandatory requirement under the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. It allows for the notification of cosmetic products before they are made available to consumers. This notification process is crucial for ensuring the safety of cosmetic products and for market surveillance by competent authorities in the EU member states.

When a cosmetic product is intended to be placed on the EU market, the responsible person, typically the manufacturer or importer, must notify the product through the CPNP system. This notification includes detailed information about the product, such as its composition, physical-chemical characteristics, toxicological profile, and the name and address of the responsible person. It also requires the submission of a Product Information File (PIF), which contains all the necessary safety documentation.

The CPNP system facilitates the exchange of information between economic operators and the competent authorities. It helps in identifying products that may pose a risk to public health and enables rapid action if a problem is detected. The portal is accessible to regulatory authorities across all EU member states, as well as to the European Commission. Access for the general public is restricted to protect confidential business information.
