The circulation of cosmetics presupposes the existence and the declaration on the label of a responsible person (import company (importer), production company within the EU (manufacturer) who has full responsibility for the safety of the cosmetic product in the market. It is the responsibility of the person in charge to comply with national and EU law. Reg. 1223/2009 / EC stipulates that the responsible person must have at his disposal the information file of the cosmetic product (RIF - Product Information File).

The file, among others, includes the preparation of a safety report of the cosmetic product, product description, proof of effectiveness, etc.

The ΝΜΑ (National Medicines Agency), as the competent national control authority, inspects the companies of the responsible persons and checks the existence, the correctness, and the documentation of the files. HELLASCHEM is one of the few companies in Greece that provides full support to cosmetics companies and marketing companies thanks to:
