Cosmetics, GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICES (GMP) – ISO 22716: 2009

The Jagiellonian Center of Innovation has implemented the GMP requirements in the production of cosmetics in accordance with the ISO 22716 standard. The requirements of this standard have been introduced into the quality management system in order to ensure appropriate production standards, and thus ensure the appropriate quality and safety of manufactured cosmetic products.

The ISO 22716 standard covers: personnel, premises, equipment, raw materials and packaging materials, production, finished product, quality control laboratory, waste, subcontracting, complaint and recall, internal audits and documentation.

The Jagiellonian Center of Innovation meets the requirements of the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EC) No. 1223/2009 of 30 November 2009 on cosmetic products and the Act of 4 October 2018 on cosmetic products (Journal of Laws, item 2227).

Food safety management system based on HACCP

The Jagiellonian Center of Innovation, meeting the needs of customers from the food sector, including manufacturers of dietary supplements and foodstuffs for special medical purposes, introduced the requirements of the food safety management system based on HACCP (Hazard Analysis And Critical Control Points) to the Quality Management System. The requirements concern the manufacturing process and include storage, production and quality control of manufactured products.

The obligation to implement HACCP procedures results from Art. 5 of Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs.

The food safety management system aims to eliminate or minimize threats affecting the quality and safety of food. Therefore, the Quality Management System in the production area of the Jagiellonian Center of Innovation, originally based on the requirements of the ISO 22716 standard, defining GMP guidelines in the production of cosmetics, has been supplemented with requirements in food production.
