Cosmetics Product Information File (PIF) development services

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

What is the PIF and why do you need it?

The Product Information File (PIF), also known as the Product Information Dossier, is a legal requirement for any cosmetic product marketed in the European Union under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.
This document ensures your product has been assessed for safety, quality, labelling and regulatory compliance, and it must be kept available to the competent authorities for 10 years after the last date the product is placed on the market.


What our service includes

Our end-to-end PIF preparation service covers:

  • Safety assessment (CPSR / Cosmetic Product Safety Report) performed by qualified professionals.
  • Ingredient review, INCI lists, potential allergens, and compliance with EU Annex II/III.
  • Labelling and claims verification: we ensure product claims align with current regulations.
  • Technical documentation: stability tests, microbiological tests, compatibility, required certifications.
  • Responsible Person role: if needed, we can assume this legal role on your behalf.
  • CPNP notification (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal), so your product is duly registered with EU authorities.
  • PIF custody, ensuring it is always ready in case of inspection or audit.

Benefits of working with us

  • Guaranteed regulatory compliance, kept up to date with the latest EU laws and guidance.
  • Time and resource savings: we handle technical procedures, admin and complex documentation.
  • Personalised advice: we adapt to your product type, formulation and target market.
