Product Information File for Fragrances (Single Variant)
Regulatory Documentation Prepared in Accordance with UK and EU Cosmetic Laws
Completing a Product Information File (PIF) is required legally before a fragrance or perfume can be sold. This is in accordance with UK Cosmetic Regulation 2020 (SI 2020/1466) and EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. The PIF ensures that the product is traceable to a Responsible Person and legally compliant to the regulations. It also demonstrates the product's safety. PIFs are prepared by Phoenix Safety Consultants PIFs for single fragrance formulations. This is in compliance with Article 11 as well as ensuring safety data, formulation information, labelling information, and toxicological data are complete before a product can be placed on the market.
What’s Included in the Single-Variant Fragrance PIF
Every PIF created by Phoenix Safety Consultants includes all legally required elements necessary for inspections and by the Responsible Person. The format of all files meets the Article 11 requirements, including:
- Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR): Annex I-compliant document containing Part A (safety information) and Part B (expert toxicological assessment).
- Formulation and Ingredient Data: Complete INCI composition with concentration levels, CAS and EC numbers, purity criteria, and IFRA category.
- Safety Data Sheets (SDS): Confirmed supplier SDS documentation for all raw materials.
- Label and Claim Review: Verified compliance for labelling, allergen declarations, and claims substantiation according to UK/EU cosmetic and consumer protection law.
- Testing and Stability Records: Where relevant, documentation confirming the product's stability, compatibility with packaging, and microbial safety.
All records compiled for regulatory inspection and Responsible Person recordkeeping maintained a structured digital format.
Legal and Regulatory Framework
Phoenix Safety Consultants ensures each PIF for every fragrance respects the frameworks mentioned below:
- Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009: Outlines the format, content, and time retention specifications for the Product Information Files.
