What is a Product Information File (PIF) for cosmetics?
A PIF is the technical dossier the Responsible Person must keep for every cosmetic under Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and its GB equivalent. It holds the product description, CPSR, manufacturing and GMP details, claim evidence and animal-testing data.
Do I need a PIF to sell cosmetics in the UK or EU?
Yes. Every cosmetic placed on the GB or EU market needs a PIF before it goes on sale, whatever the batch size or sales channel. Enforcement authorities can ask to see it at any time.
How long must a cosmetic PIF be kept?
For 10 years after the last batch of the product is placed on the market. In Great Britain it must be in English and kept at the address notified through SCPN.
Is the CPSR part of the PIF?
Yes. The CPSR is a legally required section of every PIF. We file and cross-check your signed CPSR; if you do not have one yet, our single-product CPSR service provides it.
How much does a cosmetic PIF cost?
From £75 for one product at Standard (72 Hours) delivery. Multi-product orders cost less per file: 10 products cost £570 at Standard, £820 at Fast or £1,070 at Priority.
How long does it take to prepare a PIF?
72 hours on Standard, 48 hours on Fast or 24 hours on Priority delivery, counted from when we receive your complete documents.
Can one PIF cover several shades of the same product?
Not on this page, which gives each product its own PIF. Shades or scents built on one base formula belong in our PIF for product variants, which costs less than separate files.
What do you need from me to prepare a PIF?
Your full formula with INCI percentages, your CPSR, raw-material SDS, label artwork, claim evidence and any test reports you hold, such as stability, microbiology or challenge testing.
