Escopo e aplicabilidade

GB 5296.3-2008 applies to the sales packaging and labelling of all cosmetics produced, imported, and sold within the People's Republic of China. This standard is mandatory for all domestic and overseas manufacturers targeting the Chinese market. It specifically covers the form, basic principles, and content requirements for cosmetic labels, excluding sample products not intended for sale.

Requisitos técnicos

This standard specifies the mandatory information that must be displayed on cosmetic packaging. Key requirements include the product name, which must reflect its true attributes and be placed on the display panel. It also mandates the clear labeling of the legally registered manufacturer's name and address, or the importer/agent for imported cosmetics. A critical component of this standard is the ingredient list. Ingredients must be listed in descending order of addition, using the INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) Chinese translated names. Manufacturers must declare all ingredients on the visible panel of the sales packaging. Additionally, the standard regulates the declaration of net content, shelf life (via production date and expiration date, or batch number and use-by date), and relevant production license numbers. For special-use cosmetics, the corresponding approval document number must be explicitly stated. The standard also outlines specific formatting rules, such as font size adjustments for small packaging and the use of safety warning statements starting with "Warning:" or "Note:" when necessary.

Métodos de ensaio

While GB 5296.3-2008 does not outline traditional laboratory testing methods, it establishes visual and structural inspection criteria for packaging labels. This involves verifying the presence, accuracy, and legibility of mandatory information on the display panel and visible panels. Compliance is assessed through a documentation and visual label review rather than physical or chemical testing. It also checks the correct formatting of dates, ingredient lists, and net content declarations against referenced metrological regulations.
