Yes. Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a Responsible Person established in the EU for every cosmetic product placed on the EU market. If your company is outside the EU, you can appoint an EU-based Responsible Person by written mandate. ### Is the EU Responsible Person also valid for the UK? No. Since Brexit, Great Britain has its own cosmetics rules. Products sold in Great Britain need a Responsible Person established in the UK and a notification on the SCPN portal. Northern Ireland follows the EU rules. ### What is the difference between CPNP and SCPN? CPNP is the EU's Cosmetic Products Notification Portal. SCPN is the UK service for submitting cosmetic product notifications. A product sold in both markets needs both notifications. ### What does the US Agent do under MoCRA? A foreign facility that registers with the FDA under MoCRA must name a US Agent. The US Agent is the FDA's contact in the United States for that facility. ### Do you prepare the safety report (CPSR)? Yes. We prepare the Cosmetic Product Safety Report together with a qualified safety assessor, based on your formula, raw-material data and test results, and include it in your Product Information File. ### Which documents do I need to start? Usually the full formula with INCI names and percentages, raw-material specifications and SDS, the label artwork, and any test reports you already have. We send you a checklist after the first review. ## Q&A [Questions and answers on cosmetic and chemical compliance](https://responsibleperson.eu/questions/index.md) --- ## Our offices - **Budapest** — Kompass Europe Holding Kft.
