2017 Taiwan Food and Drug Administration Annual Report

4. Cosmetics management framework

The current cosmetics management system is divided into production source control,
pre-market management, and post-market surveillance (Figure 1-6). Source control
management includes ensuring manufacturers comply with Establishment Standards
for Cosmetics Manufactory and promoting voluntary cosmetic Good Manufacturing
Practice (GMP) for cosmetics. Pre-market management includes registrations of
medicated cosmetics and examination of cosmetic advertisements before broadcasting.
Post-market surveillance focuses on implementing cosmetics quality surveillance

programs, joint audits spanning multiple counties and cities, establishing a product
adverse event reporting system for cosmetics, regular monitoring of domestic and global
cosmetic safety alerts, and strengthening consumer awareness of safe cosmetics use to
create a comprehensive cosmetics quality and safety protection network.
