Why the Safety Assessment Report is Mandatory?
Legal background
A valid Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) is a legal requirement for placing any cosmetic product on the EU market. It is part of your Product Information File (PIF) and provides scientific evidence that your product is safe for human health, based on its formulation, toxicological profile, and test results. Beyond compliance, the CPSR reinforces consumer trust, demonstrates your brand’s commitment to safety, and provides a robust foundation in case of future inspections or complaints. It is not only a regulatory obligation, it is a strategic asset that supports safe, responsible product launch and market continuity.
Without a valid CPSR:
- Your product cannot be legally notified on the CPNP or sold in the EU.
- Authorities may block imports, request product withdrawal, or impose fines.
- You risk missing mandatory label warnings or overlooking ingredient restrictions.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR), sometimes also called Safety Assessment Report (SAR), is a mandatory toxicological evaluation for every cosmetic product marketed in the EU. It verifies whether the product is safe for human use under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions by reviewing formulation, ingredient safety, raw material quality, lab test results, potential risks, and labelling precautions.
The SAR is legally required under the EU Cosmetics Regulation to demonstrate your cosmetic product’s safety before it can be sold or notified in the EU. Without a valid SAR, your product cannot be legally placed on the EU market, and authorities may block imports, request recalls, or impose fines. The SAR also helps ensure all necessary label warnings are included, supporting consumer safety and brand credibility.
Obelis acts as your Responsible Person and coordinates the complete safety assessment process. We evaluate your Product Information File (PIF) and collaborate with certified Safety Assessors to conduct the toxicological evaluation. We also review your label for required warnings and manage your product’s notification to the Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP), ensuring full regulatory compliance.
Without a valid CPSR, your cosmetic product cannot be legally marketed or notified in the EU. This can result in market access denial, import blocks, penalties, product recalls, and damage to your brand reputation. The CPSR is essential to maintain compliance and safeguard consumer health.
