Product Information File (PIF) for cosmetics: what it contains and how to build it
The Product Information File (PIF) is the file the responsible person keeps for every cosmetic product placed on the European Union market. It must be accessible to the authorities for ten years after the last batch is placed on the market. Under Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, it contains five elements: the product description, the safety report, the manufacturing method with a good manufacturing practice statement, the proof of the claimed effects and the animal testing data.
