As a trusted partner of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Cotecna is approved to support the SFDA Cosmetics programme and perform a conformity assessment of Cosmetic products.
Our role is to assess and verify the compliance of cosmetic products that will be exported to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in accordance with all regulations, rules and specifications approved by SFDA.
The Conformity Assessment Programme for cosmetics aims to protect businesses from fraud and ensure that products are free from defects that may affect the health and safety of consumers.
The products covered by the Technical Regulations are referred to as Regulated Products. Hereafter is an extract of regulated products subject to the Saudi Product Safety Programme:
To assess the conformity of a shipment, the verification of conformity process will follow one of two levels of compliance, named “routes”. The choice of the route depends on the profile of the exporter. These are:
Route A - for exporters with infrequent shipments (Non registered products)
It involves pre-shipment inspection and pre-shipment testing of products. Physical inspection can be carried out to verify the labelling/markage, storage and other visual verification.
Route B - for regular exporters with homogenous products (Registered products)
This process involves product testing for compliance and the statement of Product Registration is valid for a year.
Presently, only importers can initiate the certification of cosmetic products. To raise a certification request, importers must raise a request on the FASEH platform. Importers can login to FASEH using their eCosma username and password.
