Webinar Series: Cosmetics Supervision & Administration Regulation (CSAR)

July 13 - Sept. 15, 2022

Join PCPC and John Balzano, partner, Covington & Burling, for a new, three-part webinar series on the Chinese Government cosmetics reform law – Cosmetics Supervision and Administration Regulation (CSAR). 

CSAR, the Chinese Government cosmetics reform law, went into effect on Jan. 1, 2021. Since then, China has issued more than a dozen finalized CSAR secondary regulations and is working towards fully implementing the new law by 2023. CSAR significantly revises China’s cosmetics regulations, streamlining pre-market registration requirements in favor of an approach focused on registrants’ and filers’ responsibility and post-market enforcement.

  • Webinar 1: Overview and Q&A of CSAR’s critical elements, such as product and ingredient registration, animal testing exemption, labeling requirements, and implementation timeline of finalized regulations (June 30)
  • Webinar 2: China’s Good Manufacturing Practices Standard requirements and the potential implications for overseas manufacturers (July 28)
  • Webinar 3: CSAR Adverse Reaction Monitoring Rule and the new children’s cosmetic products regulatory regime (September 15)

The price for PCPC members is $745 and $1145 for nonmembers. Can’t make it to the webinars? Sign up anyway! Recordings will be sent to all registrants. For questions on registration, contact Shirley Gibbs.
