It will focus on strengthening the provisions for safety monitoring period for new raw materials that have been registered or filed. The registrant and filer of new raw materials shall submit annual reports on the use and safety status of new raw materials to the adverse reaction monitoring department and the technical review department every year during the period of safety monitoring.

It is clear that the use of new raw materials in safety monitoring requires the consent of the registrant and filer of the new raw materials to protect the enthusiasm of new raw materials R&D enterprises. In the Measures, if the raw materials to be used in the production of cosmetics exceed the use purpose of use and the limit level of the used raw materials, it shall apply for the registration or filing of new raw materials. If safety differences are not involved, the safety monitoring period of the new raw material will not be set.
