BPOM Updates Provisions on Product Information Documents

In order to ensure adequate safety and quality standards for all cosmetics products that are distributed within Indonesia, the National Agency of Drug and Food Control (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan – “BPOM”) recently issued Regulation No. 17 of 2023 on Guidelines for Product Information Documents (“Regulation 17/2023”), which updates provisions that address requirements for Cosmetic Product Information Documents (Dokumen Informasi Produk – “DIP”). Previously, these same matters were specifically addressed under Regulation of the BPOM No. 14 of 2017[1], which was repealed and replaced by Regulation 17/2023 on the date of its promulgation, i.e. 2 August 2023.[2]
