BPOM Set to Revise Quality Control Framework for Cosmetics Materials as Part of the Applicable Technical Requirements, Including Laboratory Testing

The National Agency of Drug and Food Control (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan – “BPOM”) is currently preparing a new draft regulation (“Draft Regulation”) on Technical Requirements for Cosmetic Materials (“Requirements”), which, when it ultimately comes into force, will repeal and replace the existing legal framework on Requirements, as set out under Regulation of BPOM  No. 23 of 2019 (which bears same title as the Draft Regulation), as amended by Regulation of BPOM No. 17 of 2022 (collectively referred to as “Regulation 23/2019”).[1]
