TR CU 009/2011: perfumery and cosmetics
Cosmetics for the EAEU. A declaration per product type, state registration for the listed categories, and the fifteen items every label has to carry.
TR CU 009/2011 covers perfumery and cosmetics for the Union under two regimes. A product without pharmaceutical effect is declared: one declaration per product type, valid for one, three or five years, resting on test reports. The listed categories add hygienic approval, a state registration certificate of unlimited validity issued by the health authority of a member state, and the list is driven by the claim on the pack. Skin lightening, tanning, depilation, peeling, hair dye, oral hygiene, intimate hygiene, children’s cosmetics and protection against harmful factors all put a product on it. The same formula gets a second procedure because one sentence on the carton moved it into a listed category.
The applicant must be inside the Union, so a foreign brand works through an authorised representative who appears on the label. How many test reports the project needs follows from the number of distinct formulations, so every body asks first for the composition with percentages, and that round trip to the manufacturer is measured in weeks. A formula cleared in Europe is not cleared here: it is checked against the Union’s lists of prohibited, restricted and permitted substances.
Labelling belongs on the critical path. The label carries fifteen items, including the representative, colour for decorative products and fluoride content for oral hygiene, in Russian before import. Below 5 g or 5 ml only the nominal quantity may be omitted, which makes samples and travel sizes awkward. The articles below cover the two regimes, the label, the webinar notes and state registration. Send the ingredient list and the claims and we will say which regime each product falls under.

Frequently asked questions
When does a cosmetic need state registration instead of a declaration?
When the claim puts it on the list: artificial tanning, skin lightening, tattooing, intimate hygiene, depilation, peeling, protection against harmful factors, children’s cosmetics, hair dyes and oral hygiene products. The registration is unlimited in validity, covers one product type with one composition, and must name every production site.
Can one declaration cover our whole range?
One declaration covers one product type, so a range with several types needs several declarations, each valid up to five years. The number of test reports follows the number of formulations. SKUs do not add reports, so formulations are where the cost is decided.
