CPNP & EU RP

📌 Cosmetic Import & EOF: What Applies in Greece

To legally import and distribute a cosmetic product in the Greek market, the following must be ensured:

  • The product is registered in the CPNP.

  • There is a designated EU Responsible Person (EU RP).

  • The Hellenic Medicines Authority (EOF) is notified of the product import (applies only to products imported from outside the EU).

  • The product label is in Greek and complies with EU regulations.

✅ What is CPNP and why is it necessary?

The CPNP (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal) is the official European system for registering cosmetic products.
It is a mandatory EU platform through which all cosmetics placed on the market in member states must be notified.

🔍 How does the CPNP work?

Before any cosmetic product can be sold in the EU:

  • It must be registered in the CPNP by a responsible entity.

  • Registration includes details such as product composition, packaging, labeling, and contact information.

  • The data is accessible to the relevant Health and Public Safety authorities of each country, allowing immediate action in case of adverse events or safety concerns.

🛡️ Why is the CPNP important?

  • Legal circulation: Products cannot be sold in the EU without CPNP registration.

  • Safety & transparency: Ensures the product meets all EU safety standards.

  • Professionalism: Builds trust with both end customers and professional sellers.

👤 What is the "EU Responsible Person" (EU RP)?

The EU Responsible Person is a natural or legal entity within the EU officially responsible for the marketing and safety of a cosmetic product in the European market.

🔎 Role of the EU RP:

  • Ensures the product is properly checked and registered in the CPNP.

  • Maintains the Product Information File (PIF) with all required details.

  • Handles queries or inspections from regulatory authorities.

  • Is clearly indicated on the product packaging according to EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009/EC.
