Draft Resolution RDC n. 366, 13 July 2017 (4 page(s), in Portuguese)

This Draft Resolution provides for amendment and inclusion of labelling for personal hygiene products, cosmetics and perfumes, and establishes the rules for coexistence of more than one final art (label) for the same product.

The coexistence of more than one final approved labelling art is permitted in a single product registration or registration-free product notification, provided that the requirements of this Resolution are met. All final arts (labels) that the company intends to market must be in the product registration petition or registration-free product notification.

The labelling elements that may differ in more than one final art for the same product or which may be changed with immediate implementation are:

I - colours;

II - figures and images that do not have technical purpose, suggestion of way of use or suggestion of properties of the product;

III - references to commemorative dates;

IV - other names that do not change the name of the product;

V - promotional statements;

VI - manufacturer information and the technical responsible; and

VII - final arts that specifically meet the programs of the Ministry of Health.

This draft resolution also establishes other provisions about procedures regarding labelling changes for cosmetics, perfumes and personal hygiene products.

This Resolution revokes the Resolution RDC nº 131, 5 December 2016.
