Hygiene products

Proposed amendments to the "Enforcement Rules of the Cleansing and Hygiene Products Control Act"; (20 page(s), in Korean)

The Proposed amendments to the "Enforcement Rules of the Cleansing and Hygiene Products Control Act" are as follows:

A. to prescribe requirements for recognition of hygiene products (including the requirement to submit a special reagent for raw materials or testing necessary for temporary recognition of criteria·standards) and to authorize the Minister of MFDS to set and notify other detailed review criteria if necessary;

B. to add new criteria for "natural" or "non-addition" in the category of false exaggerated·slandering label or advertisement.

- the label or advertisement likely to mislead the public into believing that the whole product is natural although it is made with chemical synthetics.

- the label or advertisement of "none," "non-addition" or "0%," meaning that any raw material·ingredient·standard prohibited by criteria·standards is not contained or used.
