What is most important to know about CU TR 009/2011?

CU TR 009/2011 is the technical regulation that sets safety requirements for all cosmetic products in the EAEU. There are two certification schemes: the EAC Declaration of Conformity and the Certificate of State Registration (SGR). In both cases, testing in accredited EAEU laboratories is mandatory before placing the product on the market.

Which products require a Certificate of State Registration (SGR)?

There are 13 categories of cosmetic products subject to SGR:

  1. Perfumes and cosmetic products for artificial tanning
  2. Skin whitening products
  3. Cosmetics for tattooing
  4. Intimate cosmetics
  5. Products for individual protection against harmful production factors
  6. Cosmetics for children
  7. Hair dyes, lightening and highlighting products
  8. Products for perming and straightening hair
  9. Cosmetics made with nanomaterials
  10. Depilation products
  11. Chemical peels
  12. Oral hygiene products containing fluoride
  13. Dentifrices with peroxide-releasing ingredients
Did you know it?

Although the certification process is completely different, CU TR 009/2011 is similar to EU Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 in terms of safety and ingredient rules. However, as there is no automatic update mechanism, when a new allergen is identified in the EU it may take several years before the restriction is actually enforced in the EAEU.

What information must appear on the label?

The required labelling elements according to CUTR 009/2011 are as follow:

  • Trade name of the product
  • Product description (if not derived from the trade name)
  • Name and location of the manufacturer (legal address, including country)
  • Country of origin (if different from the manufacturer’s address)
  • Name and location of the organization authorized for customer complaints (a representative or importer)
  • Nominal quantity (volume/weight), except for small packages under 5 g/ml
  • Mass fraction of fluoride for oral hygiene products containing fluoride compounds
  • Expiry date
  • Production date and shelf life or “best before (month, year)”
  • Storage conditions (if non-standard)
  • Special precautions, if applicable
  • Batch number or individual code for traceability
  • Usage instructions for perfumes/cosmetics, to avoid misuse
  • List of ingredients, as required by paragraph 9.3 of the Regulations

In the EAEU, the Applicant is the equivalent of the ‘Responsible Person’ in the EU, UK, USA and other jurisdictions. They are not required to compile Product Information Files (since the EAC system relies on mandatory testing), but they still carry very similar legal responsibilities.
