GLOBAL COSMETIC PRODUCT SAFETY ASSESSMENT TRAINING

The Course Concept at a Glance: The training program will enable participants to perform Safety Assessments (SAs) for cosmetic products, which are formulated, manufactured and marketed on a worldwide scale.

The scientific and regulatory concept is based on the European Regulation N° 1223/2009 on Cosmetic Products and the related guidance publications, while also support for application under other regulatory frameworks is part of the curriculum.

Lecturers from the RWTH Aachen University will provide a profound science background, while international CCE experts will contribute experiences from their hands-on daily practise of performing SAs and seeking regulatory compliance.

Target Groups

Experienced Safety Assessors (SAs) and beginners in the field

Department Staff from: R&D, Regulatory Affairs, QA/QC, Testing, Formulation

Responsible Persons (RPs) under the context of the Cosmetics Product Regulation

Members of the Cosmetics, Chemicals/Raw Materials, Pharmaceutical, Packaging, Fragrance Industries

Members of Regulatory Authorities

All graduates in Toxicology, Chemistry, Biology, Pharmacology, Life Sciences, Product Technology with interest in continuing education and specialization

Course Structure and Costs

Fee Structure: €1,400.00 per module

Booking Options: A complete course as starting in May 2021 or modules on their own

Course Concept: The Modules are interlinked but not strictly consecutive – any module provides a benefit on its own

Tutorial: On-line self learning phases are carried out before the full Attendance Day

Flexible Learning: Due to the course structure participation is easily manageable while working on the job

Attendance Days: All day is fully ONLINE and Covid-safe

Exams: Each online-seminar is supervised by written tasks; any Attendance Day is ended with a written exam

Achievements: A certificate of attendance of the RWTH International Academy is issued upon termination of each module. The successful completion of a full course will be certified by Cosmetics Consultants Europe. Subsequently, a cosmetic product safety assessment can be performed. Provided the pre-condition of an available ‘diploma or other evidence of formal qualifications’ is fulfilled [acc. to Reg. (EC) 1223/2009, Art. 10 (2)], it can be signed as Safety Assessor under the EU’s regulatory scheme.

FAQs

With Brexit a ‘done deal’, can I use the course for cosmetics assessment under UK law?

The course is teaching how to perform a science-based risk assessment on cosmetics and their ingredients. This approach is applicable independently from a regulatory scheme. The EU’s framework is chosen as base structure because in its legal text the assessment is laid down in detail in regard to necessary requirements and the assessment steps are supported by comprehensive guidance publications. Wherever decisions are based on specific legal requirements these are depicted during the course and can be translated from this description into other worldwide regulatory frameworks.

What qualification do I need to have to take the module(s)?

Cosmetics safety assessment is a complex exercise involving interdisciplinary scientific approaches in the fields of toxicology, chemistry, pharmacology, biology/life sciences, as well as product and packaging technology and regulatory affairs. All areas will be addressed during the training program, and it will also stimulate and demand to be complemented by the active engagement of the participants. The experience shows that the participants come with various backgrounds; therefore, everybody has strength and weaknesses and these need to be balanced in the self learning phases.

Do I need an academic degree for attending the course?

The course can be attended and successfully completed without owning an academic degree, as it was observed in practice; yet, based on the existing strong engagement of the participant. However, under the EU’s cosmetic regulation it is required to possess a ‘diploma or other evidence of formal qualifications’ [Reg. (EC) 1223/2009, Art. 10 (2)], in order to legally sign on as Safety Assessor.

How much time is required to complete the course successfully?

Solid data on intrinsic properties of product ingredients are required, as well as on the potential occurrence of harmful contaminants and microbiological burden. This data and further information on the properties and effects of substances and formulations serve as the basis for exposure and risk assessments. The demand on knowledge and skills of product safety assessors is enormous and is constantly growing based on new scientific and regulatory results. Therefore, the learning is ongoing and the course is giving the start to the continuous learning approach.
