Analytical Testing — The Evidence Behind Your Compliance Claims

A CPSR without adequate testing data is not a CPSR. It is a document waiting to be challenged. Testing is the scientific foundation your entire compliance position rests on.

Relevant testing data is incomplete or not aligned with the product, this can affect the ability of a qualified assessor to complete or support a CPSR, and may create gaps in the Product Information File (PIF). Regulatory authorities may request this documentation as part of compliance checks.

Similarly, for nicotine products, submissions supported by insufficient or inconsistent data may lead to regulatory queries, delays, or challenges during review. Testing is therefore a key component of a robust compliance position.

Many brands require support in determining appropriate testing requirements, selecting qualified laboratories, and ensuring results are suitable for inclusion in regulatory documentation. This is a critical step in aligning product data with compliance expectations.

Testing We Coordinate

Novel Nicotine

Cosmetics

Microbiological testing
Preservative efficacy (challenge) testing
Stability and compatibility testing
Heavy metals analysis
Other product-specific testing required to support the Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR)

For the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and wider GCC markets, testing is coordinated in line with applicable cosmetic standards and product-specific requirements, supporting product registration and conformity documentation where required.

How It Works

We identify the testing required based on your product type and target markets. We then select appropriate accredited laboratories from our network. We coordinate sample submission, monitor progress, and ensure results are delivered in a format suitable for inclusion in your CPSR, Product Information File (PIF), and regulatory submissions.

Where results indicate a potential compliance issue, we provide guidance on next steps, including reformulation, additional testing, or documentation updates where necessary.
