We are happy to inform you that the Cosmetics Products Notifications Portal was opened on the 11th of January 2012 as initially scheduled by the European Commission.

The CPNP is accessible to Competent Authorities, European Poison Centres and cosmetic products responsible persons and will become accessible to cosmetic products distributors as from 11 July 2013.

ERPA’s third assembly meeting will take place on the 3rd of May in Brussels, Belgium.

All members are invited to the pre-mmeting dinner on the 2nd of May.

The association was created with the main purpose of protecting the safety of the cosmetic products users in Europe by promoting high standards of professionalism of the Responsible Persons. As such, as a first step ERPA aims at creating awareness of the obligations, roles and responsibilities of the Responsible Person as per the European Legislation. Furthermore, we strive to achieve a standard of professionalism and competence that all Responsible Persons may use as a guidance in their profession.

To reach these goals as well as others, ERPA founders have created different types of memberships in the association. This structure permits the association to gather under the same umbrella different players of the industry keeping in the same time focused on its goals and aims in regards to the Responsible Person profession.

The second assembly meeting of ERPA members will take place on the 5^th of December 2011.
