RP Obligations: To Outsource or Not to Outsource?
As per the European Union (EU) regulations, any cosmetic product that is to be sold within the EU must have a designated Responsible Person (RP) who is responsible for ensuring that the product complies with all the applicable regulations. The RP must be located within the EU and must possess enough technical knowledge about the product in question. Companies that do not have an EU presence must appoint a third-party RP to fulfil this obligation.
