– Is a buyer or export customer asking for ISO 22716 or GMP certification?
– Are batch records, cleaning records or raw material checks incomplete?
– Want to supply private-label or contract manufacturing for global brands?

Q1. What is ISO 22716?
ISO 22716 is the international standard for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in cosmetics. It sets out how cosmetic products should be produced, controlled, stored and shipped so that every batch is safe and consistent.
Q2. Is ISO 22716 a certification?
ISO 22716 is a guideline standard, but accredited certification bodies audit companies against it and issue ISO 22716 certificates. Most export buyers and global brands ask for this certificate as proof of cosmetic GMP.
Q3. Is ISO 22716 mandatory?
In the EU, cosmetics must be made under GMP, and ISO 22716 is the recognised standard for showing it. In India, the Cosmetics Rules, 2020 require manufacturers to declare that they follow good manufacturing practices. ISO 22716 certification itself is voluntary, but buyers often make it a condition of supply.
Q4. What does ISO 22716 certification cost in India?
The cost depends on plant size, number of products and lines, current GMP status and how much documentation is needed. The certification body’s audit fee is paid separately. Greendot shares a clear quote after a free Cosmetic GMP Gap Check.
Q5. How long does ISO 22716 certification take?
Most cosmetic plants are ready for the certification audit in about 3 to 6 months, depending on the plant’s starting condition and how quickly layout or hygiene changes can be made.
Q6. Can we use the ISO 22716 logo on our products?
No. The ISO logo cannot be used by companies. After certification, you may use the certification body’s mark on letterheads and marketing material according to its rules, but generally not on the product itself.
Q7. Do you provide ISO 22716 consulting in Gujarat, Daman and Maharashtra?
Yes. Greendot works from offices in Valsad, Surat and Vadodara, serving cosmetic manufacturers in Daman, Silvassa, Vapi, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Thane, Pune and across India.
