Cosmetics for Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Prepare separate documentation for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, with SCPN and CPNP preparation and traceable evidence.

Cosmetic products between two separate document folders on a light work surface

One product basis. Two distinct market routes.

Use the same formula as a starting point, then maintain Great Britain and Northern Ireland with their own responsibilities, documentation and notification routes.

Shared starting point: your cosmetic product

Reuse the formula version, product application and raw material evidence. Each market route retains its own responsibilities and documentation.

Great Britain

  1. Assign the UK Responsible Person

    Connect responsibility, mandate, contact and PIF address with specific evidence.

  2. Prepare English GB documentation

    Keep the product and safety file, GB label version and SCPN information together with their sources and original records.

  3. Notify externally through SCPN

    Submit the actual notification using the official service. Afterwards, document the reference, enquiries and original evidence.

Northern Ireland

  1. Assign the NI/EEA Responsible Person

    Record the responsible person and their role in the NI context with the appropriate evidence.

  2. Prepare NI documentation in the EU context

    Maintain PIF/CPSR documentation, the NI label version and CPNP information separately. Document versions are available in EN and DE.

  3. Notify externally through CPNP

    Use the EU notification route for NI. Keep actual references and original records linked to the NI product version.

An illustrative documentation workflow. Qualified safety assessment, signing and actual authority submission are separate steps.

From product data to the right market documentation

  1. Select GB and Northern Ireland separately

    Link product application, formula version and evidence to each market profile. Keep sources, names and outstanding information with the appropriate market version.

  2. Record the responsible person and their role

    Maintain the UK Responsible Person for GB and a Responsible Person based in Northern Ireland or the EEA for NI. Keep the mandate, contact and PIF address with their supporting evidence.

  3. Prepare the file and label version

    Connect product and safety documentation with each label version and original records. New GB documentation is in English; NI documentation is available in English and German.

  4. Link notification information and actual evidence

    Prepare SCPN information for GB and CPNP information for NI. After external submission, document the actual references, enquiries and original evidence.

Keep market documentation connected

A product and safety file for each market

Keep the formula, application, safety preparation and linked obligation versions connected to the appropriate GB or NI version.

Organise SCPN and CPNP preparation

Named product, RP, import, safety and notification information makes preparation traceable. Sources and outstanding fields remain visible.

Connect labels and artwork evidence

Link GB and NI label versions to your documentation. Shared packaging retains independent market results and its specific artwork evidence.

Find saved versions and original records

Use the available document downloads with source and original-record references. Historical versions remain accessible without alteration.

Understand documentation, assessment and notification

INCIkit organises available GB and NI documentation with source versions, original records and outstanding tasks. GB and NI retain their own legal and document context. Assessment and signing by qualified safety professionals remain separate steps.

Notification takes place outside INCIkit: SCPN for GB and the EU/CPNP route for NI. Afterwards, document actual submissions and references. A saved version or download does not confirm authority notification or market clearance.

Editing and preparation depend on active access, team role and usage limits. Available PDF/ZIP output depends on document type, plan and export limit. Source gaps and outstanding professional requirements remain identifiable.

Questions about GB/NI files and SCPN preparation

How does INCIkit support SCPN preparation for Great Britain?

Prepare product information, the UK Responsible Person, import and safety information in the GB context. Notification documentation uses the linked obligation version and its original evidence. New GB documentation is created in English. Submit the actual notification through the official SCPN service outside INCIkit.

Which notification route applies to Northern Ireland?

Northern Ireland is maintained as a separate market with an EU-based document context. Prepare PIF/CPSR documentation and CPNP information for NI. Record the responsible person and evidence separately; notification takes place externally through CPNP.

How are responsible persons distinguished?

Maintain a UK Responsible Person for GB and a Responsible Person based in Northern Ireland or the EEA for NI. Keep the mandate, contact, responsibility and PIF address linked to each version. A saved company contact alone does not replace an evidenced RP assignment.

Can I prepare shared packaging for GB and NI?

Yes. Work with label versions and specific artwork evidence together while retaining independent results for both markets. Different ingredient lists and outstanding information remain visible. Shared content requires appropriate information and evidence for both markets.

What do saved documents and notification references establish?

They record a specific product, source and working version. Link actual submissions, enquiries and references to their original records. A completed download does not replace authority submission, qualified safety assessment or market clearance.

Which plan do I need for GB/NI documentation?

Editing and preparation require active access, the appropriate team role and available usage limits. File output also depends on document type, plan and export limit. The pricing page explains preparation and available output separately.
