The product information file is a passport without a code.
Regulation 1223/2009 already asks for a product information file for every cosmetic: the safety assessment, the description, the proof of claims, kept by the responsible person for ten years after the last batch. It is a passport without a QR code.
Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, Art. 11 - 02
Notified before sale, labelled in INCI order.
Before sale, the responsible person notifies the product in the Cosmetic Products Notification Portal: category, formulation frame, contact for poison centres. The label then carries ingredients in INCI order, allergens, period after opening and the batch number.
