In the cosmetics industry, quality cannot be based on declarations alone. It must be demonstrated through well-controlled processes, regular independent audits, and compliance with internationally recognised standards.
We are proud to announce that MG Evolution has once again successfully completed the ISO 22716 (GMP) surveillance audit, conducted by TÜV SÜD Polska. The audit concluded with a recommendation to maintain our certification and update its scope, with no non-conformities identified.
At the same time, we expanded our ISO 22716 certification scope to include the manufacturing of depilatory products, creating new opportunities for brands looking to broaden their product offering.
What Is ISO 22716 (GMP)?
ISO 22716 is the internationally recognised standard for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) in the cosmetics industry. It provides comprehensive guidelines for every stage of cosmetic manufacturing, including personnel, production, quality control, raw material management, documentation, storage, traceability, and product release.
Its purpose is to ensure that cosmetic products are consistently manufactured under controlled conditions while meeting regulatory and quality requirements.
Why Are Surveillance Audits Important?
Achieving ISO 22716 certification is only the beginning. Maintaining certification requires regular surveillance audits carried out by an independent certification body to verify that the Quality Management System continues to operate effectively.
During the audit, key aspects of manufacturing are assessed, including production processes, quality control, laboratory operations, documentation, traceability, hygiene, and compliance with GMP requirements.
A successful audit confirms that these procedures are not only documented but consistently implemented in day-to-day operations.
What Does This Mean for Our Partners?
For cosmetic brands, a successfully completed surveillance audit provides confidence that they are working with a manufacturer whose processes are independently verified and continuously monitored.
In practice, this means:
- manufacturing in accordance with ISO 22716 (GMP),
- controlled and repeatable production processes,
- full product traceability,
- high standards of quality and safety,
- regulatory compliance throughout the manufacturing process,
- expert support from concept and formulation to manufacturing and documentation.
Expanded Certification Scope
This year’s surveillance audit also resulted in an important milestone for MG Evolution.
Our ISO 22716 certification scope has been expanded to include the manufacturing of depilatory products. This strengthens our manufacturing capabilities and enables us to support partners looking to introduce new products within this growing category while maintaining the same high standards of quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Quality Is Our Daily Standard
At MG Evolution, we believe that quality is not a one-time achievement. It is the result of well-designed processes, continuous improvement, regular independent verification, and the commitment of our entire team.
From product concept and formulation through testing, regulatory documentation, manufacturing, filling, and final product release, every stage of our work is carried out in accordance with ISO 22716 (GMP) requirements.
That is why brands working with MG Evolution gain more than a contract manufacturer. They gain a long-term partner committed to delivering cosmetic products that meet the highest international quality standards.
