Complete Guide to Cosmetic Notification for Perfume Products in Indonesia
Perfume products are categorized as cosmetics in Indonesia, which means they must comply with safety standards and regulatory requirements before being distributed in the market. Therefore, perfumes must obtain BPOM cosmetic notification before they can be legally sold.
Product regulation and supervision in Indonesia are managed by Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan Republik Indonesia which ensures that cosmetics distributed to consumers meet safety, quality, and labeling requirements.
What is BPOM Cosmetic Notification
Unlike food products that use MD or ML registration numbers, cosmetic products such as perfumes use the cosmetic notification system with the NA number. This number indicates that the cosmetic product has been registered and complies with Indonesian cosmetic safety regulations.
Cosmetic notification is required for products such as:
-
Perfume and eau de parfum
-
Body mist and body spray
-
Cologne
-
Other fragrance-based cosmetic products
Without an NA number, perfume products cannot be legally distributed in Indonesia.
Legal Framework for Cosmetic Regulation
The cosmetic regulatory system in Indonesia is based on several legal frameworks.
-
Law No. 36 of 2009 concerning Health
-
BPOM Regulations on Cosmetic Notification
-
BPOM Regulations on Cosmetic Ingredient Safety
-
ASEAN Cosmetic Directive adopted by Indonesia
These regulations ensure that cosmetic products are safe for consumers and free from prohibited substances.
