Please note that, according to this Decision, all State Registration Certificates issued before May 5, 2020 that used to be valid for life are now valid until May 5, 2023 inclusive. Thus, from this time onwards, State Registration Certificates will be issued for a maximum period of five years.

As for the registration procedure for the declaration of conformity of cosmetic and perfume products in accordance with the requirements of the Technical Regulation CU TR 009/2011, the new amendment allows not to repeat or carry out additional tests in the case of the following changes:

- identification of technical errors in the declaration or its annex;

- change of the legal status, head office address, telephone number and/or e-mail address of the applicant (the legal representative of the manufacturer (seller)). The applicant must inform of any changes in writing;
