NSF/ANSI 305 to allow ingredients certified to EU organic regulations

Published: 30-Sep-2011

Responds to the globalisation of the cosmetic supply chain


NSF International has expanded its American National Standard for Personal Care Products Containing Organic Ingredients (NSF/ANSI 305) to allow ingredients certified to European Union organic regulations. Companies formulating personal care products complying with the NSF/ANSI 305 standard are now able to source from both NOP-certified ingredients and EU-certified ingredients suppliers.

“NSF/ANSI 305 opens up new growth opportunities for personal care companies whose products contain organic ingredients and speaks to the globalisation of the cosmetic supply chain,” said Jane Wilson, NSF International’s standards director. “Allowing equivalent EU-certified ingredients will harmonise NSF/ANSI 305 with global organic production without any loss of organic integrity.”

According to the organisation, NSF/ANSI 305 is the only consensus-based standard for personal care product containing organic ingredients.
