Overview
In January 2024, the US FDA announced the availability of SPL Xforms, a structured product label (SPL) authoring tool intended for the registration of cosmetic product facilities and the listing of cosmetic products, as required by the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA).
Introduction
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published the availability of additional submission tools for cosmetic product facility registration and cosmetic product listing using the Xforms system, which is an option for creating an SPL file that includes cosmetic product facility registration and cosmetic product listing information. In addition, the FDA is accepting cosmetic product facility registrations and cosmetic product listings via electronic submission.
FDA also announced the availability of Form FDA 5066 and Form FDA 5067 as an additional submission tool for providing cosmetic product facility registration and cosmetic product listing information to FDA. These paper forms are available at Registration & Listing of Cosmetic Product Facilities and Products.
The electronic submission options:
- Cosmetics Direct, an FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) authoring tool and electronic submission portal at https://direct.fda.gov/
- SPL-formatted submissions through the Electronic Submissions Gateway (ESG).
- Completed paper forms can be mailed to FDA’s Registration and Listing of Cosmetic Product Facilities and Products Program.
