Saudi FDA Product Classification Guidance for Public Health Safety

The Saudi FDA (SFDA) provides guidance on product classification to ensure public health safety across sectors like food, drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, and pesticides. Key points include:

Product Classification System (PCS):

• The PCS process involves company sign-up, product classification, appeals, and innovative services for effective regulatory management.
• Cosmetic Products must comply with SFDA.CO/GSO 1943 safety requirements and related circulars.

Cosmetic Product Categories:

• Skin Products: Includes face, eye, lip, hand, foot, body, external intimate care, chemical, mechanical, and skin lightening products.
• Hair & Scalp Products: Encompasses various hair care, scalp care, and cleansing products.
