These items could be manufactured and imported without a separate business report, but as they are transferred to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, the management system such as business reporting, import inspection standards, and business hygiene education will be strengthened.
Hygiene products are goods that directly or indirectly contact the human body under the Hygiene Products Management Act and require special safety management to secure health and hygiene, including cleaning agents, sanitary towel, disposable tableware, and wet wipes.
Like other hygiene products, businesses that want to manufacture, process, or divide oral care products and door credit dyes for the purpose of selling or using them for sales in Korea must report to the competent local government with facilities and related documents. In addition, even if you want to import oral care products and tattoo dyes from abroad, you must submit documents related to the 「Hygiene Products Import Business」 to the competent local Food and Drug Administration and report your business.
In addition, for pre-safety management of hygiene products, self-quality tests should be conducted at least once every six months for door credit dyes manufactured in Korea and once every 12 months for oral care products.
In addition, imported oral care products are imported without a separate test, or door credit dyes are imported only through document tests, but oral care products and door credit dyes imported in Korea for the first time in the future will be subject to detailed inspection according to the designation of sanitary products. The detailed inspection is conducted according to physical, chemical, and microbiological methods for products imported into Korea, and the expiration date of the detailed inspection of new sanitary products is within five years for oral care products and three years for Moon Shin-yong dye, considering concerns about exposure to chemicals.
In the case of oral care products, they are divided into general use (adult use) and children, and for general use, properties, hair retention, impact tests, and heavy metal elution are examined. In addition to the items applied to general use, for children, heavy metal content, phthalates, and nitrosamines are additionally examined for compliance with standards and standards.
In addition, Moon Shin-yong Dye strengthens safety management by inspecting content-restricted components such as copper and prohibited substances such as nickel (manufacturing standards) and checking whether the contents are sterile to prevent infection by microorganisms.
In addition, new sanitary product manufacturing or import business operators will receive hygiene training at designated educational institutions, and regular hygiene training (3 hours) will be completed every year after the initial training (4 hours) to strengthen their self-responsibility.
