The Purpose of the Multilateral Framework on the ICCR: The purpose
of the multilateral framework on the ICCR is to pave the way for the
removal of regulatory obstacles to international trade while
maintaining global consumer protection.
ICCR is a voluntary international group of cosmetics regulatory
authorities from Brazil, Canada, the European Union, Japan, and the
United States of America. These regulatory authority members will enter
into constructive dialogue with their relevant cosmetics industry trade
associations and public advocacy groups. Currently, the ICCR members
are: The Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency; Health Canada; the
European Commission Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry,
Entrepreneurship, and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises; the Ministry
of Health, Labor, and Welfare of Japan; and FDA. All decisions made by
consensus will be compatible with the laws, policies, rules,
regulations, and directives of the respective administrations and
governments. Members will implement and/or promote actions or documents
within their own jurisdictions and seek convergence of regulatory
policies and practices. Successful implementation will need input from
stakeholders.
Agenda: We will make the agenda for the public meeting available on
the Internet at http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/InternationalActivities/ICCR/default.htm. Depending on the number of requests for oral
presentations, we intend to have an agenda available by June 8, 2016.
We may use the information that you provide to us during the public
meeting to help us prepare for the July 12-14, 2016, ICCR-10 meeting.
Dated: April 13, 2016.
Leslie Kux,
Associate Commissioner for Policy.
