Everything you need to know about FDA certification

The FDA certificate is a guarantee of the safety of the product composition, which means that no component is harmful to humans. Thanks to the FDA, entrepreneurs have the opportunity to work in the US market and in other countries that consider the certificate an indicator of quality.

Today, we're going to talk about the FDA in more detail so that you understand why this certification is so important and how it can affect the scale of your business. In the article you will learn:

  • What are the types of FDA certificate?
  • For which products is it necessary?
  • Why is it important to have one if you work in the US, Canada or Australia?

FDA terminology

USFD - Food Safety and Quality Control Department. This department conducts chemical, technological, microbiological studies to determine the safety of any product (food, tobacco, cosmetics, supplements, equipment, etc.). Also, the FDA (USFD) actively promotes a healthy lifestyle. He is so active that he has already reached the international level, and his activities are followed by the whole world. And due to this, the approval of products by the FDA increases the status, trust, and popularity of the product among buyers.

For example, if you supply cosmetology or medical equipment, each device undergoes FDA certification before purchase. Devices approved for use have the status "approved" or "regulated".

2 types of FDA certificate

The developed product can receive either FDA-approved or FDA-regulated status. What is the difference? The FDA guarantees the safety of the product by all criteria. But if it is cosmetics, cosmetic devices, the "approved" status will be obtained only after the products are launched on the market. Thus, if you bought a toner and had an allergic reaction to it, you need to go to the FDA website and fill out reports. The department collects all appeals from users, and if there are too many negative reports, the product goes into development and goes through a series of studies again.

Which status the product will belong to is determined by American laws. However, some dishonest manufacturers sell medicines in the form of cosmetics and vice versa, which puts buyers at risk. We advise you to choose a product with regulated status. Because this means that it has already been tested and is 100% safe.

  • cosmetics and medicines;
  • food products and products of long-term preservation;
  • any other equipment;
