The Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association of Singapore (CTFAS), was founded in October 1991. It is modeled after the CTFA of the United States. Since then, CTFAS, with its sister organizations in Asia, has participated in joint programs with various regulatory authorities in several countries on the harmonization of cosmetic regulations. The ASEAN Cosmetic Directive, modeled on the EU directive, with Asian characteristics, will be implemented from 1st January 2008 affecting labelling, GMP, product information file, claims, notification and post-market surveillance.
