How we work

How we work: we organize filing, testing is done with partner labs

Jinshang Testing is a cosmetics compliance organizer. We judge the path, prepare the dossier, coordinate testing, and follow the official submission. We are not a CMA/CNAS laboratory of our own. Tests are performed by partner laboratories, and those laboratories issue the corresponding reports.

01

Path review

We look at the formula, intended use, claims, place of manufacture and sales channel to judge filing versus registration, and import versus local production.

02

Dossier plan

We list what the brand, the factory and the Domestic Responsible Person each need to provide, including overseas documents where they apply.

03

Testing plan

Needed tests are arranged with a partner laboratory. The laboratory issues the report for the work it performs.

04

Submission

Materials are compiled for the cosmetics registration and filing information service platform, including labels, standards and safety-assessment documents.

05

Follow-up

If the authority asks for supplementary materials, we help sort the comments and revise the file. After listing, we remind you of consistency and annual-report duties.

What this means in practice

Clients sometimes expect one company to “test and approve” a product for China. That is not how the system works, and it is not how we work. NMPA filing or registration is an official procedure. Laboratory reports are evidence inside that procedure. Our role is to organize the two so they stay consistent.

When we mention timelines, we keep testing time and review time separate for special cosmetics. The only 10–20 day figure we use is for ordinary cosmetics filing, where testing and filing proceed in parallel; actual time depends on dossier completeness and any supplementary requests. We never apply that figure to sunscreen, whitening or other special cosmetics.
