GMP EFFCL certificate, apart from economic aspects, is one of the most important criteria of classifying suppliers of cosmetic and pharmaceutical resources. Keeping standards in the scope of good production practices is not an easy process on account of restrictive requirements of the norm prepared by the European Federation for Cosmetic Components. However, the third audit conducted in PCC EXOL S.A. in 2017 confirmed high standards implemented in the Company’s installations.
