By decision of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission dated November 29, 2024 No. 114, amendments were made to the technical regulations of the Customs Union "On the safety of perfumery and cosmetic products".
According to the updated regulations, “it is not allowed to use a name in the name of perfumery and cosmetic products assigned by the manufacturer that is the same or similar to the point of confusion with the trade name of a registered medicinal product or the name of a medical device. The criterion of similarity is a semantic (meaningful), phonetic (sound) or transliteration (associated with the use of a different alphabet to convey the name) feature that determines the similarity of the invented names. At the same time, the name (title) of perfumery and cosmetic products may include information about the ingredients included in the product, including biologically active substances (hand cream with vitamin F, after-sun cream with d-panthenol, face cream with hyaluronic acid, etc.).”
