In this episode of Exploring Standards, host Jess is joined by Robert Low, founder and lead developer of ApexGlobal Quality, to explore ISO 22716, the international standard for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in the cosmetics industry. With 16 years of experience in personal care and household sectors and credentials as a lead auditor in ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22716, and BRCGS CP, Rob brings deep industry insight and practical knowledge to the conversation.
Rob provides a clear overview of ISO 22716, explaining how it supports product safety, quality, and regulatory compliance. He breaks down the key benefits of implementing the standard, the difference between ISO 22716 and traditional GMP, and the types of companies and supply chains that commonly require certification.
We also address the question of relevance. ISO 22716 hasn’t been updated since 2007. Rob shares his perspective on how the standard holds up in today’s market and explains why he developed his own, more current standard to better meet the evolving needs of the industry.
Whether you’re a cosmetics manufacturer, part of the supply chain, or simply curious about international quality standards, this episode offers expert guidance and practical takeaways.
