ISLAMABAD, May 22 (APP):Federal Minister for Science and Technology, Khalid Hussain Magsi, has announced the introduction of an integrated and simplified “one-window” quality assurance system to uplift Pakistan’s cosmetics industry.
Emphasizing the government’s commitment to promoting exports and raising product standards to international levels, he said that all cosmetic products intended for human use will undergo strict and comprehensive testing.
The minister made these remarks during a meeting with a delegation representing the cosmetics industry, which called on him to discuss the sector’s challenges, issues, and growth opportunities.
