Health products standards committee

The Health Products Standards Committee meets around two to three times per year. We aim to have a wide and representative spread of appropriate expertise on the committee together with consumer and public interest representatives. The Health Products Standards Committee's remit is to develop and keep under review our standards for health and beauty care products and to deal with any relevant issues referred to the committee from licensees, Soil Association members, the public or our certification department.
