These guidelines, aimed at governments, and in particular cosmetics manufacturers, in order to improve public health safety, offer organisational and practical advice on the management of the human, technical and administrative factors affecting product quality. They describe the manufacturing conditions and management activities involved in the different stages of production, from the purchase of the raw materials to the dispatch of the packaged end-products.

"SO 22716:2007 gives guidelines for the production, control, storage and shipment of cosmetic products. These guidelines cover the quality aspects of the product, but as a whole do not cover safety aspects for the personnel engaged in the plant, nor do they cover aspects of protection of the environment. The guidelines in ISO 22716:2007 are not applicable to research and development activities and distribution of finished products." -- Publisher description.
