Al-Hogail approves new requirements for medical and cosmetic products laboratories

Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing Majid Al-Hogail has approved the new mandatory requirements for licensing general testing, medical and cosmetic products laboratories, and for the examination of devices, equipment, and mechanisms, as part of the Ministry’s efforts to promote investment and elevate the quality of services.

The new requirements include location and technical licensing requirements that were developed in coordination with the relevant authorities, according to a mechanism that guarantees the safe implementation of the regulations and instructions issued to ensure their validity.

The requirements mandate that investors must obtain the approval of the General Directorate of Civil Defense and the authority supervising the laboratory before starting its operation, notwithstanding the technical and location requirements and general provisions related to laboratories and their activities. The issuance or renewal of the license will be performed through the Ministry’s procedural regulations for municipal licenses.
