"All of our records are now in one location"
QT9 has streamlined our internal auditing process, preparation for regulatory audits, document control and approval, and organizational training. We have been able to reduce our active documents by 30% as unnecessary/redundant documents and procedures have been made more visible through the document review process.

"Looking forward to using more modules"
The document control feature has improved our ability to find documents and some records when requested for audit or project purposes. Training is much easier to manage. I like being able to link equipment and gages to system documentation in the Document list. The customer service has always been helpful and responds quickly.

"Great Product for Documentation Control"
All of our documents are in one place and access is easily available for all users. The additional of the change control system allowed us to include that feature and use it to track training and approval of documents without using the paper system. Easier to track training and provide a training records to auditors.

Frequently Asked Questions: Cosmetics Industry QMS
Why is quality management important in the cosmetics industry?
The primary reason quality management is important in the cosmetics industry is to ensure end-user safety, the goal of industry regulations. Prioritizing quality and safety will not only help ensure regulatory compliance, but also assist in building trust with customers, avoiding negative feedback and maintaining a strong market presence.
The cosmetics industry is highly competitive and you’ve probably worked hard to get your products on the shelf. Ensuring the consistent quality of your cosmetics will support continued momentum for your business.
What quality regulations affect the cosmetics industry?
Cosmetic industry regulations vary depending on ingredients and intended use of the product, as well as by the country in which they are marketed. In the United States, the main laws affecting cosmetic manufacturers are the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MOCRA); and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act. In the European Union (EU), cosmetic regulatory compliance falls to the EU Commission (EC) Regulation No. 1223/2009.
At a high level, compliance involves the validation of raw materials, adherence to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), prohibition of certain ingredients, claim substantiation, and a designated “responsible person.”
How does a cosmetics business benefit from QMS software?
QMS software (eQMS) provides a framework for standardizing, centralizing and streamlining all quality management needs, including:
- Document Management
- Supplier Interactions
- Inspections
- Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs)
