I've got some second hand furniture that I want to use in a flat I rent out. How do I know if it is suitable?
I've imported some American cushions and furniture to sell in my shop. The labels say that they comply with US Regulations. Does this mean that they are OK to sell in the UK?

I want to make and sell soap and other toiletries. What are the rules about testing and labelling these products?

All cosmetic products supplied in the UK, whether for consumer or professional use, must comply with The Cosmetic Product (Safety) Regulations 2008.

Download a guide to the Cosmetic Product (Safety) Regulations 2008. The guide explains all aspects of the regulations.

You should also consider the Food Imitation regulations which outline the requirements that all companies must meet when placing non-food items that look like the real thing, onto the European market.

Detailed advice and a comprehensive guidance booklet can be obtained by contacting the business advice team on 01609 534868 or via e-mail business.advice@northyorks.gov.uk.
