Through the comparison of these access requirements for cosmetics in famous Chinese On-line shopping centers, we found that they are quite similar in registration of enterprises and brand but different on cosmetic classified management which has not align with CFDA management system. The Shanghai local standard-the Management Standard of the Access Qualification of Enterprises in E-Commerce Platforms-has entered into force since 1 December 2014. This standard stipulated the details of the access and quit of enterprises, the changing or refunding, after-sales services, etc. It shows that the supervision for on-line sellers is becoming more and more normalized. CIRS team advises relevant enterprises to make preparation in advance.
