Here's the Dutch law (since we're all EU these will be more or less the same)

You need to have someone do safety assessment testing for each product you make.

Do you have a suggestion where to do the assessment

In the belgium or holland

Anywhere in Europe is okay. Just find somewhere they have reasonable pricing.

Dagmar,
thank you for the link about european rules for selling cosmetics.
I read on some forums that the rules for selling soap, if you are not claming any other use then cleaning the body are less complicated. Is that not so in Europe by your knowledge?

That is only the case in the USA.
