How is this data produced?
In accordance with the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984, all pharmaceutical, health and personal care products marketed in Malaysia must be registered and approved by the Drug Control Authority (DCA). For cosmetics specifically, a 'notification' must be submitted to NPRA via the QUEST3+ system, which is the administrative system used by NPRA to enable the online management of product registrations, variations, licensing, market sampling, renewal and others. This dataset is an exact copy of the administrative record of cosmetic products with cancelled notifications, with any columns containing personal data excluded.
These products have been found to contain prohibited substances, including scheduled poisons that are not permitted in cosmetic products. The use of cosmetic products adulterated with such chemicals as detected can cause serious adverse effects.
What caveats I should bear in mind when using this data?
Although this data represents administrative records, it nevertheless remains a static dataset which is updated once per day, rather than in real time. As such, this dataset should not be used as the basis for any legal action. Any queries on enforcement of the relevant laws of Malaysia should always be referred to the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA).
