Ümmi Belgin SİLE I was born in Ankara in 1968. After living in Ankara until I was 3 years old, we moved to Muş due to my father's job in the health sector. I started primary school at the age of 5.5, but I was not registered because I was considered too young. I continued my primary education in Muş until I was 10 years old, and then moved to Bilecik, carrying with me warm memories of the different lives I had experienced and sometimes long for from my childhood. During my high school years, I was involved in athletics, table tennis, and volleyball, supported and encouraged by my father, who was a sports and volleyball coach. After completing middle and high school in Bilecik, I was accepted into the Faculty of Chemistry at Eskişehir Anadolu University due to my passion for research, love of learning, and boundless curiosity. That same year, my family moved to Kocaeli, and I began my university life in Eskişehir, leaving home for the first time. During my student years, I had the opportunity to work at various companies, including those in the petrochemical and paper industries, during the summer breaks. I also participated in social activities such as Folk Dances and Turkish Classical Music. Upon graduating from university in 1993, I started my first job in the Quality Control Laboratory of the Agricultural Medicine Department at Koruma Tarım in Kocaeli. After about a year, I moved to Istanbul due to marriage, where I still reside. In 1995, I began working in the R&D department at Ataman İlaç Kozmetik San. Tic. A.Ş. Alongside continuing the production processes, I was appointed as the Production Manager while maintaining my involvement in R&D studies. I took great pleasure in applying my research and receiving positive feedback from consumers. While advancing in my career, I completed my Master's Degree at Istanbul Marmara University, focusing on Company Mergers and Strategic Management. After 17 years at Ataman İlaç Kozmetik, I joined Eczacıbaşı Consumer Products as the Production Manager in 2012. I played a significant role in the relocation and establishment of the factory facility in 2011. Subsequently, I chose to focus on R&D and Innovation, as my research and communication skills were particularly strong. I contributed to product development in the Baby Care, Personal Care, and Detergent categories and led the establishment of the Eczacıbaşı R&D Center. During this time, I received various awards for Value Reduction Projects, Innovation Awards, and Difference Makers within the Eczacıbaşı Consumer Products Group. Additionally, as part of a social responsibility project, I mentored university students supported by Darüşşafaka. After leaving Eczacıbaşı Consumer Products in May 2019, I pursued further training in Coaching and Mentoring, Conscious Awareness, NLP, Life Coaching Advanced Level, and Management Coaching at Başkent University. In 2020, I continued my career as the R&D and Legal Affairs Director, Executive Board Member at Sapro Temizlik Ürünleri San. Ve Tic. A.Ş., where I am still employed. While addressing product needs and regulations for the American and European markets, I contribute to the company’s development and improvement processes. Since joining the Cosmetics Manufacturers and Researchers Association (KÜAD), I have actively participated in the Board of Directors, providing project-based training and collaborating with sector stakeholders. I served as the President of the Legislation Committee in 2023 and the President of the KÜAD What Should I Produce Summit, held for the first time in 2023, and I continue in this role for the current year. I was elected Vice President of KÜAD in January 2024 and continue to contribute to the sector's work. Ümmi Belgin SİLE I was born in Ankara in 1968.

ATTENTION BIOCIDAL COMPANIES As is known, in Annex V of the Biocidal Products Regulation, Product Type-1 human hygiene products are defined as “Biocidal products in this group are used for human hygiene; their primary purpose is the disinfection of the skin and scalp, and they are applied to or come into contact with human skin and scalp.” The relevant definitions in Regulation 528/2012 on Biocidal Products are also stated in this manner. Additionally, in the guide "Biocidal Products Regulation Guide: Part 2 Efficacy – Section B+C: Measurement and Evaluation," the following statements are explicitly mentioned for Product Type-1 (PT-1) biocidal products: “Products intended for the disinfection of damaged skin (e.g., wound disinfection) or for the disinfection of undamaged skin prior to a patient's medical treatment (e.g., pre-operative skin disinfection and pre-injection disinfection) and products with medical use claims are always classified as human medicinal products (fall under Directive 2001/83/EC on human medicinal products). PT-1 biocidal products mainly consist of hand sanitizers, which may also include wrist and forearm disinfection. When applying for a license for a PT-1 biocidal product, a detailed explanation of the intended use must be provided to prevent the licensing of human medicinal products or cosmetic or medical uses as biocidal products (e.g., the statement "skin disinfection" is insufficient).” Within this scope, with the approval of our Institution's Presidential Authority dated 07.06.2024 and numbered E-24931227-512.99-18893; For products intended to include statements such as "around the wound" and/or "preparing the surgical site before surgery, disinfecting/antisepsis of the area to be treated before injection/lumbar puncture" on their labels, an application for licensing as a human medicinal product must be made. For products already licensed under Product Type-1 but containing medical use statements on their labels, if it is desired that these products continue to be marketed as biocidal products, these statements must be removed from the labels, and a label registration application must be submitted. In this context, biocidal products for which an application for a human medicinal product license is submitted by 01.01.2027 and reported to the Cosmetic Products Department, or those wishing to remain on the market as biocidal products and for which the relevant medical claims have been removed from the label and a label registration application submitted, will be allowed to remain on the market in their current form until the expiration date. It is emphasized that the licenses of biocidal products that do not remove the relevant statements from their labels and submit a label registration application or apply for a human medicinal product license by 01.01.2027 will be canceled. This information is hereby communicated to all relevant parties. Attention to Those Who Will Provide and Receive Cosmetic Product Safety Assessor Training The Guide for Cosmetic Product Safety Assessors, Training and Documentation has been updated.
