The pilot program for electronic cosmetic labels has officially kicked off! Huiyi Technology’s traceability system is helping to ensure compliance.
The pilot program for electronic cosmetic labels has been launched, enabling compliant traceability with a single click.
Starting February 1, 2026, the six provinces and cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong, and Chongqing will officially launch a pilot program for electronic labels on cosmetics, with a duration of three years.
Electronic tag The four core values:
1. Cost reduction and efficiency enhancement: No need to reprint packaging for formula adjustments or regulatory updates—simply update with one click.
2. Friendly for small packaging: Makeup and samples are no longer limited by the space available for displaying label information.
3. Brand Value Enhancement: Can showcase brand stories, product videos, anti-counterfeiting traceability, and marketing campaigns.
4. Senior-friendly convenience: Scan the code to activate voice of information, solving reading difficulties for seniors.
01
Policy Background: The new era of digital regulation has arrived.
Core requirement: Product packaging must feature a compliant QR code; scanning the code will provide access to all legally required label information. Enterprises may either build their own system or use a third-party system, but they must ensure data security and traceability.
Common Requirements: Policies vary from region to region, and application thresholds differ accordingly. However, regardless of the province, enterprises can choose to build their own systems or use compliant third-party systems; such systems must meet national technical standards.

Pioneer Case: The Value of Electronic Tags Has Been Verified
Quzhou’s Pilot Results of the “Zhejiang Makeup Chain” Initiative 
As a pilot zone in Zhejiang Province, Quzhou City has already made substantial progress: Quzhou has combined QR code technology with “eco-friendly cosmetics,” guiding enterprises to develop 10 Quzhou-specific products—including citrus facial creams and ginger-rich shampoos—and embedding electronic tags on their packaging. This initiative has successfully boosted product sales to over 4,500 boxes.
Complete coding in the cosmetics field: 31 category codes, 20 batch codes, and 33,000 individual product codes.
Upload cosmetic settlement data: Over 46,000 entries
The first batch of pilot products—covering four categories including general skincare, children’s skincare, facial masks, and hair care/shampoo (including cleansing and bathing)—have prompted the completion of individual product code conversion for the three products commissioned for manufacturing.
Beijing enterprises are actively connecting and collaborating.
In January 2026, the Beijing Daily Chemical Industry Association will host two pilot technical promotion sessions on electronic labeling for cosmetics. Huake Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. and the Zhongguancun Institute of Industrial and Information Technology QR Code Technology will demonstrate their coding systems on-site. Eighteen cosmetic companies based in Beijing participated in the event and engaged in in-depth exchanges.

Huiyi Technology’s One-Item, One-Code Traceability System:
Making electronic tag compliance easier to implement.
An electronic tag is far from as simple as just “attaching a code.” A compliant, functional, and valuable QR code relies on a comprehensive software system and traceability framework behind the scenes. 
Why electronic tags cannot do without software and... Traceability system ？
Core logic Every change in the status of an electronic tag is driven by the software system and recorded by the traceability system. Without a system, an electronic tag is just a “dead code.”
The three major thresholds for electronic tag compliance must be overcome through software.
Threshold 1: The data must be absolutely consistent with the filing information.
Manual verification? Unrealistic. Manual updates? Too slow and prone to errors.
Huiyi Solution: The system automatically connects to the filing platform. When filing information changes, the content of the electronic tags is updated synchronously, with zero latency and zero errors.
Threshold 2: Data must be authentic, complete, and traceable.
Regulatory requirements mandate the provision of complete operational logs: who generated them, who collected them, and whether the data has been tampered with.
Huiyi Solution: All operations are logged, all data is permanently recorded, creating an unalterable record. Audit trail Be prepared to respond to regulatory inspections at any time.
Threshold 3: Production line data must be real-time, accurate, and continuous.
On high-speed production lines, manual verification cannot be performed in real time and must rely on automated system processing.
Huiyi Solution: The production line data acquisition and control system instantly identifies non-conforming codes and automatically triggers their removal, ensuring 100% accuracy at the source of the data.
The value of electronic tags is unlocked through a traceability system.
For regulation: The data linking bottles and boxes is complete, ensuring that each bottle and each box can be traced back to its origin, making compliance thoroughly verifiable.
For businesses: After scanning the code, consumers not only see regulatory information but also brand stories and an entry point for earning points, turning every scan into an opportunity for brand engagement.
To consumers: Scan the code to view the product’s traceability records, ensuring that brand trust is built on data.
The core capabilities of the Huiyi System 
Let compliance become a competitive edge, let traceability build trust, and let electronic labels serve as a new engine for brand growth.
