Hi, I've been making soaps for 2 1/2 years, people I've given them to are now asking to buy them. I'm researching safety assessments, labeling, trade scales etc. Phew! Any suggestions welcome  Smiley

Hello and welcome.  Lots of great information through the board and you've got the information to contact Scott to get info on obtaining your SA.

Agree Scott is the place to go for SA, and if you have a question about SA it is best to ask the professional (IMO). The SA will also come with advice on labelling and other paperwork.

A lot of the others here sell and can be helpful with things you don't understand.

There are loads of threads about this stuff so have a good read, and you will find many questions answered.

Oh and hi.  Grin

Thanks so much to all who replied and your good wishes:)

Another question, one of many! Grin  I spoke to trading standards last year about selling my soap, one of the things was I have to use trade scales, (which I don't have ), they have to be tested and stamped with 'CE' and a green M sticker and a class 111 instrument oh also certificate of test!  Does anyone have info on this or where to buy and how much Please?
 
Warmest wishes, Rachel  Smiley
