ASTM E2317 Antimicrobial Efficacy of Cosmetic Preservatives Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

The ASTM E2317 standard is a widely recognized and adopted testing method for evaluating the antimicrobial efficacy of cosmetic preservatives. This standard provides a comprehensive framework for assessing the effectiveness of various preservative systems in inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The use of cosmetics is regulated by various national and international agencies, including the European Unions Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and the US Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA). These regulations require manufacturers to ensure that their products are safe for human use and do not pose a risk to public health.

International and National Standards

The following standards apply to the ASTM E2317 testing method:

  • ISO 22000:2005 (Food Safety Management Systems - Requirements for Any Organization in the Food Chain)

  • EN 13727:2015 (Cosmetic preservatives -- Evaluation of antimicrobial efficacy)

  • TSE L116:2018 (Turkish Standards Institution - Cosmetic Preservatives - Evaluation of Antimicrobial Efficacy)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development and maintenance of standards are overseen by various organizations, including:

  • ASTM International (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials)

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

  • EN (European Committee for Standardization)

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution)

    • These organizations work together to ensure that standards are developed and updated in a collaborative and transparent manner.

    Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards undergo regular review and revision to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and industry practices. The ASTM E2317 standard has undergone several revisions since its initial publication, with the most recent update occurring in 2019.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following standard numbers and scopes apply to the ASTM E2317 testing method:

  • ASTM E2317-19: Standard Test Method for Antimicrobial Activity of Cosmetic Preservatives

  • ISO 22000:2005: Food Safety Management Systems - Requirements for Any Organization in the Food Chain

  • EN 13727:2015: Cosmetic preservatives -- Evaluation of antimicrobial efficacy

    • Industry Compliance Requirements

    Manufacturers and suppliers must comply with relevant standards and regulations when using cosmetic preservatives. Failure to do so can result in product recalls, regulatory action, and damage to reputation.

    The use of standardized testing methods ensures that products meet specific performance requirements, providing consumers with confidence in the safety and efficacy of cosmetics.
