COLIPA Guideline for Preservation Efficacy Testing: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The COLIPA Guideline for Preservation Efficacy Testing is a widely recognized standard that governs the testing of cosmetic products preservation efficacy. This guideline is developed by COLIPA, the European Association for Cosmetic Ingredients and Preservatives, with the aim of ensuring the safety and stability of cosmetics.

Relevant Standards

The following standards are relevant to the COLIPA Guideline for Preservation Efficacy Testing:

  • ISO 11930:2003 - Cosmetics - Microbiological preservative efficacy

  • ASTM E2185-10 - Standard Test Method for Determining the Inhibition Zone Diameters of Antimicrobial Agents on Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Using a Modified Agar Diffusion Assay

  • EN 12216:2009 - Cosmetics - Microbiological preservative efficacy

  • TSE 2204-2012 - Cosmetics - Microbiological preservative efficacy

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The European Unions Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 requires that cosmetic products be safe for human health and the environment. The COLIPA Guideline for Preservation Efficacy Testing is a key component of this regulation, ensuring that cosmetic products preservation efficacy is tested to ensure their safety.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The standard development organizations responsible for developing and maintaining the COLIPA Guideline for Preservation Efficacy Testing are:

  • COLIPA (European Association for Cosmetic Ingredients and Preservatives)

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

  • ASTM International

  • CEN (European Committee for Standardization)

    • Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to reflect new technologies, scientific discoveries, and regulatory requirements. The COLIPA Guideline for Preservation Efficacy Testing is regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains relevant and effective in ensuring the safety and stability of cosmetics.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following standard numbers and scope are relevant to the COLIPA Guideline for Preservation Efficacy Testing:

  • ISO 11930:2003 - Cosmetics - Microbiological preservative efficacy (scope: testing the microbiocidal activity of preservatives against a range of microorganisms)

  • ASTM E2185-10 - Standard Test Method for Determining the Inhibition Zone Diameters of Antimicrobial Agents on Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Using a Modified Agar Diffusion Assay (scope: testing the antimicrobial activity of preservatives against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa)

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    The following industries require compliance with the COLIPA Guideline for Preservation Efficacy Testing:

  • Cosmetics industry

  • Personal care industry

  • Pharmaceutical industry

    • Standard-Related Information Conclusion

    In conclusion, the COLIPA Guideline for Preservation Efficacy Testing is a widely recognized standard that governs the testing of cosmetic products preservation efficacy. This guideline is developed by COLIPA and maintained by ISO, ASTM International, and CEN.
