Health Canada Compendial Test for Pathogenic Organisms in Cosmetics: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The Health Canada Compendial Test for Pathogenic Organisms in Cosmetics is a laboratory testing service that ensures the safety and quality of cosmetic products. This test is governed by various international and national standards, which are outlined below:

  • ISO 11133:2014: Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs Preparation, production, evaluation, and calibration of pure cultural microorganisms
  • ASTM E2432-13: Standard Practice for Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity of Ophthalmic Products Against Bacteria and Fungi
  • EN 12253:2014: Cosmetics Microbiological requirements and test methods
  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) EN ISO 11133:2014: Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs Preparation, production, evaluation, and calibration of pure cultural microorganisms
  • These standards are developed by standard development organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and Turkish Standards Institution (TSE). These organizations play a crucial role in ensuring that laboratory testing services, like Eurolabs Health Canada Compendial Test for Pathogenic Organisms in Cosmetics, are conducted in accordance with the latest scientific knowledge and best practices.

    The Health Canada Compendial Test for Pathogenic Organisms in Cosmetics is a critical laboratory testing service that ensures the safety and quality of cosmetic products. The main reasons why this test is required include:
