ISO 11930 Preservative Effectiveness for Sensitive Skin ProductsComprehensive Guide to ISO 11930 Preservative Effectiveness for Sensitive Skin Products Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab
ISO 11930 is an international standard that governs the testing of preservative effectiveness in sensitive skin products. This standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely recognized as a benchmark for quality and safety in the cosmetics industry.
The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 11930 is complex and varies depending on the country and region. In the European Union, for example, the Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires that all cosmetic products be tested for their preservative effectiveness before they can be placed on the market.
In addition to EU regulations, many countries have their own national standards that must be met in order to ensure compliance with ISO 11930. These include:
The development and maintenance of international standards such as ISO 11930 are overseen by standard development organizations (SDOs) such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). These SDOs work with industry stakeholders, governments, and other interested parties to develop and update standards that meet the needs of the market.
Standards evolve over time as new technologies and testing methods become available. This ensures that the testing requirements remain relevant and effective in protecting consumer safety.

ISO 11930 Preservative Effectiveness for Sensitive Skin Products testing involves a series of rigorous steps designed to simulate real-world conditions:
1. Sample Preparation: The test sample is prepared according to the standard protocols, including dilution or concentration as required.
2. Testing Equipment and Instruments: State-of-the-art equipment such as spectrophotometers, chromatographs, and microscopes are used to measure and analyze the sample.
3. Testing Environment Requirements: Temperature, humidity, pressure, and other environmental factors are carefully controlled to simulate real-world conditions.
4. Measurement and Analysis Methods: Standardized measurement methods such as titration, spectroscopy, or chromatography are used to determine preservative levels.
The testing parameters and conditions for ISO 11930 include:
Results of the ISO 11930 test are documented and reported in a clear and concise manner, using standard reporting formats such as tables, graphs, or charts. The report typically includes:
1. Introduction: Brief overview of the testing procedure and purpose.
2. Methods: Detailed description of the testing equipment, instruments, and procedures used.
3. Results: Presentation of the test results, including preservative levels, pH levels, etc.
4. Discussion: Interpretation of the results and comparison with regulatory requirements.
5. Conclusion: Summary of findings and recommendations for further action.
The certification and accreditation aspects of ISO 11930 testing are critical to ensure that the laboratory is competent to perform the test. Eurolabs laboratory has been accredited by the International Accreditation Service (IAS) to perform ISO 11930 testing.
