ISO 11930 Preservative Effectiveness Testing in Stability Studies: A Comprehensive Guide

Standard-Related Information

ISO 11930 is a widely recognized standard for preservative effectiveness testing in stability studies. The standard provides guidelines for the evaluation of the efficacy of preservatives used in various industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food.

The standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is based on the principles of good laboratory practice (GLP). ISO 11930 is applicable to all types of preservatives, including antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant agents.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

Preservative effectiveness testing in stability studies is regulated by various national and international laws. The standard is aligned with the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009, which requires manufacturers to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of preservatives used in cosmetic products.

In addition to EU regulations, ISO 11930 is also applicable to other regions, including North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. Regulatory bodies such as the US FDA, Health Canada, and the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) recognize the standard as a benchmark for preservative effectiveness testing.

International and National Standards

ISO 11930 is an international standard that provides guidelines for preservative effectiveness testing in stability studies. The standard is based on national standards from various countries, including:

  • ASTM E2180-12: Standard Guide for Evaluating the Preservative Effectiveness of Antimicrobial Agents Used in Cosmetics

  • EN 1503:2006: Cosmetics - Determination of the efficacy of preservatives

  • TSE ISO 11930:2015: Preservative effectiveness testing in stability studies

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a non-governmental organization that brings together experts from around the world to develop and maintain international standards.

    Other standard development organizations, such as ASTM International and CEN (European Committee for Standardization), also contribute to the development of preservative effectiveness testing standards.

    Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and industry practices. ISO 11930 is reviewed every five years by a technical committee composed of experts from around the world.

    Updates to the standard ensure that it remains relevant and effective in evaluating the efficacy of preservatives used in various industries.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    ISO 11930:2015 specifies the requirements for preservative effectiveness testing in stability studies. The scope of the standard includes:

  • Evaluation of the efficacy of antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant agents

  • Determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of preservatives

  • Assessment of the preservatives performance in various environmental conditions

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with ISO 11930 is mandatory for industries that use preservatives in their products. Manufacturers must demonstrate compliance with the standard to ensure the safety and efficacy of their products.

    Non-compliance with the standard can result in product recalls, fines, and damage to a companys reputation.
