Comprehensive Guide to ISO 22715 Labeling Requirements for Skin and Cosmetic Products Testing Services by Eurolab

ISO 22715 is a standard that governs the labeling requirements for skin and cosmetic products. This standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely adopted across the globe.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The labeling of skin and cosmetic products is regulated by various national and international laws, including the European Unions Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, which requires that all cosmetic products be labeled with information on their ingredients, usage instructions, and any safety warnings. In addition, many countries have their own regulations governing the labeling of skin and cosmetic products.

International and National Standards

The standard ISO 22715 is based on a combination of international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 6486:2013 (Safety requirements for packaging of cosmetics)

  • EN 13508:2004 (Packaging safety rules for cosmetics)

  • ASTM D4300-09 (Standard Guide for Packaging Design)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development of ISO 22715 is overseen by the Technical Committee on Cosmetics (TC 262) of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The TC 262 brings together experts from around the world to develop standards and guidelines for the cosmetics industry.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards are continually evolving as new technologies and regulations emerge. The ISO 22715 standard is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in legislation, technological advancements, and best practices in the industry.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

    The scope of ISO 22715 includes:

  • Requirements for labeling of skin and cosmetic products

  • Specifications for packaging design and materials

  • Guidelines for safety testing and evaluation

    • The standard applies to all types of skin and cosmetic products, including:

  • Creams and lotions

  • Shampoos and conditioners

  • Perfumes and fragrances

  • Skin care products (e.g., exfoliants, moisturizers)

  • Hair care products (e.g., shampoos, conditioners)

    2. Testing equipment and instruments: The necessary testing equipment and instruments are used to conduct the test.

    3. Safety evaluation: The product is evaluated for safety, including its packaging design, labeling, and any other relevant factors.

    4. Packaging design review: The products packaging design is reviewed for compliance with ISO 22715 standards.

    Testing Equipment and Instruments

    The necessary testing equipment and instruments used in conducting the ISO 22715 test include:

  • Microscopes

  • Spectrophotometers

  • Scanning electron microscopes (SEM)

  • Gas chromatographs (GC)

    • Safety Evaluation and Packaging Design Review

    The safety evaluation and packaging design review are critical components of the ISO 22715 test. These evaluations assess the products safety, including its labeling, packaging design, and any other relevant factors.

    Conclusion

    In conclusion, compliance with ISO 22715 is essential for all industries involved in the production and labeling of skin and cosmetic products. By conducting regular testing, manufacturers can ensure that their products meet the necessary safety standards, preventing adverse reactions and injuries to consumers.
