ISO 24443 In Vitro SPF Testing for Sunscreens: Laboratory Testing Services by Eurolab

ISO 24443 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for in vitro testing of sunscreens to determine their sun protection factor (SPF). This standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely adopted globally. The European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and other standard development organizations have also developed similar standards.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The use of sunscreens is regulated by various laws and regulations, including the European Unions Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, which requires that sunscreens comply with specific requirements for safety, efficacy, and labeling. In vitro SPF testing is a critical component of sunscreen evaluation, as it helps to ensure that these products provide adequate protection against ultraviolet radiation.

International and National Standards

The following standards are relevant to ISO 24443:

  • ISO 24443:2019 - Sun protection in sunscreens -- In vitro determination of the sun protection factor (SPF)

  • CEN/ISO 24443:2019 - Sun protection in sunscreens -- In vitro determination of the sun protection factor (SPF)

  • ASTM E2857-19 - Standard Guide for Determining the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of Sunscreen Products

  • TSE EN ISO 24443:2019 - Sun protection in sunscreens -- In vitro determination of the sun protection factor (SPF)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and other standard development organizations play a critical role in developing and maintaining standards for sunscreen testing. These organizations work together to ensure that standards are aligned and consistent across different regions.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies, methods, and requirements emerge. ISO 24443 is no exception, with updates reflecting advances in sunscreen formulations and testing techniques.
