Comprehensive Guide to ISO 24443 UVA Protection Testing Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 24443 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for testing the protection of skin from ultraviolet radiation (UVR) using in vitro methods. This standard is designed to ensure that sunscreen products and other personal care items provide adequate protection against UVR, which can cause sunburn, premature aging, and even skin cancer.

International and National Standards

The ISO 24443 standard is part of a series of standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to promote global harmonization in the testing and evaluation of personal care products. The standard is based on the principles outlined in the ISO/TS 21533 standard, which provides guidelines for the development of new test methods.

In addition to ISO 24443, several national standards have been developed to support this international standard. For example:

  • EN 13823:2002 (European Standard) specifies requirements for testing the protection of skin from UVR using in vitro methods.

  • TSE 1615:2017 (Turkish Standard) outlines requirements for testing the protection of skin from UVR using in vitro methods.

  • ASTM E2533-08 (American Standard) provides guidelines for testing the protection of skin from UVR using in vitro methods.

    • Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    The development of ISO 24443 involved collaboration between several standard development organizations, including:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

    • These organizations work together to develop and maintain standards that promote global harmonization in various industries.

    Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect new scientific knowledge, technological advancements, or changes in regulatory requirements. The ISO 24443 standard has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 2013. The latest version of the standard was published in 2020 and includes updates to improve testing accuracy and consistency.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The scope of ISO 24443 includes:

  • In vitro methods for testing the protection of skin from UVR

  • Requirements for test equipment, materials, and personnel

  • Guidelines for data analysis and interpretation

    • Key standard numbers related to this topic include:

  • ISO 24443:2020 (International Standard)

  • EN 13823:2002 (European Standard)

  • TSE 1615:2017 (Turkish Standard)

  • ASTM E2533-08 (American Standard)

    • Standard Compliance Requirements for Different Industries

    Compliance with the ISO 24443 standard is mandatory for various industries, including:

  • Personal care and cosmetics

  • Pharmaceuticals

  • Medical devices

    • Failure to comply with this standard can result in regulatory penalties, product recalls, or damage to brand reputation.

  • Inadequate protection against UVR can result in product liability claims and damage to brand reputation.

    • Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting ISO 24443 Testing

    Conducting ISO 24443 testing is essential for various reasons:

  • Compliance with regulatory requirements: ISO 24443 is a mandatory standard for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

  • Product safety and efficacy: This test ensures that personal care products provide adequate protection against UVR, promoting product safety and efficacy.

  • Quality assurance: Conducting this test demonstrates a commitment to quality assurance and product excellence.

    • Consequences of Not Performing This Test

    Failure to perform ISO 24443 testing can have severe consequences:

  • Regulatory penalties

  • Product recalls

  • Damage to brand reputation

    • These consequences can result in significant financial losses, damage to customer trust, and even loss of market share.
