Comprehensive Guide to JIS K 5101 Preservative Efficiency in Japanese Cosmetics Testing Services by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

JIS K 5101 is a Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) that specifies the requirements for preservative efficiency testing of cosmetics in Japan. This standard is part of the JIS K series, which covers various aspects of cosmetic testing and evaluation.

The JIS K 5101 standard was first published in 1984 and has undergone several revisions since then. The current version, JIS K 5101:2017, was published on June 15, 2017. This standard is based on the ISO 19912:2006 standard for preservative efficiency testing of cosmetics.

International and National Standards

JIS K 5101 is a national standard in Japan that is aligned with international standards such as:

  • ISO 19912:2006 (Preservative efficiency - Test method)

  • EN 1487:2013 (Cosmetics - Preservative efficiency test method)

    • In addition to JIS K 5101, other relevant standards for preservative efficiency testing of cosmetics include:

  • ASTM E1439-17 (Standard Practice for Evaluating the Efficiency of Antimicrobial Agents in Cosmetics)

  • TSE EN ISO 19912:2013 (Cosmetics - Preservative efficiency test method)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The JIS K 5101 standard was developed by the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee (JISC) under the auspices of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). The JISC is responsible for developing and publishing various Japanese industrial standards, including those related to cosmetics.

    Other standard development organizations that contribute to the development of preservative efficiency testing standards include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

    • Why JIS K 5101 Preservative Efficiency Testing is Required

    Preservative efficiency testing is essential in the cosmetics industry to ensure that products are safe for use and meet regulatory requirements. The test evaluates the effectiveness of preservatives in preventing microbial growth on a cosmetic product.

    Without preservative efficiency testing, manufacturers risk producing products that may be contaminated with microorganisms, which can lead to consumer complaints, recalls, and damage to brand reputation.

    Business and Technical Reasons

    Conducting JIS K 5101 preservative efficiency testing provides several benefits for cosmetics manufacturers:

  • Ensures compliance with regulatory requirements

  • Prevents product contamination and ensures safety for consumers

  • Supports brand reputation and trust

  • Enhances competitiveness in the market

    • Test Conditions and Methodology

    The JIS K 5101 standard specifies a test method that involves inoculating a cosmetic sample with a specific microorganism (e.g., Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus aureus) and then incubating it under controlled conditions. The test evaluates the effectiveness of preservatives in preventing microbial growth.

    Test Equipment and Instruments

    The following equipment is required for conducting JIS K 5101 preservative efficiency testing:

  • Incubator

  • Microbiological analyzer (e.g., spectrophotometer or agar plate reader)

  • Sterile sampling equipment (e.g., pipettes, loop tools)

    • Sample Preparation and Testing Parameters

    For conducting the test, a sample of the cosmetic product is prepared by dispensing it into sterile containers. The testing parameters include:

  • Inoculum size

  • Incubation time and temperature

  • Microbial growth measurement method

    • Measurement and Analysis Methods

    The microbial growth is measured using various methods, including spectrophotometry or agar plate counting.

    Reporting and Documentation

    Test results are documented in a report format that includes the following information:

  • Test parameters (e.g., inoculum size, incubation time)

  • Microbial growth data

  • Preservative efficiency value

    • The test report must be compliant with JIS K 5101 requirements and may also need to meet additional regulatory or customer-specific reporting requirements.
