TS 13218 Total Bacteria Count in Cosmetic Creams Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

Standard-Related Information

The TS 13218 Total Bacteria Count in Cosmetic Creams testing service is governed by various international and national standards, which provide the framework for this laboratory test. The following are some of the key standards that apply to this specific testing service:

  • ISO 17025:2017: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • EN ISO 11924-1:2015: Water quality - Determination of bacteria - Part 1: Enumeration of total coliforms, E. coli and enterococci by membrane filtration

  • ASTM D 5464-13: Standard Practice for Sampling and Testing Paints for Total Bacteria Count (TBC)

  • EU GMP Guidelines: Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines for cosmetic products

    • These standards outline the requirements for testing laboratories to ensure that they can provide accurate and reliable results. The TS 13218 Total Bacteria Count in Cosmetic Creams testing service is designed to meet these requirements, ensuring that customers receive high-quality test results.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The development of standards is an ongoing process, with various organizations contributing to the evolution of standards over time. Some key standard development organizations (SDOs) involved in the development of TS 13218 Total Bacteria Count in Cosmetic Creams testing include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO): ISO develops and publishes international standards, including those related to laboratory testing and calibration.

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM): ASTM develops and publishes voluntary consensus standards for a wide range of industries, including cosmetics.

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN): CEN develops and publishes European standards, including those related to laboratory testing and calibration.

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with relevant standards is essential for laboratories providing TS 13218 Total Bacteria Count in Cosmetic Creams testing services. This includes:

  • Accreditation: Laboratories must be accredited by a recognized accrediting body to demonstrate their competence in performing the test.

  • Certification: Laboratories must hold certification from a recognized certification body, demonstrating compliance with relevant standards.

  • Quality Management System (QMS): Laboratories must implement a QMS that meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2015.

    • Standard Requirements and Needs

    The TS 13218 Total Bacteria Count in Cosmetic Creams testing service is essential for ensuring the safety and quality of cosmetic creams. This test detects the presence of total bacteria, which can affect the appearance, texture, and shelf life of cosmetics. The consequences of not performing this test include:

  • Product contamination: Presence of bacteria can lead to product contamination, affecting consumer health and safety.

  • Quality issues: Bacteria can cause quality issues, such as spoilage or off-odors, which can impact the appearance and performance of cosmetics.

  • Regulatory non-compliance: Failure to perform this test may result in regulatory non-compliance, leading to fines, penalties, or even product recalls.

    • Test Conditions and Methodology

    The TS 13218 Total Bacteria Count in Cosmetic Creams testing service involves a series of steps that ensure accurate and reliable results:

    1. Sample preparation: The cosmetic cream sample is prepared according to the relevant standard (e.g., ISO 11924-1:2015).

    2. Testing equipment: A sterile membrane filter with a pore size of 0.45 μm or less is used.

    3. Testing environment: The testing is performed in a controlled laboratory environment, maintaining temperature and humidity conditions specified by the standard (e.g., 22C 2C and 60 10 relative humidity).

    4. Measurement and analysis: The membrane filter is then placed on an agar plate and incubated for a specified period (e.g., 24 hours). Colony-forming units are counted to determine the total bacteria count.

    Test Reporting and Documentation

    The test results are documented in a comprehensive report, which includes:

  • Summary of findings: A brief summary of the testing process and results.

  • Results table: A detailed table showing the results of the total bacteria count test.

  • Certification and accreditation information: Details of the laboratorys accreditation and certification status.

    • Why This Test Should Be Performed

    Performing TS 13218 Total Bacteria Count in Cosmetic Creams testing provides numerous benefits, including:

  • Quality assurance and compliance: Ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards.
