Scope and Methodology
EuroLab employs rigorous methodologies to ensure accurate and reliable results when conducting fragrance and perfume testing for cosmetics. Our scope encompasses various aspects such as chemical composition, allergenicity assessments, formaldehyde release testing, pH measurement, and stability evaluation under different environmental conditions.
For a deeper dive into the specifics:
- Chemical Composition Analysis: Utilizing mass spectrometry (GC-MS), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) among other techniques, we analyze the molecular structure of fragrances to identify potential impurities or contaminants.
- Allergenicity Assessments: Conducted using human patch tests and in vitro methods like the LTT test according to ISO 10218-3:2016, these assessments help determine whether a fragrance might trigger allergic reactions.
- Formaldehyde Release Testing: Important for ensuring compliance with stringent regulations regarding formaldehyde emissions from cosmetic products. We follow EN 14915:2004 and other relevant standards to measure the amount of released formaldehyde over time.
- pH Measurement: Ensuring that fragrances have a neutral pH is crucial for maintaining skin health and preventing irritation. We adhere to ISO 21793-2:2018 when performing these measurements.
- Stability Evaluation: This involves assessing how well the fragrance holds up under various storage conditions (temperature, humidity) over extended periods using accelerated aging techniques following ASTM D5463-13 standards. The goal here is to predict shelf life and ensure long-term quality assurance.
Our methodology ensures that all tests are conducted in a controlled environment where factors like temperature fluctuations and air quality do not interfere with the accuracy of our findings. Each sample undergoes multiple rounds of testing until all parameters meet strict criteria set forth by relevant international standards including ISO, ASTM, EN, IEC.
