Comprehensive Safety and Performance Testing of Cleaning Products & Detergents

The safety and performance testing of cleaning products and detergents is crucial in ensuring that consumer goods meet strict regulatory requirements while maintaining effectiveness. This service encompasses a wide range of tests, including but not limited to biodegradability, toxicity, pH level checks, and efficacy under various conditions. Regulatory compliance is paramount in the consumer products sector due to stringent environmental and health regulations.

Biodegradability testing assesses how quickly a cleaning product decomposes into harmless substances after disposal. This test helps manufacturers understand their product's impact on the environment. For instance, a biodegradable formula ensures minimal harm to aquatic life when released through wastewater systems. On the other hand, toxicity tests evaluate whether any ingredients could pose risks if ingested or come into contact with skin.

PH level checks are essential for determining corrosiveness and potential irritation of cleaning agents on surfaces and human tissues. Products like laundry detergents should have a neutral pH to prevent fabric damage while being gentle enough not to cause skin irritation during use. Efficacy testing ensures that the product performs its intended function effectively under specific conditions, which may vary based on different types of soils or stains.

Our laboratory employs state-of-the-art equipment and methodologies to conduct these tests accurately and efficiently. Our team adheres strictly to international standards such as ISO 14976 for biodegradability assessment, ASTM F739-08(2015) for pH measurement, and EN 1276 for antimicrobial activity evaluation.

By partnering with us, you can rest assured that your cleaning products will not only meet all necessary regulatory requirements but also perform optimally across various scenarios. This comprehensive approach guarantees product safety and reliability, enhancing customer trust and satisfaction significantly.
