ISO 24444 Sunscreen Product Safety and SPF Testing
The ISO 24444 standard is designed to ensure that sunscreen products are safe for consumer use while also providing accurate measurement of their Sun Protection Factor (SPF). This service plays a crucial role in the Government & Trade Facilitation sector, particularly within Consumer Product Safety Testing for Trade. By adhering to this international standard, manufacturers can demonstrate compliance and protect consumers from potentially harmful ingredients.
The testing process involves several key steps that are critical to ensuring both safety and efficacy. First, we conduct a thorough examination of the sunscreen's active and inactive ingredients to ensure they meet all regulatory requirements. This includes checking for any hazardous substances that could pose risks if used improperly or excessively.
Once ingredient safety is confirmed, our experts perform rigorous SPF testing according to ISO 24444 protocols. During these tests, samples are exposed to simulated sunlight under controlled conditions to measure how effectively they block UV radiation from reaching the skin. This not only verifies the product's claimed SPF level but also helps identify any discrepancies between actual performance and advertised values.
Apart from basic SPF verification, we offer additional services such as photostability testing which assesses whether a sunscreen retains its effectiveness over time when subjected to various environmental factors like humidity or temperature changes. Additionally, we can evaluate the water resistance of sunscreens by simulating prolonged exposure to swimming pools or seawater conditions.
Our comprehensive approach ensures that every aspect of a sunscreen product is thoroughly examined before being declared safe for public consumption and trade across borders. With stringent adherence to ISO 24444 guidelines, we provide reliable data that supports informed decision-making throughout the supply chain—from formulation development through final packaging.
By leveraging advanced analytical techniques combined with extensive experience in regulatory compliance, our team guarantees accurate results every time. Our commitment to quality and accuracy has earned us a reputation as industry leaders in this field, making us your trusted partner for all your sunscreen safety and SPF testing needs.
