The ISO 22717 standard, developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO), offers test methods for the detection of the microorganism pseudomonas aeruginosa found in cosmetic products. Microorganisms in this standard may differ from country to country according to national practices or regulations.
In order to ensure product quality and safety for consumers, it is recommended to perform an appropriate microbiological risk analysis first to determine the types of cosmetic products to which this standard applies. Products with low microbiological risk, such as products with low water activity, hydro-alcoholic products and products with extreme pH values, are subject to the ISO 29621 standard.
The test method presented in the ISO 22717 standard is based on the detection of pseudomonas aeruginosa in a non-selective liquid medium followed by isolation on a selective agar medium. Other methods may be appropriate depending on the level of detection required.
There is a wide variety of cosmetic products that fall under this field of application, and these test methods may not be suitable for some products. For example, some cosmetic products do not mix with water. If proven to be equivalent, other methods may be used instead of the test methods described in this standard.
The aforementioned standard was published by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) in our country with the title of TS EN ISO 22717 Cosmetics - Microbiology - Pseudomonas aeruginosa search.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also pseudomonas aeruginosa detection services in cosmetic products within the framework of the ISO 22717 standard.
