Product Type 1: Human Hygiene
At MassLab, we offer comprehensive biocidal testing services to ensure that biocidal products meet the quality, efficacy, and safety standards required for human hygiene. Product Type 1: Human Hygiene Biocides include products such as soaps, hand sanitizers, cleansing gels, and antibacterial wipes that are directly applied to the skin to maintain hygiene. The effectiveness and safety of these products are critical for protecting user health.
Importance of Biocidal Products for Human Hygiene
Human hygiene biocidal products help remove harmful microorganisms while protecting the skin. Their effectiveness is evaluated by their capacity to provide microbial protection, and it is essential that these products are made from safe ingredients that do not harm the skin. MassLab’s human hygiene biocidal tests guarantee that these products meet all necessary quality, efficacy, and safety standards.
Scope of Human Hygiene Biocidal Testing
Microbiological Efficacy Tests
These tests determine how effective the biocidal products are against microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Products are tested according to international standards including EN 1500, EN 1276, and EN 14476 to confirm their antimicrobial effectiveness.
Dermatological Tests
Since human hygiene biocidal products are applied directly to the skin, they must be compatible with skin. Dermatological tests assess whether the products cause irritation, redness, or allergic reactions, ensuring safe usage.
pH Compatibility and Skin Protection Tests
These tests evaluate whether the pH levels of biocidal products are suitable for human skin. Products with a skin-friendly pH minimize irritation and ensure safe application.
Chemical Content and Allergen Tests
These tests analyze whether biocidal products contain any potentially harmful chemicals (such as formaldehyde or parabens) or allergens. They confirm that the products are free of toxic chemicals and allergens, ensuring safe use on the skin.
Stability Tests
Stability tests determine whether the chemical and physical properties of human hygiene biocidal products remain intact throughout their labeled shelf life. These tests demonstrate that the products retain their effectiveness and safety over time.
Post-Use Efficacy Tests
These tests assess whether the biocidal products continue to provide microbial protection for a defined period after use. They confirm that the product maintains its protective effect over time, ensuring lasting efficacy.
