We provide a wide panel of testing services for both the industrial and commercial markets. All-purpose cleaner, dishwashing, laundry and bathroom products are examples of products that can be tested according to most common international standards including IKW and A.I.S.E. protocols. Suitable protocols are developed to support a specific claim. Product's compliance with Ecolabel and local environmental criteria is evaluated.

Proper safety evaluation of detergents and household products is necessary for the correct classification of ingredients and formulations. In the context of the European regulatory framework, dealing with the complexity of REACH and CLP regulation, Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing provides testing support and regulatory advice to ensure product tolerability and safety. State-of-the-art in vitro laboratory is compliant with the latest developed protocols and guidelines to evaluate eye and skin irritation. Assessment of skin tolerability may also be performed on volunteers following the A.I.S.E. recommendations.

Biodegradability tests are required to evaluate the environmental fate and behaviour of materials. Eco-toxicological tests are performed according to OECD and ISO standards. Data obtained provide the necessary information about compound's toxicity on representative organisms.

Microbial contamination evaluation aims to ensure the safety of the product and rule-out the possibility of microbial spoilage. Absence of any relevant pathogen should also be tested for a complete assessment of microbiological safety. The evaluation of the efficacy of the preservative system can be verified according to standard and customised protocols, which may also include in-house isolated microorganisms for a reproduction of in real life manufacturing environment and in-use conditions.
