ISO 22717 discusses cosmetics. ISO 22717 gives general guidelines for the detection and identification of the specified microorganism Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cosmetic products.
Microorganisms considered as specified in ISO 22717 might differ from country to country according to national practices or regulations.
Note: Because of the large variety of cosmetic products within this field of application, this method may not be appropriate in every detail for some products (e.g. certain water-immiscible products). Other International Standards (ISO 18415) may be appropriate. Other methods (e.g. automated) may be substituted for the tests presented here provided that their equivalence has been demonstrated or the method has been otherwise shown to be suitable.
ISO 22717 on pseudomonas aeruginosa in cosmetic products is useful for:
To ensure product quality and safety for consumers, it is advisable to perform an appropriate microbiological risk analysis to determine the types of cosmetic products to which ISO 22717 is applicable. Products considered to present a low microbiological (see ISO 29621) risk include those with low water activity, hydro-alcoholic products, extreme pH values, etc.
ISO 22717 provides you with a method that is based on the detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a non-selective liquid medium (enrichment broth), followed by isolation on a selective agar medium. Other methods may be appropriate, depending on the level of detection required.
Microbiological examinations of cosmetic products are carried out according to an appropriate microbiological risk analysis to ensure their quality and safety for consumers. ISO 22717 helps you to detect microorganism Pseudomonas aeruginosa and to ensure and safety of your cosmetic products.
