SPF testing SGS IDEA and SGS IEC have been involved in in vitro and in vivo sunscreen testing for many years, relying on a continuous improvement approach to ensure our customers a high level of reliabilityin the results communicated to them.
SPF TESTING
Protocols • ISO 24443 • ISO 23675 - NEW - • Boots star rating • Cosmetics Europe In vitro Clinical testing • SPF determination • UVA PF determination
Capabilities • Jacuzzi and sauna • ISO standards Protocols • Australia/New Zealand standard
In vitro Regulatory and screening tests • UVA-PF determination • Critical wavelength • Boots star rating • SPF assessment • Batch control • Spectral photostability Capabilities • 1 fully equipped lab • Solarlight LS-1000 sun simulator • Labsphere UV-2000 spectrophotometer • Sunbot («Double plate» method)
• For each tested product, the obtained value is consistently close to the reference value. The Z-scores recorded by our laboratories always fall within the range of-1 to +1, demonstrating their expertise. This also ensures that the results produced are reliable and meet the expected quality standards
Strict compliance of our study conditions with the current international methods, regular training of our teams, internal audits carried out several times a year, and participation in inter-laboratory proficiency testing schemes organized by BIPEA * , in accordance with ISO/CEI 43-1, are key elements of this approach.
*Interprofessional Bureau of Analytical Studies, Paris, France - www.bipea.org BIPEA is a non-profit organization whose mission is to challenge the performance of test laboratories vis-à-vis their results, on an international level.
