CHEMICAL ANALYSES
Data issued from laboratory analyses allow also to feed the PIF (Product Information File)- Part A • chapter “physical/chemical characteristics of substances and finished products” • chapter “impurities, traces and information on the packaging material”
Chemical Analyses - Dosages of substances
Physico-chemical analyses
Search for traces of prohibited (Annex II) or restricted substances (Annex III, V)
Ingredient assay (majority, function in product)
To characterize a formula and establish the specifications sheet and MSDS
Our network of laboratories and clinical facilities offer full integrated solutions packages.
Preservatives: parabens, phenoxyethanol, MIT/CMIT, triclosan, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, benzyl alcohol, dehydroacetic acid, salicylic acid...
Pure or diluted pH
When analytical and environmental impact studies are required? Our experts offer customer-centric and customized programs for: • Ingredients and raw materials control upon receipt • Product development phase (R&D): before and after stability, packaging migration studies • Production phase and quality control: check of manufacturing batches in factory and post-market surveillance
Environmental impact studies This service studies the behavior and impact of ingredients, raw material or finished products on different ecosys- tems (target populations). • Biodegradability studies: OECD 301, 302, 306, 311 • Ecotoxicity studies: • Fresh water: OECD 201, 202, 203, 209, 210, 211, 212, 215, 221, 236 • On sea water: EN ISO 10253, FD ISO 14669, ISO 16778...
• Some of these studies can be performed under GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) • EASZY assay (OECD 250)
