T/HBMHS 0001-2024 Microbial Limitation Test for Cosmetics
Basic Information
Scope
Main technical content: The existing standard "Technical Specifications for Cosmetic Safety" provides detailed testing procedures for total bacterial count, heat-resistant Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as molds and yeasts. The main problem is the lack of methods to remove the influence of preservatives in cosmetics. However, the "Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China" provides methods for removing the antibacterial activity of drugs. This standard combines the microbiological testing methods of the "Technical Specifications for Cosmetic Safety" with the methods for removing antibacterial activity in the "Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China" to develop a method for checking the microbial limits in cosmetics and establish a more accurate method for detecting microorganisms in cosmetics.
