I got an email about it, it does look interesting! I take issue with some of their statements about challenge testing though:“Challenge test is required for all cosmetic products with the exception of microbiologically low-risk products, which are the following:
- Products that don’t contain water/have low water activity
- Products with a pH below 3 or above 10
- Products containing more than 20% alcohol
- Products containing raw materials that can create a hostile environment (strong oxidizing agents, polar organic solvents, oxidizing dyes, aluminium chlorohydrate and related salts, propellant gasses etc.)
- Products that are filled in containers at more than 65 degrees Celsius
- Products packaged in pressurized containers, pump dispensers or single-dose units”

@LincsChemist - I agree that is a bit more liberal than I would want to be about challenge testing but that is because the manufacturer is taking the risk, not the testing house.

The last two points is a surprise for me. Taking this with a grain of salt.
Thank you very much @Perry. I might consider it for a couple of my products.
