ISO 29621:2010 PDF Download

ISO 29621:2010 is a standard that provides guidelines for the risk assessment and identification of microbially low-risk cosmetic products. Its main purpose is to assist cosmetic manufacturers and regulatory bodies in determining which finished products have a low risk of microbial contamination during production and use. By applying a risk assessment, they can identify products that do not require compliance with microbiological international standards for cosmetics.

The standard emphasizes the importance of evaluating the potential for microbial contamination in cosmetic products. It encourages manufacturers to assess the risks associated with each stage of production and use, including raw materials, manufacturing processes, packaging, and storage conditions. This risk assessment enables the identification of products that have sufficient preservation systems or inherent properties that reduce the likelihood of microbial growth.

The guidelines of ISO 29621:2010 are designed to promote good manufacturing practices and ensure consumer safety. They provide a framework for assessing and managing microbial risks in cosmetic products. By identifying microbially low-risk products, manufacturers can optimize their resources and focus their efforts on products that require stricter microbiological controls.
