The GÖCH (Austrian Chemical Society) has redesigned its website to be clear and offers a lot of information on microbiology, PAO, and claims according to the Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

The following guidelines have been developed by the Microbiology Working Group to date:

        - Preservatives

        - Ring test on preservation challenge tests

        - Determination of PAO

Guidelines from other working groups can be found on the topics of Cosmetic Claims, Efficacy for skin and hair, and recommendations for safety assessments.
