Microbiological Monitoring in the Cosmetics Industry

A microbiological monitoring is essential to ensure the microbiological quality of products in accordance with ISO 17516. With the help of monitoring, one gains an overview of the hygienic condition of the premises, examines workflows, and checks whether the cleaning and disinfection measures are sufficient.

Possible sources of microbiological contamination include:

• Raw materials including water
• Surfaces
• Air
• Personnel
• Packaging materials

All these areas must be controlled through appropriate monitoring. For each area, sampling sites must be determined, the frequency defined, and testing must be conducted with suitable methods. Only in this way can it be ensured that the monitoring program is working.

We provide comprehensive support on all possible topics related to this: from the dispatch of sample materials, advising on the selection of sampling sites, interpreting results, to root cause analysis, etc.

Give us a call, we look forward to your message!
