8 SPECIALIST CAPABILITIES

What the service can cover

Select the capabilities that match your Health & Beauty Testing requirement, operating context and agreed delivery stage.

01

Microbiological Quality Testing

Assess selected microbiological characteristics against agreed product requirements. Findings support formulation review and investigation of raw-material or finished-product quality concerns.

02

Preservative-Effectiveness Testing

Arrange preservative challenge testing for appropriate formulations. The assessment evaluates antimicrobial protection under the selected test conditions and reporting criteria.

03

Product Stability Studies

Monitor agreed product characteristics under defined storage conditions and review intervals. Reports record changes and deviations requiring formulation or packaging investigation.

04

pH Measurement

Measure product pH using an appropriate method. Results support batch consistency checks, formulation comparisons and investigation of deviations from approved specifications.

05

Viscosity Testing

Assess viscosity under documented measurement conditions. Findings support comparison between batches, formulations and reference samples during development or quality investigations.

06

Appearance & Odour Assessment

Evaluate specified appearance and odour characteristics against agreed references. Observations document changes during stability studies or investigation of reported product defects.

07

Packaging-Compatibility Assessment

Assess selected product and packaging characteristics during defined contact and storage conditions. Findings support investigation of compatibility concerns and proposed packaging changes.

08

Product Quality Complaint Investigations

Coordinate focused testing of complaint samples and suitable comparisons. Analytical findings identify confirmed differences and priorities for investigating formulation, storage or packaging issues.
