Cosmetics - Microbiology - Enumeration of yeast and mould (ISO 16212:2017)

ISO 16212:2017 gives general guidelines for enumeration of yeast and mould present in cosmetics by counting the colonies on selective agar medium after aerobic incubation.
In order to ensure product quality and safety for consumers, it is advisable to perform an appropriate microbiological risk analysis to determine the types of cosmetic products to which ISO 16212:2017 is applicable. Products considered to present a low microbiological risk (see ISO 29621) include those with low water activity or extreme pH values, hydro-alcoholic products, etc.
Because of the large variety of cosmetic products within this field of application, this method might not be suited to some products in every detail (e.g. certain water-immiscible products). Other methods (e.g. automated) can be substituted for the tests presented here provided that their equivalence has been demonstrated or the method has been otherwise shown to be suitable.
Yeast enumerated can be identified using suitable identification tests, for example, tests described in the standards listed in the Bibliography. Mould enumerated can be identified by other appropriate methods, if necessary.

Cosmétiques - Microbiologie - Dénombrement des levures et des moisissures (ISO 16212:2017)

L'ISO 16212:2017 donne des lignes directrices générales pour le dénombrement des levures et des moisissures présentes dans les cosmétiques par dénombrement des colonies en milieu gélosé sélectif après une incubation aérobie.
Pour garantir la qualité du produit et la sécurité des consommateurs, il est conseillé d'effectuer une analyse de risque microbiologique appropriée, afin de déterminer les types de produits cosmétiques qui relèvent de l'ISO 16212:2017. Les produits considérés comme présentant un faible risque microbiologique (voir l'ISO 29621) comprennent ceux ayant une faible activité de l'eau ou des valeurs de pH extrêmes, les produits hydro-alcooliques, etc.
En raison de la grande variété de produits cosmétiques entrant dans ce domaine d'application, la présente méthode pourrait ne pas être applicable en tout point à certains produits (par exemple à certains produits non miscibles à l'eau). Il est possible de remplacer les essais présentés ici par d'autres méthodes (par exemple des méthodes automatisées) sous réserve que leur équivalence ait été démontrée ou que la méthode ait été par ailleurs indiquée comme adéquate.
Les levures dénombrées peuvent être identifiées à l'aide d'essais d'identification appropriés, par exemple ceux décrits dans les normes indiquées dans la Bibliographie. Les moisissures dénombrées peuvent être identifiées en utilisant d'autres méthodes appropriées, si nécessaire.

Kozmetika - Mikrobiologija - Ugotavljanje števila kvasovk in plesni (ISO 16212:2017)

V tem dokumentu so podane splošne smernice za ugotavljanje števila kvasovk in plesni v kozmetičnih izdelkih s štetjem kolonij na selektivnem agarskem gojišču po aerobni inkubaciji.
Za zagotovitev kakovosti in varnosti izdelkov za stranke je priporočljivo izvesti ustrezno mikrobiološko analizo tveganja, s katero se določijo vrste kozmetičnih izdelkov, za katere se uporablja ta dokument. Izdelki, ki po ocenah predstavljajo nizko mikrobiološko tveganje (glej ISO 29621), vključujejo izdelke z nizko aktivnostjo vode ali s skrajnimi vrednostmi pH, hidro-alkoholne izdelke itd.
Zaradi velike raznolikosti kozmetičnih izdelkov na tem področju uporabe ta metoda morda ni primerna za nekatere izdelke (npr. tiste, ki se ne mešajo z vodo). Druge metode (npr. avtomatizirane) lahko nadomestijo v tem dokumentu opisani preskusi, če je bila dokazana njihova enakovrednost ali je bila metoda kako drugače opredeljena kot primerna.
Naštete kvasovke je mogoče identificirati z ustreznimi identifikacijskimi preskusi, na primer s preskusi, opisanimi v standardih, navedenih v bibliografiji. Naštete plesni je mogoče identificirati z drugimi ustreznimi metodami, če je to potrebno.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
