Cosmetics - Microbiology - General instructions for microbiological examination (ISO 21148:2017)
This document gives general instructions for carrying out microbiological examinations of cosmetic
products, in order to ensure their quality and safety, in accordance with an appropriate risk analysis
(e.g. low water activity, hydro-alcoholic, extreme pH values).
Because of the large variety of products and potential uses within this field of application, these
instructions might not be appropriate for some products in every detail (e.g. certain water-immiscible
products).
Kosmetische Mittel - Mikrobiologie - Allgemeine Anleitungen zur mikrobiologischen Untersuchung (ISO 21148:2017)
Dieses Dokument gibt allgemeine Anleitungen für die Durchführung von mikrobiologischen Unter-suchungen kosmetischer Mittel, damit deren Qualität und Sicherheit in Übereinstimmung mit einer entsprechenden Risikoanalyse (z. B. geringe Wasseraktivität, hydroalkoholischer Anteil, extreme pH Werte) sichergestellt ist.
Wegen der großen Vielfalt an kosmetischen Mitteln und potentiellen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten innerhalb dieses Anwendungsbereichs sind diese Anleitungen möglicherweise für einige Produkte nicht in allen Einzelheiten geeignet (z. B. bestimmte mit Wasser nicht mischbare Produkte).
Cosmétiques - Microbiologie - Instructions générales pour les examens microbiologiques (ISO 21148:2017)
ISO 21148:2017 donne des règles générales pour la réalisation d'examens microbiologiques sur des produits cosmétiques afin de garantir leur qualité et leur innocuité, conformément à une analyse de risque appropriée (par exemple faible activité de l'eau, produit hydro-alcoolique, valeurs de pH extrêmes).
En raison de la grande variété de produits entrant dans le champ d'application de la présente norme et de leurs usages potentiels, ces règles peuvent ne pas être adaptées en tout point à certains produits (par exemple produits non miscibles à l'eau).
Kozmetika - Mikrobiologija - Splošna navodila za mikrobiološko preskušanje (ISO 21148:2017)
V tem dokumentu so podana splošna navodila za izvajanje mikrobioloških pregledov kozmetičnih izdelkov, da se zagotovi njihova kakovost in varnost v skladu z ustrezno analizo tveganja (npr. izdelkov z nizko aktivnostjo vode ali s skrajnimi vrednostmi pH, hidro-alkoholnih izdelkov).
Zaradi velike raznolikosti izdelkov in možnosti njihove uporabe na tem področju uporabe ta navodila morda niso v celoti primerna za nekatere izdelke (npr. tiste, ki se ne mešajo z vodo).

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to help ensure that the general techniques used for conducting cosmetic
microbiological examinations are the same in other laboratories that adopt these standards, to help
achieve homogeneous results in different laboratories and to contribute towards the protection of the
health of the laboratory personnel by preventing risk of infection.
When conducting microbiological examinations for cosmetic products, it is especially important that:
— only those microorganisms which are present in the samples be isolated or enumerated;
— the microorganisms do not contaminate the environment.
In order to achieve this, it is necessary to pay attention to personal hygiene and to use working
techniques which ensure, as far as possible, exclusion of extraneous contamination.
Since, in this document, it is possible to give only a few examples of the precautions to be taken during
microbiological examinations, a thorough knowledge of the microbiological techniques and of the
microorganisms involved is essential. It is important that the analyses be conducted as accurately as
possible, including calculation of the number of microorganisms.
A large number of manipulations can, for example, unintentionally lead to cross-contamination and the
analyst should always verify the accuracy of the results given by his/her technique. It is necessary to
take special precautions, not only for reasons of hygiene, but also to ensure good reproducibility of
the results. It is not possible to specify all the precautions to be taken in all circumstances, but this
document at least provides the main measures to be taken when preparing, sterilizing and storing the
media and the equipment.
The given recommendations will allow enumeration and detection of mesophilic microorganisms which
may grow under aerobic conditions.
The recommendations are applicable to the determination of the absence of, or limited occurrence of
specified microorganisms that are of interest for cosmetic products.
The test methods are described in the individual standards. Alternative microbiological procedures
can be used provided that their equivalence has been demonstrated or the method has been otherwise
demonstrated to be suitable. The choice of a specific method, or combination of methods mentioned in
these International Standards will depend on the purpose for performing the test and it is for the user
to decide which approach is best for his/her application.

(e.g. low water activity, hydro-alcoholic, extreme pH values).
Because of the large variety of products and potential uses within this field of application, these
instructions might not be appropriate for some products in every detail (e.g. certain water-immiscible
products).
