Cosmetics - Microbiology - Detection of Escherichia coli (ISO 21150:2006)

This International Standard gives general guidelines for the detection and identification of the specified microorganism Escherichia coli in cosmetic products. Microorganisms considered as specified in this International Standard might differ from country to country according to national practices or regulations. In order to ensure product quality and safety for consumers, it is advisable to perform an appropriate microbiological risk analysis, so as to determine the types of cosmetic products to which this International Standard is applicable. Products considered to present a low microbiological risk include those with low water activity, hydro-alcoholic products, extreme pH values, etc. This International Standard specifies a method that is based on the detection of Escherichia coli in a non-selective liquid medium (enrichment broth), followed by isolation on a selective agar medium. Other methods may be appropriate depending on the level of detection required.

Kosmetik - Mikrobiologie - Nachweis von Escherichia coli (ISO 21150:2006)

Diese Internationale Norm gibt allgemeine Anleitungen für den Nachweis und die Identifizierung des vorgege-benen Mikroorganismus Escherichia coli in kosmetischen Mitteln. Die in dieser Internationalen Norm vorgege¬benen Mikroorganismen können in Übereinstimmung mit nationalen Praktiken oder Regelungen von Land zu Land unterschiedlich sein.
Um die Qualität des Produkts und die Sicherheit für Verbraucher sicherzustellen, ist es ratsam, eine geeignete mikrobiologische Risikoanalyse zur Bestimmung der Arten von kosmetischen Mitteln durchzuführen, für die diese Internationale Norm gültig ist. Produkte, die ein geringes mikrobiologisches Risiko darstellen, umfassen Produkte mit geringer Wasseraktivität, alkoholisch wässrige Produkte, Produkte mit extremen pH Werten usw.
In dieser Internationalen Norm wird ein Verfahren festgelegt, das auf dem Nachweis von Escherichia coli in einem nicht selektiven Flüssigmedium (Anreicherungsbouillon) basiert, gefolgt von einer Isolation auf einem selektiven Agarmedium. In Abhängigkeit von der erforderlichen Nachweisgrenze können andere Verfahren angemessen sein.
ANMERKUNG   Für den Nachweis von Escherichia coli kann eine Subkultivierung auf nicht selektiven Nährmedien erfolgen, gefolgt von geeigneten Schritten zur Identifizierung (z. B. unter Anwendung von Identifizierungskits).
Wegen der großen Vielfalt an kosmetischen Mitteln innerhalb dieses Anwendungsbereichs ist dieses Verfahren möglicherweise für einige Produkte nicht in allen Einzelheiten geeignet (z. B. bestimmte mit Wasser nicht mischbare Produkte). Andere Internationale Normen können zutreffen. Ersatzweise können für die hier aufgeführten Untersuchungen andere Verfahren (z. B. automatisierte) zur Anwendung kommen, vorausgesetzt, dass deren Gleichwertigkeit nach¬gewiesen oder das Verfahren anderweitig validiert wurde.

Cosmétiques - Microbiologie - Détection d'Escherichia coli (ISO 21150:2006)

L'ISO 21150:2006 donne des lignes directrices générales pour la détection et l'identification du micro-organisme spécifié Escherichia coli dans les produits cosmétiques. Les micro-organismes considérés comme spécifiés dans l'ISO 21150:2006 peuvent différer d'un pays à un autre, suivant les pratiques ou réglementations nationales.
L'ISO 21150:2006 spécifie une méthode basée sur la détection d'Escherichia coli dans un milieu liquide non sélectif (milieu liquide d'enrichissement), suivie de l'isolement du micro-organisme sur un milieu gélosé sélectif. D'autres méthodes peuvent être appropriées en fonction du niveau de détection requis.
En raison de la grande variété de produits cosmétiques entrant dans ce domaine d'application, la présente méthode peut ne pas être, en tout point, adaptée à certains produits (par exemple à certains produits non miscibles dans l'eau). D'autres Normes internationales (par exemple l'ISO 18415) peuvent être plus adaptées.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 21150 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 217, Cosmetics.

Introduction
Microbiological examinations of cosmetic products are to be carried out according to an appropriate
microbiological risk analysis in order to ensure their quality and safety for consumers.
Microbiological risk analysis depends on several parameters such as:
⎯ potential alteration of cosmetic products;
⎯ pathogenicity of microorganisms;
⎯ site of application of the cosmetic product (hair, skin, eyes, mucous membranes, etc.);
⎯ type of users (adults, children under 3 years, etc.).
For cosmetics and other topical products, the detection of skin pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans may be relevant. The detection of other kinds of
microorganisms might be of interest since these microorganisms (including indicators of faecal contamination,
e.g. Escherichia coli) suggest hygienic failure during manufacturing process.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 21150:2006(E)

Cosmetics — Microbiology — Detection of Escherichia coli
1 Scope
This International Standard gives general guidelines for the detection and identification of the specified
microorganism Escherichia coli in cosmetic products. Microorganisms considered as specified in this
International Standard might differ from country to country according to national practices or regulations.
In order to ensure product quality and safety for consumers, it is advisable to perform an appropriate
microbiological risk analysis, so as to determine the types of cosmetic products to which this International
Standard is applicable. Products considered to present a low microbiological risk include those with low water
activity, hydro-alcoholic products, extreme pH values, etc.
This International Standard specifies a method that is based on the detection of Escherichia coli in a
non-selective liquid medium (enrichment broth), followed by isolation on a selective agar medium. Other
methods may be appropriate depending on the level of detection required.
NOTE For the detection of Escherichia coli, subcultures can be performed on non-selective culture media followed by
suitable identification steps (e.g. using identification kits).
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 International Standards
may be appropriate. Other methods (e.g. automated) can be substituted for the test presented here provided
that their equivalence has been demonstrated or the method has been otherwise validated.

3.3
initial suspension
suspension (or solution) of the sample in a defined volume of an appropriate enrichment broth
3.4
sample dilution
dilution of the initial suspension
3.5
specified microorganism
aerobic mesophilic bacteria or yeast which is undesirable in a cosmetic product because it can cause skin or
eye infection, or it can be recognized as an indicator of hygienic failure in the manufacturing process
3.6
Escherichia coli
Gram-negative rod, motile, smooth colonies
NOTE 1 The main characteristics for identification are catalase positive, oxidase negative, fermentation of lactose,
production of indole, growth on selective medium containing bile salts with characteristic colonies.
NOTE 2 Escherichia coli can be isolated from the moist environmental sources (air, water, soil) and is a faecal
contamination indicator.
3.7
enrichment broth
non-selective liquid medium containing suitable neutralizers and/or dispersing agents and validated for the
product under test
4 Principle
The first step of the procedure is to perform an enrichment by using a non-selective broth medium to increase
the number of microorganisms without the risk of inhibition by the selective ingredients that are present in
selective/differential growth media.
The second step (isolation) of the test is performed on a selective medium followed by identification tests.
The possible inhibition of microbial growth by the sample shall be neutralized to allow the detection of viable
[5]
microorganisms . In all cases and whatever the methodology, the neutralization of the antimicrobial
[6] [7] [8]
properties of the product shall be checked and validated .
5 Diluents and culture media
5.1 General
Use the general instructions given in ISO 21148. When water is mentioned in this document, use distilled
water or purified water as specified in ISO 21148.
The enrichment broth is used to disperse the sample and to increase the initial microbial population. It may
contain neutralizers if the specimen to be tested has antimicrobial properties. The efficacy of the neutralization
shall be demonstrated (see Clause 11). Information relative to suitable neutralizers is given in Annex B.
The following enrichment broth is suitable for checking the presence of Escherichia coli according to this
International Standard provided that it is validated according to Clause 11.
Other diluents and culture media may be used if they have been demonstrated to be suitable for use.
