Cosmetics - Microbiology - Detection of specified and non-specified microorganisms (ISO 18415:2007)
This International Standard gives general guidelines for the detection and identification of specified microorganisms in cosmetic products as well as for the detection and identification of other kinds of aerobic mesophilic non-specified microorganisms in cosmetic products. Microorganisms considered as specified in this International Standard might differ from country to country according to national practices or regulations. Most of them considered as specified microorganisms include one or more of the following species: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans.
In order to ensure product quality and safety for consumers, it is advisable to perform an appropriate microbiological risk analysis in order to determine the types of cosmetic product 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. The method described in this International Standard is based on the detection of microbial growth in a nonselective liquid medium (enrichment broth) suitable to detect microbial contamination, followed by isolation of microorganisms on non-selective agar media. Other methods can be appropriate depending on the level of detection required.
In this International Standard specific indications are given for identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. Other microorganisms that grow under the conditions described in this International Standard, may be identified by using suitable tests according to a general scheme (see Annex A). Other standards (e.g., ISO 18416, ISO 21150, ISO 22717, ISO 22718) may be appropriate.
Because of the large variety of cosmetic products within this field of application, this method might not be suited in every detail, to some products (e.g. certain water-immiscible products). Other methods (e.g. automate
Kosmetik - Mikrobiologie - Nachweis von spezifizierten und nichtspezifizierten Mikroorganismen (ISO 18415:2007)
Diese Internationale Norm gibt allgemeine Anleitungen sowohl für den Nachweis und die Identifizierung von spezifizierten Mikroorganismen in kosmetischen Mitteln als auch für den Nachweis und die Identifizierung von anderen Arten nichtspezifizierter aerober mesophiler Mikroorganismen in kosmetischen Mitteln.
Die in dieser Internationalen Norm als spezifiziert angesehenen Mikroorganismen können in Übereinstimmung mit nationalen Praktiken oder Regelungen von Land zu Land unterschiedlich sein. Die meisten der als spezifiziert angesehenen Mikroorganismen schließen die folgenden Arten ein: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus und Candida albicans.
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, auf die diese Internationale Norm anwendbar ist. Produkte, die ein geringes mikrobiologisches Risiko darstellen, umfassen Produkte mit geringer Wasseraktivität, alkoholisch-wässrige Produkte, Produkte mit extremen pH Werten usw.
Das in dieser Internationalen Norm beschriebene Verfahren basiert auf dem Nachweis von mikrobiellem Wachstum in einem nicht selektiven Flüssigmedium (Anreicherungsbouillon), geeignet für den Nachweis einer mikrobiellen Kontamination, gefolgt von einer Isolierung der Mikroorganismen auf einem nicht selektiven Agarmedium. In Abhängigkeit von der erforderlichen Nachweisgrenze können andere Verfahren geeignet sein.
In der vorliegenden Internationalen Norm sind spezielle Hinweise zur Identifizierung von Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus und Candida albicans angeführt. Andere Mikro-organismen, die unter den in dieser Internationalen Norm beschriebenen Bedingungen wachsen, können unter Anwendung geeigneter Untersuchungen nach einem allgemeinen Schema identifiziert werden (siehe Anhang A). Weitere Normen (z. B. ISO 18416, ISO 21150, ISO 22717, ISO 22718) können angebracht sein.
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). Ersatzweise können für die hier aufgeführten Untersuchungen andere Verfahren (z. B. automatisierte) zur Anwendung kommen, vorausgesetzt, dass deren Gleichwertigkeit nachgewiesen oder das Verfahren anderweitig validiert wurde.
Cosmétiques - Microbiologie - Détection des micro-organismes spécifiés et non spécifiés (ISO 18415:2007)
L'ISO 18415:2007 donne des lignes directrices générales pour la détection et l'identification de microorganismes spécifiés dans les produits cosmétiques, et aussi pour la détection et l'identification d'autres sortes de microorganismes mésophiles aérobies non spécifiés, dans les produits cosmétiques.
Les microorganismes considérés comme spécifiés dans la présente Norme internationale peuvent différer d'un pays à l'autre, suivant les pratiques ou réglementations nationales. La plupart des microorganismes considérés comme spécifiés comprennent une ou plusieurs espèces, parmi les suivantes: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus et Candida albicans.
La méthode décrite dans l'ISO 18415:2007 est fondée sur la détection d'une croissance microbienne dans un milieu liquide non sélectif (milieu liquide d'enrichissement) qui permet de détecter une contamination microbienne, suivie d'un isolement des microorganismes sur un milieu gélosé non sélectif. D'autres méthodes peuvent être appropriées, en fonction du niveau de détection requis.
Dans l'ISO 18415:2007, des indications spécifiques sont données pour l'identification de Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus et Candida albicans. D'autres microorganismes qui se développent dans les conditions décrites dans la présente Norme internationale, peuvent être identifiés en mettant en oeuvre des essais appropriés conformes à un schéma général.
Kozmetika - Mikrobiologija - Ugotavljanje prisotnosti specifičnih in nespecifičnih mikroorganizmov (ISO 18415:2007)
Ta mednarodni standard podaja splošne smernice za ugotavljanje prisotnosti in identifikacijo specifičnih mikroorganizmov v kozmetičnih izdelkih ter za ugotavljanje prisotnosti in identifikacijo drugih vrst mezofilnih nespecifičnih mikroorganizmov v kozmetičnih izdelkih. Mikroorganizmi, ki v tem mednarodnem standardu veljajo za specifične, se lahko razlikujejo od države do države v skladu z nacionalnimi praksami ali predpisi. Večina od mikroorganizmov, ki veljajo za specifične, vključujejo eno ali več naslednjih vrst: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus in Candida albicans. Za zagotavljanje kakovosti izdelka in varnosti za potrošnike je priporočljivo opraviti ustrezno analizo mikrobiološkega tveganja, da se določijo vrste kozmetičnih izdelkov, za katere velja ta mednarodni standard. Izdelki, pri katerih je nizko mikrobiološko tveganje, so izdelki z nizko aktivnostjo vode, hidroalkoholni izdelki, izdelki z ekstremnimi vrednostmi pH itd. Metoda, opisana v tem mednarodnem standardu, temelji na ugotavljanju prisotnosti mikrobne rasti v neselektivnem tekočem gojišču (obogatitveno gojišče), primernem za ugotavljanje mikrobne kontaminacije, temu pa sledi izolacija mikroorganizmov na neselektivnem agarskem gojišču. Lahko so primerne tudi druge metode, odvisno od zahtevane ravni detekcije. V tem mednarodnem standardu so posebej navedena navodila za identifikacijo vrst Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus in Candida albicans. Drugi mikroorganizmi, ki rastejo v pogojih, opisanih v tem mednarodnem standardu, se lahko identificirajo z uporabo ustreznih preskusov v skladu s splošno shemo (glej dodatek A). Ustrezajo lahko drugi standardi (npr. ISO 18416, ISO 21150, ISO 22717, ISO 22718). Zaradi velike raznolikosti kozmetičnih izdelkov v tem okviru uporabe ta metoda za nekatere izdelke morda ni primerna v vsaki podrobnosti (npr. za nekatere izdelke, ki se ne mešajo z vodo). Preskus, ki je tu predstavljen, lahko nadomestijo druge metode (npr. avtomatske), če je bila dokazana njihova enakovrednost ali da je bila metoda kako drugače validirana.

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 18415 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 217, Cosmetics.

Introduction
Microbiological examinations of cosmetic products are 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);
⎯ type of user (adults, children, including under 3 years).
For cosmetics and other topical products, the detection of skin pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans may be relevant because they can cause skin or eye
infection. 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 18415:2007(E)
Cosmetics — Microbiology — Detection of specified and non-
specified microorganisms
1 Scope
This International Standard gives general guidelines for the detection and identification of specified
microorganisms in cosmetic products as well as for the detection and identification of other kinds of aerobic
mesophilic non-specified microorganisms in cosmetic products.
Microorganisms considered as specified in this International Standard might differ from country to country
according to national practices or regulations. Most of them considered as specified microorganisms include
one or more of the following species: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and
Candida albicans.
In order to ensure product quality and safety for consumers, it is advisable to perform an appropriate
microbiological risk analysis in order to determine the types of cosmetic product 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.
The method described in this International Standard is based on the detection of microbial growth in a non-
selective liquid medium (enrichment broth) suitable to detect microbial contamination, followed by isolation of
microorganisms on non-selective agar media. Other methods can be appropriate depending on the level of
detection required.
In this International Standard specific indications are given for identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. Other microorganisms that grow under the
conditions described in this International Standard, may be identified by using suitable tests according to a
general scheme (see Annex A). Other standards (e.g., ISO 18416, ISO 21150, ISO 22717, ISO 22718) may
be appropriate.
Because of the large variety of cosmetic products within this field of application, this method might not be
suited in every detail, to some products (e.g. certain water-immiscible products). 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.

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 following steps (isolation and identification) are performed according to need by using appropriate
conditions of incubation and suitable identification test, as described in this International Standard.
The possible inhibition of microbial growth by the sample shall be neutralized to allow the detection of viable
[2]
microorganisms . In all cases and whatever the methodology, the neutralization of the antimicrobial
[2],[3],[4]
properties of the product shall be checked and validated .
5 Diluents and culture media
5.1 General
General specifications are given in ISO 21148. When water is used in a formula, 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 C.
The enrichment broth (5.3.2.1) or any of the ones listed in Annex B is suitable for checking the presence of
specified and non-specified microorganisms in accordance with this International Standard provided that they
are validated in accordance with Clause 11.
Other diluents and culture media may be used if it has been demonstrated that they are suitable for use.

ISO 18415:2007(E) iv © ISO 2007 – All rights reserved 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 18415 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 217, Cosmetics. This corrected version of ISO 18415:2007 contains the following corrections: ⎯ p. 2, 3.6.1: modification of definition; ⎯ p. 3, 3.8: correction of term's number; ⎯ p.8, 9.7.1: correction of text in the second paragraph. kSIST FprEN ISO 18415:2011
ISO 18415:2007(E) © ISO 2007 – All rights reserved vIntroduction Microbiological examinations of cosmetic products are 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); ⎯ type of user (adults, children, including under 3 years). For cosmetics and other topical products, the detection of skin pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans may be relevant because they can cause skin or eye infection. 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 18415:2007(E) © ISO 2007 – All rights reserved 1Cosmetics — Microbiology — Detection of specified and non-specified microorganisms 1 Scope This International Standard gives general guidelines for the detection and identification of specified microorganisms in cosmetic products as well as for the detection and identification of other kinds of aerobic mesophilic non-specified microorganisms in cosmetic products. Microorganisms considered as specified in this International Standard might differ from country to country according to national practices or regulations. Most of them considered as specified microorganisms include one or more of the following species: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. In order to ensure product quality and safety for consumers, it is advisable to perform an appropriate microbiological risk analysis in order to determine the types of cosmetic product 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. The method described in this International Standard is based on the detection of microbial growth in a non-selective liquid medium (enrichment broth) suitable to detect microbial contamination, followed by isolation of microorganisms on non-selective agar media. Other methods can be appropriate depending on the level of detection required. In this International Standard specific indications are given for identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. Other microorganisms that grow under the conditions described in this International Standard, may be identified by using suitable tests according to a general scheme (see Annex A). Other standards (e.g., ISO 18416, ISO 21150, ISO 22717, ISO 22718) may be appropriate. Because of the large variety of cosmetic products within this field of application, this method might not be suited in every detail, to some products (e.g. certain water-immiscible products). 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. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

brown or greenish NOTE 1 The main characteristics for identification are growth on a selective cetrimide agar medium, oxidase positive, production of diffusible fluorescent pigments and production of a soluble phenazine pigment (pyocyanin) in suitable media. NOTE 2 Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be isolated from a wide variety of environmental sources, especially in water and has a very high potential to spoil many different substrates. It can produce infections of human skin or eye areas. It is undesirable in cosmetic products for its potential pathogenicity and its capacity to affect the physico-chemical properties of the cosmetic formula. 3.6.2 Escherichia coli Gram-negative rod (bacilli), motile, smooth colonies NOTE 1 The main characteristics 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. 3.6.3 Staphylococus aureus Gram-positive cocci, mainly aggregated in grape-like clusters, smooth colonies generally pigmented in yellow NOTE 1 The main characteristics for identification are growth on a specific selective medium, catalase positive, coagulase positive. kSIST FprEN ISO 18415:2011
ISO 18415:2007(E) © ISO 2007 – All rights reserved 3NOTE 2 Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen for humans, which often can be also present on the skin of healthy individuals without causing them any apparent illness. It is a specified microorganism and undesirable in cosmetic products. 3.6.4 Candida albicans yeast that forms white to beige, creamy and convex colonies on the surface of a non-selective agar medium NOTE The main characteristics for identification are production of germ tube and/or pseudomycelium and chlamydospore when the test is performed following the method specified in this International Standard 3.7 non-specified microorganism aerobic mesophilic bacteria or yeast found in cosmetic products, not defined in 3.6 3.8 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 following steps (isolation and identification) are performed according to need by using appropriate conditions of incubation and suitable identification test, as described in this International Standard. The possible inhibition of microbial growth by the sample shall be neutralized to allow the detection of viable microorganisms [2]. In all cases and whatever the methodology, the neutralization of the antimicrobial properties of the product shall be checked and validated [2],[3],[4]. 5 Diluents and culture media 5.1 General General specifications are given in ISO 21148. When water is used in a formula, 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 C. The enrichment broth (5.3.2.1) or any of the ones listed in Annex B is suitable for checking the presence of specified and non-specified microorganisms in accordance with this International Standard provided that they are validated in accordance with Clause 11. Other diluents and culture media may be used if it has been demonstrated that they are suitable for use. 5.2 Diluent for the microbial suspension (tryptone sodium chloride solution) 5.2.1 General The diluent is used for the preparation of bacteria and yeast suspensions used for the validation procedure (see Clause 11). kSIST FprEN ISO 18415:2011
