Cosmetics - Microbiology - Detection of Candida albicans (ISO 18416:2015)
This International Standard gives general guidelines for the detection and identification of the specified
microorganism Candida albicans i n c osmetic products. M icroorganisms c onsidered a s s pecified i n t his
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 to determine the types of cosmetic product to which this International
Standard is applicable. Products considered to present a low microbiological (see ISO 29621) 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 Candida albicans in
a non-selective liquid medium (enrichment broth), followed by isolation on a selective agar medium.
Other methods may be appropriate dependent on the level of detection required.
NOTE For the detection of Candida albicans, 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 may
not be appropriate in every detail for some products (e.g. certain water immiscible products). Other
International Standards (ISO 18415) may be appropriate. Other methods (e.g. automated) may be
substituted for the tests presented here provided that their equivalence has been demonstrated or the
method has been otherwise shown to be suitable.
Kosmetische Mittel - Mikrobiologie - Nachweis von Candida albicans (ISO 18416:2015)
Diese Internationale Norm gibt allgemeine Anleitungen für den Nachweis und die Identifizierung des festgelegten Mikroorganismus Candida albicans in kosmetischen Mitteln. Die in dieser Internationalen Norm festgelegten 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 anwendbar ist. Produkte, die ein geringes mikrobiologisches Risiko (siehe ISO 29621) darstellen, umfassen jene mit geringer Wasseraktivität, alkoholisch wässrige Produkte, Produkte mit extremen pH Werten usw.
Das in dieser Internationalen Norm beschriebene Verfahren basiert auf dem Nachweis von Candida albicans in einem nicht selektiven Flüssigmedium (Anreicherungsbouillon), gefolgt von einer Isolation auf einem selek¬tiven Agarmedium. In Abhängigkeit von der erforderlichen Nachweisgrenze können andere Verfahren an¬gemessen sein.
ANMERKUNG Für den Nachweis von Candida albicans 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 (ISO 18415) können geeignet sein. Ersatzweise können für die hier aufgeführten Untersuchungen andere Verfahren (z. B. automatisierte) zur Anwendung kommen, vorausgesetzt, dass deren Gleichwertigkeit nach¬gewiesen oder sich das Verfahren anderweitig als geeignet erwiesen hat.
Cosmétiques - Microbiologie - Détection de Candida albicans (ISO 18416:2015)
ISO 18416:2015 donne des lignes directrices générales pour la détection et l'identification du microorganisme spécifié Candida albicans 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 les réglementations nationales.
Pour garantir la qualité du produit et la sécurité des consommateurs, il est préférable d'effectuer une analyse appropriée du risque microbiologique pour déterminer les types de produits cosmétiques qui relèvent de la présente Norme internationale. Les produits considérés comme présentant un faible risque microbiologique (voir ISO 29621) comprennent ceux ayant une faible activité de l'eau, les produits hydroalcooliques, ceux ayant des valeurs de pH extrêmes, etc.
La méthode décrite dans la présente Norme internationale repose d'abord sur la détection de Candida albicans dans un milieu liquide non sélectif (bouillon d'enrichissement), suivie d'un isolement sur un milieu gélosé sélectif. D'autres méthodes peuvent être appropriées en fonction du niveau de détection exigé.
NOTE Pour la détection de Candida albicans, il est possible de réaliser des subcultures sur des milieux de culture non sélectifs, puis de procéder aux étapes appropriées d'identification (par exemple en utilisant des kits d'identification).
En raison de la grande variété de produits cosmétiques relevant de ce domaine d'application, il se peut que cette méthode ne soit pas appropriée en tous points à certains produits (par exemple aux produits non miscibles à l'eau). D'autres Normes internationales (ISO 18415) peuvent être appropriées. 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.
Kozmetika - Mikrobiologija - Ugotavljanje prisotnosti kvasovke Candida albicans (ISO 18416:2015)
Ta mednarodni standard podaja splošne smernice za ugotavljanje prisotnosti in prepoznavanje mikroorganizma Candida albicans v kozmetičnih izdelkih. Mikroorganizmi, ki so upoštevani, kot so določeni v tem mednarodnem standardu, se lahko v različnih državah zaradi državnih praks ali predpisov razlikujejo. Za namen zagotovitve kakovosti in varnosti izdelkov za stranke je priporočljivo izvesti ustrezno mikrobiološko analizo tveganja, s katero se določijo vrste kozmetičnih izdelkov, za katere velja ta mednarodni standard. Izdelki, za katere se meni, da predstavljajo nizko mikrobiološko tveganje (glej ISO 29621), vključujejo tiste z nizko aktivnostjo vode, hidro-alkoholne izdelke, skrajne vrednosti pH itd. Metoda, opisana v tem mednarodnem standardu, temelji na ugotavljanju prisotnosti Candida albicans v neselektivnem tekočem gojišču (obogatitven bujon), ki mu sledi izolacija na selektivnem agarskem gojišču.
Ustrezne so lahko tudi druge metode, odvisno od zahtevane ravni ugotavljanja prisotnosti.
OPOMBA: Za namen ugotavljanja prisotnosti Candida albicans je mogoče precepljene kulture vzgojiti v neselektivnem gojišču kultur, čemur sledijo ustrezni koraki prepoznavanja (npr. uporaba kompletov za prepoznavanje).
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). Uporabljajo se lahko drugi mednarodni standardi (ISO 18415). Druge metode (npr. avtomatske) je mogoče zamenjati za tukaj predstavljene preskuse, če je bila dokazana njihova enakovrednost ali je bila metoda drugače dokazana za primerno.

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 the following:
— potential alteration of cosmetic products;— pathogenicity of microorganisms;
— site of application of the cosmetic product (hair, skin, eyes, mucous membranes);
— type of users (adults, children 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 infections. The detection of other kinds of microorganism might be of interest since these
microorganisms (including indicators of faecal contamination e.g. Escherichia coli) suggest hygienic
failure during the manufacturing process.© ISO 2015 – All rights reserved v

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 18416:2015(E)
Cosmetics — Microbiology — Detection of Candida albicans
1 Scope
This International Standard gives general guidelines for the detection and identification of the specified
microorganism Candida albicans 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 to determine the types of cosmetic product to which this International
Standard is applicable. Products considered to present a low microbiological (see ISO 29621) 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 Candida albicans in
a non-selective liquid medium (enrichment broth), followed by isolation on a selective agar medium.
Other methods may be appropriate dependent on the level of detection required.NOTE For the detection of Candida albicans, 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 may
not be appropriate in every detail for some products (e.g. certain water immiscible products). Other
International Standards (ISO 18415) may be appropriate. Other methods (e.g. automated) may be
substituted for the tests presented here provided that their equivalence has been demonstrated or the
method has been otherwise shown to be suitable.2 Normative references

3.5
specified microorganism
aerobic mesophilic bacterium or yeast that is undesirable in a cosmetic product and is recognized as a
skin pathogen species that may be harmful for human health or as an indication of hygienic failure in
the manufacturing process3.6
Candida albicans
yeast that form white to beige, creamy and convex colonies on the surface of a selective medium
Note 1 to entry: The main characteristic for identification is the production of germ tube and/or pseudomycelium
and chlamydospore when the test is performed following the method specified in this International Standard.
3.7enrichment broth
non-selective liquid medium containing suitable neutralizers and/or dispersing agents and
demonstrated to be suitable for the product under test4 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 of the test (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
[1]of viable microorganisms. In all cases and whatever the methodology, the neutralization of the
antimicrobial properties of the product shall be checked and demonstrated (see Clause 11).
5 Diluents and culture media5.1 General
General instructions are given in ISO 21148. When water is mentioned in this International Standard,
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 enrichment broth (5.3.3.1), or any of the ones listed in Annex A, is suitable for checking the
presence of Candida albicans in accordance with this International Standard provided that it has been
demonstrated to be suitable in accordance with Clause 11.Other diluents and culture media may be used if it has been demonstrated that they are suitable for use.

8 Handling of cosmetic products and laboratory samples
If necessary, store products to be tested at room temperature.
Do not incubate, refrigerate or freeze products and samples before or after analysis.
Sampling of cosmetic products to be analysed should be carried out as described in ISO 21148. Analyse
samples as described in ISO 21148 and according to the procedure in Clause 9.9 Procedure
9.1 General recommendation
Use sterile material, equipment and aseptic techniques to prepare the sample, initial suspension and
dilutions. In the case of the preparation of the initial suspension in an appropriate solubilizing agent, the
time which elapses between the end of preparation and the moment the inoculum comes into contact
with the enrichment broth shall not exceed 45 min, unless specifically mentioned in the established
protocols or documents.9.2 Preparation of the initial suspension in the enrichment broth
9.2.1 General
The enrichment is prepared from a sample (3.2) of at least 1 g or 1 ml of the well-mixed product under
test, which is dispersed in at least 9 ml of enrichment broth.Note S, the exact weight or volume of the sample.
The method shall be checked to ensure that the composition (neutralizer eventually added) and the
volume of the broth perform satisfactorily (see 11.3).NOTE In some cases, and when possible, filtration of the cosmetic product through a membrane that is
afterwards immersed in the enrichment broth, facilitates the neutralization of the antimicrobial properties of
the product (see 11.3.)9.2.2 Water-miscible products
Transfer the sample, S, of product to a suitable container containing an appropriate volume of broth.
9.2.3 Water-immiscible productsTransfer the sample, S, of product to a suitable container containing a suitable quantity of solubilizing
agent (e.g. Polysorbate 80).Disperse the sample within the solubilizing agent and add an
