"We are very excited about achieving compliance with ISO 17025 since this is arguably the most important standard to adhere to for a microbial testing lab," said Tia Walton, Director of Quality for Cosmetics and Personal Care at SGS. "ISO 17025 is an internationally recognized benchmark that demonstrates lab competence when it comes to quality management, documentation, and equipment management. With the ever-increasing market demand for antibacterial products and handwashes, we are looking forward to strengthening the assurance we provide to our existing clients and new organizations in the hygiene industry."

For example, when it comes to hand sanitizers and soaps, the FDA requires that both in-vivo and in-vitro testing be carried out before a product can be brought to market. To substantiate hand hygiene claims, SGS uses the ASTM 1174, ASTM 2755, USP 61, and USP 62 methods. "This lab accreditation also aligns with SGS's Strategy 27, which sets ambitious growth targets in
