Household chemical products, like cosmetics, are an integral part of our daily lives. That is why J. S. Hamilton meets the expectations of manufacturers and offers a broad spectrum of tests that can confirm both the performance, effectiveness and safety of household chemical products.
- a) In-use test
Our laboratory offers in-use tests (application) for household chemicals products. Subjective assessment of volunteers allows to check whether the product meets the assumed declarations.
In addition to single in-use test, we can also perform comparative tests in which we check the tested product with selected competing product.
- b) Efficacy test
In addition to testing with volunteers, J. S. Hamilton also offers efficacy tests in a modern and specialized laboratory in standardized and controlled conditions.
We can offer you studies in the following areas:
- organoleptic assessment,
- assessment of the effectiveness of washing off stains.
- c) Dermatological tests (patch test)
As in the case of cosmetic products, we can perform dermatological tests for household chemicals to check whether the product causes an allergic reaction or skin irritation. After performing such a test, the declaration “dermatologically tested” can be used. In the case of household chemicals, the semi-open test, open test and t-shirt test are most often performed. More information about dermatological tests can be found here.
- d) Physicochemical analysis
In our laboratories, we conduct a number of physicochemical tests for household chemistry products. The most frequently ordered tests include:
- desingnation of organic dry residue,
- desingnation of foaming power,
- designation of pH,
- density,
- designation of chlorides,
- designation of anionic/cationic active substance.
Each of the tested products is treated individually and in addition to the above-mentioned tests, we also offer other analytical services. In order to confirm the testing possibilities and prepare a personalized offer, please contact the Customer Service Office.
- e) Creation of an MSDS
For household chemistry products, we also offer the creation of an MSDS, a necessary document that is key in the process of product identification in the supply chain.
MSDS are created by qualified Safety Assessors with experience in completing documentation for this type of products.
Due to the multitude and variety of household chemistry products, please contact us to discuss the specifications of a specific product.
