Consumer products
In order to satisfy regulatory standards that
assure consumer confidence, it is vital that companies implement
development, quality assurance, and quality control processes that
ensure product safety.
LGC Health Sciences has a wealth of experience in supporting these
activities which, together with our investigative and surveillance
capabilities, help you develop safe and effective consumer
products.
We support a wide range of product types, including healthcare,
childcare, personal and home care, and provide expert
analysis and advice to help companies meet regulatory requirements,
investigate factors in product failures and conduct product
de-formulation. Examples of products we work with include
toothpastes, mouthwashes, opthalmics, toys, shampoos, cosmetics,
laundry detergents and softeners.
Innovation of new analytical methodology is the foundation of
our portfolio of services. Our scientists participate in ISO and
European working parties and committees that develop, evaluate and
collaboratively trial safety testing methods. The technical
investment in analytical development enables continuous improvement
in laboratory techniques and services.
.
Our range of services include:
We operate the TOYTEST
proficiency testing scheme which allows laboratories involved in
the safety testing of toys to monitor their analysis against
current European and American standards.
