Our history
New activity at WENEOS with HDRS
À partir de janvier 2025, WENEOS propose la nouvelle méthode de test innovante en interne via l'HDRS (Hybride Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy) pour évaluer la photoprotection des produits solaires selon la norme ISO 23698:2024.
Standards ISO 23675:2024 and ISO 23698:2024
Publication de deux nouvelles méthodes alternatives pour l’évaluation de la protection solaire des produits cosmétiques.
- ISO 23675:2024 – Cosmétiques : Méthodes de test de protection solaire – Détermination in vitro du facteur de protection solaire (SPF).
- ISO 23698:2024 – Cosmétiques : Mesure de l’efficacité des produits solaires par spectroscopie de réflexion diffuse.
