Frequently Asked Questions

What cosmetic tests are required for BIS certification in India?

BIS certification for cosmetics requires testing against relevant Indian Standards such as IS 6608 (hair dyes), IS 9245 (skin creams), and IS 15153 (sunscreen). Tests typically include heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium), microbiological limits, pH, stability, and product-specific parameters. Auriga Research is a NABL-accredited lab with BIS-recognised testing capability for all major cosmetic product categories.

How long does cosmetic stability testing take?

Accelerated stability testing under ICH guidelines runs for a minimum of 28 days (short-term accelerated) to 6 months (full accelerated). Real-time stability studies run for 12-36 months depending on claimed shelf life. Auriga Research provides interim reports at each time point so you can proceed with regulatory submissions while the full study continues.

Do you offer SPF testing for sunscreens?

Yes. We offer both in-vitro SPF determination using spectrophotometric methods and support for in-vivo SPF claims substantiation. Our in-vitro testing follows ISO 24443 and provides results within 7-10 working days. Contact us to discuss your specific claims testing requirements.

Are your cosmetic test reports accepted by CDSCO?

Yes. Auriga Research holds NABL accreditation under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for cosmetic testing parameters. Our certificates of analysis are accepted by CDSCO, BIS, and state drug licensing authorities for product registration, import licensing, and compliance audits.

What is the cost of cosmetic testing in India?

Costs depend on the test panel and product type. Microbiological testing starts from approximately Rs 3,000-6,000 per sample. Heavy metals analysis ranges from Rs 4,000-8,000. Stability studies are quoted based on duration, conditions, and number of time points. Contact us for a detailed quote — volume discounts apply for routine testing contracts.
