NEWS FROM ISPE...
An innovative method to evaluate "WATER RESISTANT" sun products
Constantly in the forefront in offering Customers new and updated evaluation criteria, ISPE Laboratories today present the latest protocol to determine the sun protection factor.
Further to the recent guidelines established by COLIPA, ISPE has adopted the new method to assess the Solar Protection Factor of Water Resistant Products (SPF Water Resistant and SPF Waterproof - Very Water Resistant).
This procedure entails the complete immersion of the volunteer's skin area submitted to the test, thus calling for the use of an appropriate spa-pool provided with all the technical characteristics required by the new method.
Always committed to perceive market trends and to fully satisfy customer requirements, ISPE has made available in its labs this structure, that is immediately effective for the validation of SPF in compliance with the new COLIPA norms.
This is yet another sign of the level of quality, timeliness and expertise of our services, conceived and carried out for the success of our Clients.
ISPE: Your ideal partner for guaranteed and certified quality of evaluations.
