Volatile Nitrosamines Testing (ISO 15819)
Nitrosamine testing evaluates the presence of volatile nitrosamines in cosmetic, personal care, and consumer products. Pentyl Labs performs this analysis in accordance with ISO 15819 using gas chromatography with thermal energy analysis (GC-TEA), a highly selective method for nitrosamine detection.
Nitrosamines are a class of compounds that may form unintentionally during manufacturing or storage. They can arise from reactions between amines and nitrosating agents, particularly in formulations containing surfactants, preservatives, or secondary amines. Because many nitrosamines are classified as potential carcinogens, accurate testing plays an important role in product safety evaluation.
During nitrosamine testing, analysts extract and analyze volatile nitrosamines using GC-TEA. This technique provides strong sensitivity and selectivity for nitrosamine compounds, even at very low concentrations. The method is well suited for complex product matrices such as cosmetics, personal care items, and cleaning formulations.
Manufacturers often request nitrosamine testing during product development, reformulation, or prior to market release. Testing also supports investigations related to raw material changes, supplier qualification, or stability concerns. Early detection helps brands address potential risks before products reach consumers.
This analysis supports compliance with regulatory and industry expectations. Many global authorities closely monitor nitrosamine content due to potential health concerns. As a result, analytical data generated through ISO 15819 testing helps support internal risk assessments, regulatory documentation, and audit readiness.
Nitrosamine testing is commonly included within broader Chemical Analysis Services and Contaminant Screening Programs. When used alongside ingredient review and targeted analytical testing, this service helps manufacturers better understand formulation risk and prioritize corrective actions.
Guidance from international standards organizations defines acceptable testing approaches and analytical requirements for nitrosamine determination. Reliable results allow manufacturers to make informed decisions regarding formulation changes and product safety strategies.
Overall, nitrosamine testing provides clear, defensible data that supports consumer safety, regulatory compliance, and responsible product stewardship.
