Consumer goods

Consumer goods comprise numerous product groups we use in our everyday lives.

Among them are:

  • articles coming into contact with food, such as packaging materials and dishes made of e. g. plastics
  • packaging for cosmetic products
  • articles coming into contact with the mucous membrane of the mouth such as toothbrushes, teething rings, teats, dummies, and mouthpieces
  • articles intended for body care such as sponges, razors, shavers, and combs
  • toys and joke articles such as toy building bricks, plasticine, sneezing powder
  • articles intended for long-term use on the human body such as clothing, wigs, jewellery, glasses
  • cleaning agents, detergents, furniture polish for domestic use
  • impregnating agents and other equipment for domestic use such as shoe polish
  • agents and articles for odour improvement such as air fresheners, fragrance lamps, insect strips, pheromone traps

Among others, we test consumer goods such as

  • leather for the presence of chlorinated paraffins and preservatives (PCP,o-phenylphenol, chlorocresol)
  • toys for the presence of plasticisers, PAH and other parameters from DIN EN 71 (European Standard)
  • packaging which comes into contact with food for its migration behaviour
  • insect repellents and pheromon traps for their active ingredients
