Identity and quality
Project-defined identity, purity, physical properties, contaminants, supplier verification and certificate-of-analysis questions.
Fragrance and product testing
A managed testing pathway for fragrance products.
516Labs helps fragrance houses, brands, contract manufacturers and private-label teams turn a formula, raw-material or launch requirement into a qualified laboratory scope, executable quote and coordinated testing program.
Common testing needs
From raw material through finished product.
The exact test plan depends on product type, ingredients, packaging, market, claims, intended use and the evidence required by the brand or regulatory team.
Stability and compatibility
Accelerated and real-time stability, appearance, odor, color, viscosity, pH and compatibility with the selected package or applicator.
Microbial quality
Microbial limits, preservative-effectiveness or challenge testing when appropriate for the product and formulation.
Safety evidence
Qualified laboratory and specialist pathways for irritation, sensitization, toxicology or other project-defined safety evidence.
Restricted substances
Targeted analytical work for allergens, residual solvents, heavy metals, phthalates or other market- and specification-defined substances.
Claims and comparison
Structured testing for longevity, consumer or instrumental performance and substantiation requirements where a suitable protocol exists.
