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.

RAW MATERIAL

Identity and quality

Project-defined identity, purity, physical properties, contaminants, supplier verification and certificate-of-analysis questions.

FORMULATION

Stability and compatibility

Accelerated and real-time stability, appearance, odor, color, viscosity, pH and compatibility with the selected package or applicator.

MICROBIOLOGY

Microbial quality

Microbial limits, preservative-effectiveness or challenge testing when appropriate for the product and formulation.

SAFETY

Safety evidence

Qualified laboratory and specialist pathways for irritation, sensitization, toxicology or other project-defined safety evidence.

COMPLIANCE

Restricted substances

Targeted analytical work for allergens, residual solvents, heavy metals, phthalates or other market- and specification-defined substances.

PERFORMANCE

Claims and comparison

Structured testing for longevity, consumer or instrumental performance and substantiation requirements where a suitable protocol exists.
