ISPE introduces testing pool

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.

ISPE has made available such a pool in its laboratories.
