What to Consider in Household and Industrial Detergent Testing?

Cleaning products vary significantly depending on their intended use. Household and industrial detergents differ in formulation, concentration, and application, and so should their testing processes. Properly conducted detergent tests are essential to ensure product safety, performance, and regulatory compliance in both domestic and professional environments.

Testing for Household Detergents

Household detergents often come into direct contact with the skin and are used in confined living spaces. Therefore, testing must prioritize consumer health, skin compatibility, and environmental safety.

Key Testing Parameters:

• pH testing (skin friendliness)
• Dermatological compatibility
• Active substance concentration
• Biodegradability assessment
• Heavy metal and VOC analysis

Testing for Industrial Detergents

Industrial detergents are used in critical areas such as food processing, healthcare, hospitality, and heavy industry. These products require more intensive testing due to their potent chemical compositions and specialized applications.

Key Testing Areas Include:

• Accurate chemical concentration verification
• Residue-free performance on surfaces
• Microbiological effectiveness (especially for disinfectants)
• Material compatibility (metal, plastic, glass)
• Packaging and transport safety testing

Common Factors to Monitor in All Detergent Tests

• Sample collection and transport must follow proper standards
• Product MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) should accompany testing
• Tests should adhere to national and international standards (e.g., TS, ISO, EN)
• Reports must be clear, compliant, and accurately reflect test results
