Introduction
The target of this course is to contribute to the qualification of the safety assessor for the part of “microbiological product safety”.
The course provides specific microbiological knowledge for the cosmetics area. During the course appropriate microbiological considerations, tests and measures are presented which are essential to achieve microbiologically safe cosmetics. In this connection it is necessary as well to gain knowledge about microbiological risks which might appear in different process parts of the product life cycle and about adequate counter measures. The course requires a basic microbiological knowledge.
