Right on track with UVA PHOTOPROTECTION

21 January 2026

Complife first ISO 17025 Accreditation in Italy for UVA Photoprotection Testing According to ISO 24443

UVA protection is a critical aspect of sunscreen product safety and regulatory compliance in Europe and internationally. Under the EU Cosmetics Recommendation 2006/647/EC, manufacturers must ensure that sun care products provide an effective and documented level of protection.

The ISO 24443 standard provides an internationally recognized in vitro method for determining the UVA Protection Factor (UVA PF). This method measures the UV spectral absorption curve of sunscreen products, offering a fast, reproducible, and standardized assessment of UVA protection. Together with in vivo testing this method can contribute to create a complete and exhaustive approach with high scientific reliability.

Complife is the first laboratory in Italy accredited under ISO 17025 to perform UVA photoprotection testing according to ISO 24443, enabling reliable, certified analyses for safe and compliant sun care products. This achievement confirms Complife’s technical expertise and the reliability of its processes in assessing the effectiveness of sun care products against UVA radiation.
