SGS, the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and
certification company, is helping manufacturers of absorbent hygiene products
(AHPs) prove to wary customers that their products are safe and free from trace
chemicals.
Studies have shown that baby diapers and intimate hygiene products
can contain a wide variety of toxic substance residues. The nature of these
products means this news is of great concern to both regulators and consumers.
Until recently, the only two testing methodologies available to
manufacturers were inefficient. The situation has changed with the release of
the Edana Method NWSP360 Series in November 2020. Linked to the Edana AHP
Stewardship program, which focuses on the detection of trace chemicals in AHP,
this series was developed by a panel of industry experts seeking to create a
realistic, practical, robust, repeatable and reproducible test method.
SGS’s Consumer Compact article looks at the growth in concern over
trace elements in AHPs and the development and advantages of utilizing the
Edana Method NWSP360 Series. The article is aimed at industry insiders and
members of the public who want to gain a better understanding of what is
actually in our AHPs.

In addition, SGS has created a webinar for the industry – Safety of Absorbent Hygiene Products – Testing for Trace Chemicals.
