TGA
The TGA's investigation is ongoing and is currently focused on a comprehensive review and analysis of the high volume of data received from sponsors. Given the complexity and scale of the material involved, this process will take time.
Variability in Sun Protection Factor (SPF) testing results associated with the ISO 24444:2019, Cosmetics - Sun protection test methods - In vivo determination of the sun protection factor (SPF) is a known issue. This is due, in part, because it relies on human subjects and a visual estimation of individual skin responses.
The TGA is currently reviewing existing SPF testing requirements. In doing so, the TGA is exploring alternative test methods that may be more reliable, including in vitro test methods.
