ISO 18416:2007给出了化妆品中特定微生物白念珠菌检测和鉴定的一般指南。根据国家实践或法规，本国际标准中规定的微生物可能因国家而异。 ISO 18416:2007中描述的方法基于在非选择性液体培养基（浓缩肉汤）中检测白色念珠菌，然后在选择性琼脂培养基上分离。根据所需的检测水平，其他方法可能是合适的。 由于这一应用领域内的化妆品种类繁多，这种方法可能并不适用于某些产品（例如:。 g、 某些水不溶性产品）。其他国际标准（如ISO 18415）可能也适用。如果证明了其他方法的等效性或以其他方式验证了该方法，则可以用其他方法（如自动方法）代替此处提供的测试。

ISO 18416:2007 gives general guidelines for the detection and identification of the specified microorganism Candida albicans in cosmetic products. Microorganisms considered as specified in this International Standard might differ from country to country according to national practices or regulations. The method described in ISO 18416:2007 is based on the detection of Candida albicans in a non-selective liquid medium (enrichment broth), followed by isolation on a selective agar medium. Other methods may be appropriate dependent on the level of detection required. Because of the large variety of cosmetic products within this field of application, this method might not be suited in every detail, to some products (e.g. certain water-immiscible products). Other International Standards (e.g. ISO 18415) might be appropriate. Other methods (e.g. automated) can be substituted for the test presented here provided that their equivalence has been demonstrated or the method has been otherwise validated.
