Shelf Life Testing
Shelf life testing is a process used to determine how long a product remains safe, effective, and of good quality before it should be used or discarded. It involves storing the product under typical conditions and periodically testing its properties, such as stability, potency, appearance, and safety. This helps manufacturers set expiration dates and ensure consumers receive products that meet quality standards throughout their intended use. Essentially, shelf life testing predicts how long a product can be reliably stored before it potentially degrades or becomes unsafe.
