This aim of this standard is to provide a process for the determination of mercury in cosmetics by means of cold vapour atomic adsorption (AAS) after pressure digestion.
The procedure was validated in 2015 by means of a multi laboratory study in combination with cold vapour AAS determination process for mercury with eight laboratories participating. Overall, seven samples representing different matrices (lipstick, tattoo colourant, body lotion, toothpaste, eyeshadow and water make-up) with varying mercury contents between 0,110 mg/kg and 5,84 mg/kg were analysed.

This document specifies an analytical procedure for direct determination of traces of mercury in finished cosmetic products by thermal decomposition – atomic absorption spectrometry (mercury analyser).
This document aims to provide a procedure of quantification of mercury traces in cosmetic products that consumers can be exposed to in their usage. This method describes the determination of mercury traces in cosmetics by direct solid analysis with no need of prior digestion. Total mercury (both inorganic and organic species) can be quantified either in solid or liquid samples.

This document specifies an in vitro procedure to characterize the UVA protection of sunscreen products. Specifications are given to enable determination of the spectral absorbance characteristics of UVA protection in a reproducible manner.
In order to determine relevant UVA protection parameters, the method has been created to provide an UV spectral absorbance curve from which a number of calculations and evaluations can be undertaken. These include calculation of the Ultraviolet-A protection factor (UVA-PF) [correlating with in vivo UVA-PF from the persistent pigment darkening (PPD) testing procedure], critical wavelength and UVA absorbance proportionality. These computations are optional and relate to local sunscreen product labelling requirements. This method relies on the use of static in vivo SPF results for scaling the UV absorbance curve.
This document is not applicable to powder products such as pressed powder and loose powder products.

The proposed standard aims at describing a method to analyze 57 chemically defined suspected allergens (some of them existing under several isomeric forms or as mixtures) in ready to inject fragrance and raw material samples according to the SCCS opinion. (SCCS/1459/11).
This new analytical method uses gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to detect and to quantify the 57 fragrance substances and their relevant isomers at a concentration higher than 0.0002% (2 mg/kg) in ready to inject fragrance and raw material samples. Making this method available will allow the screening of (complex) ready to inject fragrance and raw material samples to be undertaken for the presence of any of those chemically defined suspected allergens. It will therefore be a basis for the calculation of adequate information to the cosmetics industry in order to provide adequate consumer information. The present analytical method uses GC-MS by combination of two GC columns of different polarity with a dedicated methodology for quantitation.

This document specifies requirements and test methods for the physical properties of powered
toothbrushes in order to promote the safety of these products for their intended use.
There are different technologies of powered toothbrushes. Common features of those powered
toothbrushes to which this document applies are:
— a battery;
— a motor;
— a mechanical or magnetic drive system;
— a moving brush head with tufted filaments.
Powered toothbrushes can have a moving brush head with different motions (e.g. oscillating-rotating,
side-by-side), frequencies and velocities.
The requirements listed in this document apply to all types of powered toothbrushes. However, there is a
possibility that some requirements are not applicable for all types, for example brush head plate retention
can only be applied if the brush has a head portion that might get detached from the brush shaft.
This document is not applicable to other types of powered oral hygiene devices (such as powered
interdental brushes) or manual toothbrushes.

This standard specifies a method for the in vivo determination of the sun protectionfactor (SPF) of sunscreen products. It is applicable to products that containany component able to absorb, reflect or scatter ultraviolet (UV) rays and whichare intended to be placed in contact with human skin.This document provides abasis for the evaluation of sunscreen products for the protection of human skinagainst erythema induced by solar ultraviolet rays.

This standard describes the industry best practices to address the concentration of extracts which is related to ISO 16128-2:2017, 4.2. Evaporation of solvents to dryness it not addressed in this document. This document aims to delineate the cases when an extract is produced and, afterwards the mixture of evaporated solvents used, regardless of the categories, are partially evaporated. The producer of the extract can utilize different approaches (e.g. measurement by instrumentation, characterization of solvent volatility, published values of evaporation rates, etc.) to determine the index (es) of the extract. Despite the approach and justification, the rational and determinations used is made available to interested parties, when requested.

This document defines a global approach for the validation of a quantitative analytical method, based on the construction and interpretation of an accuracy profile, and specifies its characterization procedure. This procedure is particularly applicable for internal validation in a cosmetic testing laboratory, but its scope can be extended to the interpretation of data collected for an interlaboratory study designed according to the recommendations of the ISO 5725-1. It does not apply to microbiological trials. The present approach is particularly suited to handle the wide diversity of matrices in cosmetics. This document only applies to already fully-developed and finalized methods for which selectivity/specificity have already been studied and the scope of the method to be validated has already been defined, in terms of matrix types and measurand (for example analyte) concentrations.

This Standard gives guidelines for the stability testing of cosmetic products. It reviews readily available bibliographic references that provide a resource for the assessment of the stability of cosmetic products. This review of the available guidelines that assess the stability of cosmetic products can serve as a technical/scientific framework to identify the most suitable methods for the assessment of the stability of cosmetic products. This document does not aim to specify the conditions, parameters or criteria of stability testing. Considering the wide variety of cosmetic products, storage and use conditions, it is not possible to define a single way to assess product stability. Therefore, it is up to the manufacturer to specify and justify the stability protocol to cover test methods, specifications and conditions at which products will be tested.

This document specifies an analytical method, based on liquid-chromatography (LC) with ultraviolet/visible spectrometry (UV/Vis) detection for the detection and quantitative determination of 22 organic UV filters in use in the EU framework. This method has been validated for emulsion-based cosmetic products, lip-balms, lotions and waters.

This document specifies a procedure for the interpretation of data generated by the preservation
efficacy test or by the microbiological risk assessment, or both, when evaluating the overall
antimicrobial protection of a cosmetic product.
It comprises:
— a preservation efficacy test;
— a procedure for evaluating the overall antimicrobial protection of a cosmetic product that is not
considered low risk, based on a risk assessment described in ISO 29621.
The preservation efficacy test is a reference method to evaluate the preservation of a cosmetic
formulation. It is applicable to cosmetic products in the marketplace.
This test does not apply to those cosmetic products for which the microbiological risk has been
determined to be low according to Annex A and ISO 29621.
This test is primarily designed for water-soluble or water-miscible cosmetic products and can be used
with modification to test products in which water is the internal (discontinuous) phase.
NOTE This test can be used as a guideline to establish a development method during the development cycle
of cosmetic products. In this case, the test can be modified or extended, or both, for example, to make allowance
for prior data and different variables (microbial strains, media, incubation conditions exposure time, etc.).
Compliance criteria can be adapted to specific objectives. During the development stage of cosmetic products,
other methods, where relevant, can be used to determine the preservation efficacy of formulations.
