1 Scope
This European Standard describes a method for the identification and determination
of 24 volatile suspected allergens from ready-to-inject cosmetics and raw materials
used in cosmetic products and are compatible with GC analysis. This analysis uses
GC-MS after sample preparation. The 24 suspected allergens are restricted under Council
Directives (7th amendment to the Cosmetic Directive 2003/15/EC).
The method described in this European Standard does not include requirements for the
preparation of samples in matrices for which direct injection in GC is not feasible.
