ISO 21392: a turning point in heavy metals analysis of cosmetic products
Tóm tắt
The new ISO 21392:2021 represents a turning point for laboratories that deal with cosmetic samples, because it univocally describes a method for quantification of trace levels of heavy metals in cosmetic products.
Came into effective in August 2021, the new ISO 21392:2021 is titled “Cosmetics — Analytical methods — Measurement of traces of heavy metals in cosmetic finished products using ICP/MS technique”. This document defines a universal method to determine the most common traces such as chromium, cobalt, arsenic, nickel, cadmium, antimony, and lead.
The new ISO 21392:2021 method can be defined as "self-supporting”. that is any knowledge or any use of other standards is not required at all, because all analytical procedures are specified directly in this ISO method and no consultation of other standards is required for its correct application. This simplifies al lot its adoption in analytical laboratories.
