DANSK DS/EN 16521 PDF

This European Standard describes a GC/MS method for the assay of 12 phthalates, among which the 8 phthalates regulated by the European cosmetic regulation (Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009). This method is given for the analysis of samples ready for analytical injection from cosmetic products or raw materials used in cosmetic products. Samples should be compatible with GC analysis, based on a liquid injection, possibly after dilution or sample preparation. This method does not include requirements for the preparation of samples in cosmetic matrices for which direct injection in GC is not feasible.
