Methods for analysis of allergens - Quantification of suspected fragrance allergens in consumer products - Step 1: GC analysis of ready-to-inject sample

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).
This European Standard does not include requirements for the preparation of samples in matrices for which direct injection in GC is not feasible.
