Foreword
This document (CEN/TR 15917:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 248
“Textiles and texile products”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.

Introduction
Recently, new textile products have appeared on the European market. They associate textile
supports and cosmetic products, for example:
 slimming preparations: pantyhose, underwear, trousers;
 moisturizing preparations: pantyhose, underwear, T-shirts;
 refreshing preparations: houselinen (bedsheets.).
CEN/TC 248 WG25 has worked on this combination between textiles and cosmetic products. This new
class of product has been given the name: cosmetotextiles.
An indication that the European Commission will treat the cosmetic part of a cosmetotextile analogous
to cosmetic products is given in the “Manual of the scope of application of the European Cosmetics
Directive 76/768/EEC”. As a consequence, Article 2 of the European Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC
gains also central importance for the cosmetic part of cosmetotextiles, stating that a cosmetic product
should not cause damage to human health.
European Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC, Article 2 states:
“A cosmetic product put on the market within the Community must not cause damage to human health
when applied under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use, taking account, in particular,
of the product’s presentation, its labelling, any instructions for its use and disposal as well as any other
indication or information provided by the manufacturer or his authorized agent or by any other person
responsible for placing the product on the Community market”.
Cosmetic products are regulated within the European Cosmetics Directive (76/768/EEC) at present in
th
accordance with the 7 amendment. Although the complete cosmetotextile product does not need to
conform to the directive, the cosmetic products of a cosmetotextile will need to fulfil the terms of the
European Cosmetics Directive if they are to be marketed in Europe.
1 Scope
This Technical report specifies general characteristics of cosmetotextiles and describes their
recommended properties.
Five parts have been established as follows:
 general aspects;
 safety evaluation;
 claimed effects;
 care resistance;
 labelling.
These five characteristics are developed in Clause 4.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
textile
flexible material comprising a network of natural, man-made fibres often referred to as yarn
NOTE Yarn is produced by spinning raw wool fibres, linen, cotton, or other material on a spinning machine.
Textile fabrics are formed by weaving, knitting, or non-woven processes.
3.2
cosmetic product
substance or preparation intended to be placed in contact with the various external parts of the human
body (epidermis, hair system, nails, lips and external genital organs) or with the teeth and the mucous
membranes of the oral cavity with a view exclusively, or mainly, to cleaning them, perfuming them,
changing their appearance and/or correcting body odours and/or protecting them or keeping them in
good condition”. [In accordance with article 1 of the European Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC]
3.3
cosmetotextile
textile consumer article containing a durable cosmetic product which is released over time
NOTE Disposable products (e.g. wipes) are not considered as cosmetotextiles.
3.4
binder
material used to bind together two or more other materials (for example textiles and microcapsules).
Its two principal properties are adhesion and cohesion
3.5
microcapsule
small particle with a wall that contains the cosmetic product. Most microcapsules have diameters of a
few micrometers
3.6
cosmetic effects
effects that are in line with the general definition of a cosmetic product as mentioned in the European
Cosmetics Directive (76/768/EEC)
3.7
cosmetic claim
information, made available to the consumer and/or market, on the contents (properties, effects, etc.)
of the cosmetic product or its constituents as well as the cosmetotextile
NOTE See also Guidelines for the Evaluation of the Efficacy of Cosmetic Products, COLIPA, Annex B.
3.8
claim substantiation
process of proving the effects claimed to be generated by the cosmetotextile, e.g. via a scientifically
sound method, published data or consumer testing
NOTE This is obligatory in accordance with various laws including the European Cosmetics Directive
(76/768/EEC).
3.9
care resistance
cosmetotextile property which characterizes the quantity of the cosmetic product remaining after a
given number of care cycles
NOTE "Care resistance" should not be confused with "durability of the cosmetic effect".
3.10
durability of the cosmetic effect
number of care and use cycles during which this (these) effect(s) can be measured and/or noticed by
the user
NOTE 1 This information is relevant for marketing claims. It should not be confused with the date of minimum
durability of the cosmetic product (shelf life) which in accordance with the European Cosmetics Directive should
be indicated by the words: “best used before the end of …”.
NOTE 2 "Durability of the cosmetic effect" should not be confused with "care resistance".
3.11
claimed effect
ability of a cosmetotextile to produce the cosmetic effect claimed when using that specific
cosmetotextile
3.12
product label
label permanently attached to or printed onto a cosmetotextile
3.13
marketing label or hand tag
label which is not permanently attached to or printed onto a cosmetotextile
4 Characteristics
4.1 General
Five characteristics are developed below: general aspects, safety evaluation, claimed effects, care
resistances and labelling.
4.2 General aspects
4.2.1 Introduction
A cosmetotextile is a product which combines a cosmetic product and a textile (with or without a
binder). This cosmetic product may be contained in a microcapsule for example.
The cosmetic product used in a cosmetotextile shall conform to European Cosmetics regulations. One
condition for a substance or preparation to be a cosmetic is that it is intended to be released to the
body.
The present technical report focuses on some parts of the European Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC
which apply mainly to the cosmetotextile.
The textile of the cosmetotextile is only a “vehicle” to deliver a cosmetic product on different superficial
parts of the human body. This textile should not be considered to be a cosmetic product.
Substances which are part of the textile (dyestuffs, textile auxiliaries, binders, microcapsules…) are
not intended to be released to the body, and are therefore not considered to be cosmetic products.
A textile with those substances, which are part of the textile, falls within the scope of application of
European Textile regulations.
Textiles which claim external biocide activity are excluded. They fall within the scope of the European
Biocidal Products Dire
