Cosmetics - Sun protection test methods - Percentage of water resistance (ISO 18861:2020)
This document specifies a procedure for evaluating the water resistance retention percentage, by comparing the sun protection factor (SPF) before water immersion (hereafter referred to as the "static" SPF) and after a fixed period of water immersion (hereafter referred to as the "wet" SPF).
Kosmetische Mittel - Untersuchungsverfahren für Sonnenschutzmittel - Prozentualer Anteil der Wasserbeständigkeit (ISO 18861:2020)
Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren für die Bewertung des Prozentsatzes der bewahrten Wasserbeständigkeit fest, indem die Sonnenschutzfaktoren (SSF) vor dem Eintauchen in Wasser (anschließend als „statischer“ SSF bezeichnet) und nach einer festgelegten Dauer des Eintauchens in Wasser (anschließend als „feuchter“ SSF bezeichnet) miteinander verglichen werden.
Cosmétiques - Méthodes d’essai de protection solaire - Pourcentage de résistance à l’eau (ISO 18861:2020)
Le présent document spécifie un mode opératoire pour évaluer le pourcentage de rémanence à l'eau en comparant le facteur de protection solaire (FPS) avant immersion dans l'eau (appelé ici « FPS statique ») et après une durée fixe d'immersion dans l'eau (appelé ici « FPS humide »).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction
The protection which cosmetic products containing organic or inorganic sunscreens provide against
sunburn is neither absolute nor permanent.
One of the many factors that can have an effect on the level of protection given by these products is
water contact. UV absorbers in the formulation can leach out or be physically removed by the washing
action in the sea or swimming pool.
In order to make the sun products more effective, manufacturers have developed formulations which
are more substantive to the skin during water immersion. These products have been variously labelled
as water resistant or very water resistant.
In order to substantiate these product efficacy claims, a number of methods has been developed and
published: including a method promulgated in the United States of America FDA monograph on OTC
sunscreen drug products (Federal Register/ Vol. 58, No 90). Standard methods have also been published
in Australia/New Zealand (AS/NZS 2640
