Cosmetics - Sun protection test methods - Water immersion procedure for determining water resistance (ISO 16217:2020)

This document specifies a procedure of water immersion for the in vivo determination of the water
resistance of sunscreen products.
This document is applicable to products intended to be placed in contact with human skin including
any component able to absorb, reflect or scatter UV rays and which, in addition, are designed to be less
readily removed from the skin by water and/or during water immersion. It is intended to be read in
conjunction with ISO 24444.

Kosmetische Mittel - Untersuchungsverfahren für Sonnnenschutzmittel - Wasserimmersionsverfahren zur Bestimmung der Wasserbeständigkeit (ISO 16217:2020)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren für das Eintauchen in Wasser für die In-vivo-Bestimmung der Wasserbeständigkeit von Sonnenschutzmitteln fest.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar auf Sonnenschutzmittel, einschließlich aller Bestandteile, die UV-Strahlung absorbieren, reflektieren oder streuen können, die dafür vorgesehen sind, mit der menschlichen Haut in Kontakt zu kommen und schwerer durch Wasser und/oder während des Eintauchens in Wasser von der Haut entfernt zu werden. Es ist dafür vorgesehen, in Zusammenhang mit ISO 24444 gelesen zu werden.

Cosmétiques - Méthodes d'essai de protection solaire - Mode opératoire d’immersion dans l’eau pour la détermination de la résistance à l'eau (ISO 16217:2020)

Le présent document spécifie un mode opératoire d'immersion dans l'eau utilisé pour la détermination in vivo de la résistance à l'eau des produits solaires.
Le présent document est applicable aux produits destinés à être mis en contact avec la peau humaine, y compris tout composant pouvant absorber, réfléchir ou diffuser les rayons UV, et qui sont en outre conçus pour être moins faciles à éliminer de la peau sous l'action de l'eau et/ou pendant l'immersion dans l'eau. Il est destiné à être lu conjointement avec l'ISO 24444.

Kozmetika - Metode za preskušanje zaščite pred soncem - Postopek s potopitvijo v vodo za določanje vodoodpornosti (ISO 16217:2020)

Ta dokument določa postopek potopitve v vodo za določevanje vodoodpornosti in vivo sredstev za zaščito kože pred soncem.
Ta dokument se uporablja za izdelke, namenjene nanosu na človeško kožo, vključno s katero koli komponento, ki lahko vpija, odbija ali razprši ultravijolične žarke, in ki so poleg tega zasnovani tako, da jih je težje odstraniti s kože z vodo in/ali med potopitvijo v vodo. Uporabljati ga je treba v povezavi s standardom ISO 24444.
