Cosmétiques - Méthodes analytiques - Méthode de CLHP couplée à la détection UV pour l'identification et l'analyse de l'hydroquinone, de ses éthers et des corticostéroïdes dans les produits cosmétiques éclaircissants de la peau
La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode CLHP couplée à la détection UV pour l’identification et la quantification de l’hydroquinone, de trois de ses éthers et de quatre corticostéroïdes principalement présents dans les produits cosmétiques éclaircissants de la peau commercialisés illégalement : le propionate de clobétasol, le dipropionate de bétaméthasone, le fluocinonide et le fluocinolone acétonide.
La présente norme décrit également des méthodes CLHP couplées à la détection UV pour l’identification de trente-huit corticostéroïdes susceptibles d’être présents dans les produits cosmétiques éclaircissants de la peau (voir l’Annexe D).
La présente norme ne concerne pas les produits pour ongles artificiels ou les savons.
Kozmetika - Analizne metode - Metoda HPLC/UV za identifikacijo in določevanje hidrokinona, etrov hidrokinona in kortikosteroidov v kozmetičnih izdelkih za beljenje kože
ICS: 71.100.70
Ta evropski standard določa metodo HPLC/UV za določevanje hidrokinona, 3 etrov hidrokinona in 4 kortikosteroide, ki so najpogosteje prisotni v nezakonito prodajanih kozmetičnih izdelkih za beljenje kože: klobetazol propionat, betametazon dipropionat, fluocinonid in fluocinolon acetonid.
Ta standard podaja tudi metode HPLC/UV za identifikacijo 38 kortikosteroidov, ki jih je mogoče najti v izdelkih za beljenje kože. Ker je kortikosteroide mogoče namerno vnesti v kozmetične izdelke za beljenje kože kljub temu, da je njihova uporaba prepovedana, se lahko na podlagi ugotovljene prisotnosti ene od teh nezakonitih spojin uvede nadzor, ki temelji na raziskavi trga.
Uporaba tega standarda ni predvidena za umetne izdelke za nego nohtov ali mila.

European foreword This document (EN 16956:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 392 “Cosmetics”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2018, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 2018. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The existing peer review validation data for hydroquinone are preliminary and will be supplemented by inter-laboratory test data if available. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. SIST EN 16956:2017
Introduction Hydroquinone is not allowed for use in cosmetic products for skin whitening and depigmentation of dermal spots or imperfections. Due to its cytotoxic effects its use has been regulated. Hydroquinone and 3 of its ethers (hydroquinone monomethylether (MME), hydroquinone monoethylether (MEE) and hydroquinone monobenzylether (MBE)) are regulated by the cosmetic regulation 1223/2009. Nowadays the use of these substances is prohibited in skin whitening cosmetic products. Depigmentation is a side effect of topical steroids, in this way corticosteroids might be used as compounds in products illegally sold as cosmetics. Corticosteroids most commonly found in these products are clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide, betamethasone dipropionate, and fluocinolone acetonide (see Figure 1). Corticosteroids are listed in Regulation 1223/2009 Annex II “List of substances prohibited in cosmetic products” (reference number 300), and their use is also prohibited in cosmetic products.
a) Clobetasol propionate b) Fluocinonide c) Betamethasone dipropionate d) Fluocinolone Acetonide Figure 1 — Corticosteroids most commonly found in illegal cosmetics All these substances work on the same principle as hydroquinone which mainly consists of inhibition of melanin synthesis. The cosmetic directive 95/32/EC [2] gives an analytical method for the assay of hydroquinone and 3 of its ethers (hydroquinone monomethylether (MME), hydroquinone monoethylether (MEE) and hydroquinone monobenzylether (MBE)) in cosmetic products for lightening the skin. In order to update and extend this official method to the identification and assay of corticosteroids in cosmetic products, this standard describes an HPLC/UV method for the identification and assay of hydroquinone, ethers of hydroquinone and corticosteroids in cosmetic products.

1 Scope This European Standard specifies a HPLC/UV method for the identification and quantification of hydroquinone, 3 ethers of hydroquinone and 4 corticosteroids most frequently found in illegally sold skin whitening cosmetic products: clobetasol propionate, betamethasone dipropionate, fluocinonide and fluocinolone acetonide. This standard also gives HPLC/UV methods for the identification of 38 corticosteroids that may be found in skin whitening cosmetic products (see Annex D). This standard is not dedicated to artificial nail products or soaps. 2 Principle The sample is extracted by a mixture of water/methanol and gently warmed in order to extract compounds present in the product. The obtained mixture is filtered. The quantitation of present compounds in solution is made by reversed phase HPLC with DAD (Diode Array Detector) detection. 3 Reagents If not otherwise specified, analytical-grade chemicals shall be used; the water shall be distilled or of a corresponding purity. “Solution” shall be understood as an aqueous solution unless otherwise specified. 3.1 Methanol, HPLC grade. 3.2 Water, HPLC grade. 3.3 Extraction solution, methanol/water (1/1). Mix 500 ml of methanol (3.1) and 500 ml of water (3.2) in a 1 000 ml conical flask. 3.4 Compounds considered, see Table 1. Table 1 — Compounds considered Compound
