ICONTEC in Colombia proposes technical standards for cosmetics
ICONTEC, the Colombian standards organization is putting forth a proposal encompassing three technical standards pertaining to the realm of cosmetics. While these ICONTEC standards begin as voluntary guidelines, they could potentially become obligatory if they are incorporated by reference into a Colombian law or regulation. These three standards are presently open for public feedback on the ICONTEC platform until November 6, 2023. It is worth noting that these standards draw their foundation from pre-existing ISO counterparts:
NTC-ISO 11930:2018 - Assessing the antimicrobial protection of a cosmetic product.
NTC-ISO-TR 17276 - Employing an analytical approach for the screening and quantification methods of heavy metals in cosmetics.
NTC-ISO-21392 - Quantifying traces of heavy metals in finished cosmetic products utilizing the ICP/MS technique.
