# Determination and quantification of mercury traces in cosmetics according to ISO 23674 AND 23821

## Would you like to determine and quantify the presence of mercury traces in cosmetic products according to ISO 23674 AND 23821?

### Why determine and quantify the presence of mercury traces in cosmetic products according to ISO 23674 AND 23821?

First of all, the [ISO/FDIS 23674](https://www.iso.org/standard/76615.html) standard concerns the determination of the presence of **mercury traces in cosmetic products**. Indeed, ISO 23674 describes in detail the **direct method for determining mercury traces in cosmetics** by **thermal decomposition** and **atomic absorption spectrometry**.

[ISO 23821](https://www.iso.org/fr/standard/77054.html), for its part, concerns the quantification of mercury traces by **atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS)** of cold vapor after pressure digestion.

Mercury is a toxic substance whose presence is very strictly controlled and may prevent products from being placed on the market.

As such, the support of a competent laboratory in the determination and quantification of mercury traces in cosmetics according to ISO 23674 and ISO 23821 is essential as part of quality control or a cosmetic product manufacturing process.

## FILAB supports you in the determination and quantification of mercury traces in your cosmetic products according to ISO 23674 AND 23821
