IS 6608:2004 Skin Creams - Specification

This Bureau of Indian Standards specification covers skin creams. It requires skin creams to meet Table 1 and related specific requirements, including a heavy-metals limit calculated as lead and an arsenic limit expressed as arsenic trioxide. The lead value is routeable to the register; the arsenic value is documented on the regulation page and gap-logged because it is stated as As2O3 rather than elemental arsenic.
