It targets the potential chemical and biological hazards such as heavy metals, allergenic and carcinogenic substances, formaldehyde, and pathogenic microorganisms that may exist in the procurement of raw materials, production and processing, and even wearing and use. It stipulates physical and chemical indicators and microbiological indicators such as formaldehyde, pH value, odor, color fastness to friction, color fastness to perspiration, color fastness to water, extractable heavy metals, harmful dyes, and banned flame retardants, and clarifies the corresponding inspection methods, filling the gap in the general technical specifications of hair products at home and abroad.
