Standards

This publication:

-                      Provides technical guidance on the storage and dispensing of petroleum products including petrol, diesel, autogas (also known as LPG) and biofuels (blends of petrol or diesel containing up to 10 % biomass derived component), used as fuels for motor vehicles, primarily at filling stations to which the general public have access.

-                      Covers civil, mechanical, hydraulic and electrical installation issues for the planning, design, construction, commissioning, modification, maintenance and decommissioning of filling stations.

-                      Provides information aimed at minimizing the risks from fire and explosion, to safety, health and to the environment.

-                      Describes good practice and certain legal requirements, particularly those applicable in the UK.

-                      Is primarily intended to be applicable to both new sites and existing sites that are modified/refurbished. The guidance should also be useful in providing a benchmark to assist the duty-holder to undertake periodic review of their risk assessment(s) required under specific legislation applying to the facilities.

-                      Provides general principles that may be applicable to other types of installation where fuels are stored and dispensed for non-retail use.

This standard applies to persons who carry out any of the business of cosmetology ,hairdressing ,barbering, shaving, manicure, pedicure, facial, body massaging and like crafts.

This standard specifies the requirements for the information to be included on labels of cosmetics and the method of display of such information. It shall be read in conjunction with GYS 9-1: 1994, “Specification for Labelling of Commodities – Part 1 : General principles”. This standard does not apply to drugs. Cosmetics which are intended to treat or prevent disease or affect the structure or function of the human body.

This standard specifies the general requirements for the manufacture of cosmetic products.  

This standard specifies the general requirements for water used in the preparation of cosmetics. It applies to all cosmetic products in which water is a basic raw material. Specifications for the design and maintenance of the system used in the production of the water are also included. Consideration has been given to the critical levels at which physical, chemical and bacteriological properties can affect the health of the consumer.

This standard is divided into two parts. Part 1 lists dyes, colours and pigments which are generally recognised as safe (GRAS) for use in cosmetics and toilet goods. Part 2 lists cosmetics, raw materials and adjuncts, other than dyes, colours and pigments which are generally not recognised as safe (GNRAS) for use in the manufacture of cosmetics and toilet goods.

This standard specifies reference methods for the qualitative and quantitative detection of micro-organisms in cosmetic products. Since the presence of some micro-organisms in cosmetic preparations constitutes a significant health hazard to the consumer, it is important that effective standard methods for the microbial analysis of cosmetics be used.  These methods are not considered final but are thought to be the most reliable at present.

This standard specifies the requirements for skin lotions and creams. It does not include products such as skin cleansing lotions and creams which are intended to affect the structure and function of the skin.

This standard prescribes the requirements and methods of sampling and test for liquid, crème paste and gel shampoo. The requirements include those for liquid shampoos based on soap as well as those based on synthetic detergents. This standard does not cover body shampoos.

This document specifies the general requirements and tests for safety devices for fuel gases and oxygen or compressed air which do not incorporate a flame (flashback) arrestor used downstream of manifold, cylinder and/or pipeline outlet regulators, and upstream of blowpipes for welding, cutting and allied processes. This document does not specify the location of these devices in the gas system. This document is not applicable to safety devices which incorporate a flame arrestor, covered by ISO 5175-1.
