Where a product is intended to be mixed with another product in specified proportions before use, the level of concentration shall be calculated by reference to the mixture. Other requirements are specified in column 4. In column 3 of this Schedule, the percentage concentration is measured by reference to mass (m/m) unless a contrary intention appears.

Names which appear in square brackets in column 2 are the International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient names of the substances in question given in the inventory of ingredients employed in cosmetic products drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Directive and contained in Commission Decision 96/335/EC(1)
