EN ISO 17234-2 Leather Determination of aromatic amines derived from azo dyes
Our laboratory is dedicated to providing comprehensive testing services for the textile sector, with particular emphasis on ensuring compliance and safety in the use of materials. One such service is our EN ISO 17234-2 Leather Determination of aromatic amines derived from azo dyes test. This service ensures that leather products are free from harmful substances that could pose risks to human health.
The EN ISO 17234-2 standard focuses on the determination of aromatic amines derived from azo dyes in leather. Azo dyes are widely used in textile and leather industries due to their colorfastness properties, but some of them can release carcinogenic aromatic amines under certain conditions. By using this test method, we can accurately identify whether these harmful substances exceed the permissible limits set by international regulations.
The testing process involves several steps: first, samples are prepared according to standard procedures. Then, they undergo extraction and purification processes designed to separate the azo dyes from other components in the sample. After that, the extracted substances are analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which is an analytical technique capable of separating complex mixtures into individual components.
The results of this analysis provide precise quantitative data about the presence and concentration levels of aromatic amines derived from azo dyes in leather samples. These findings are crucial for ensuring product safety, especially when dealing with items that come into direct contact with skin like footwear or clothing accessories.
Our team of experienced chemists ensures that every sample is handled meticulously throughout the entire process to maintain accuracy and reliability. Compliance with such stringent standards not only protects end consumers but also helps manufacturers meet regulatory requirements across various markets worldwide.
