ISO 24362 Azo Dyes Chemical Compliance Testing
The ISO 24362 standard provides a robust framework for testing azo dyes used in various industries, including textiles and leather. This service ensures that the chemicals used in these products do not contain harmful substances such as carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic (CMR) agents, which are classified under Annex II of this standard.
At our laboratory, we employ state-of-the-art analytical techniques to perform rigorous testing according to ISO 24362. Our team is highly skilled in handling complex samples and interpreting results with precision. The test involves extracting azo dyes from the sample material and breaking them down into their constituent parts for detailed analysis.
The process begins with thorough sample preparation, ensuring that all relevant compounds are extracted efficiently without causing contamination or degradation of the azo dye structures. This step is critical as it directly impacts the accuracy of subsequent analyses. Once prepared, the samples undergo extraction using appropriate solvents and methodologies specified in ISO 24362.
Our laboratory uses advanced chromatography systems to separate the components of the extracted mixture accurately. The separation allows for precise identification and quantification of each component, including potential CMR agents. After analysis, our experts compare the findings against the criteria outlined in ISO 24362 to determine compliance or non-compliance.
The importance of this testing cannot be overstated, especially given the stringent regulations governing textile and leather industries globally. Compliance with standards like ISO 24362 not only ensures product safety but also enhances brand reputation by demonstrating commitment to responsible manufacturing practices. By identifying prohibited azo dyes early in the production process, manufacturers can avoid costly recalls and potential legal issues.
Our comprehensive testing services cater specifically to the needs of quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams working within these sectors. With our expertise and advanced facilities, we ensure that every test conducted meets rigorous standards and delivers reliable results.
