Comprehensive Guide to ISO 17234 Azo Dye Release in Dyed and Printed Textiles Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

The textile industry has been under scrutiny for the potential health risks associated with azo dyes, which are commonly used in dyeing and printing processes. To address these concerns, international standards have been developed to ensure the safety of consumers and workers handling dyed or printed textiles.

Relevant Standards

  • ISO 17234-1:2014 - Textiles - Quantitative analysis of dyes - Part 1: Determination of azo colourants

  • ISO 17191-1:2017 - Textiles - Determination of certain colourants in dyes and printed textiles - Part 1: Azo colourants

  • EN 14362-1:2016 - Textiles - Quantitative analysis of dyes - Part 1: Determination of azo colourants

  • TSE ISO 17234-1:2017 - Tekstillerde boyaların analizinde, 1. bölüm: Azoboyalar

    • These standards provide guidelines for the quantitative analysis of azo colorants in dyed and printed textiles. They outline the methods for sampling, sample preparation, and measurement of azo dyes.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The development of international standards involves collaboration between standard development organizations (SDOs) such as ISO (International Organization for Standardization), ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), EN (European Committee for Standardization), and TSE (Turkish Standards Institution).

    These SDOs work together to ensure that standards are harmonized across countries and industries. They also review and update existing standards regularly to reflect advances in technology, changes in consumer needs, and new regulatory requirements.

    International and National Standards

    International standards such as ISO 17234-1:2014 and EN 14362-1:2016 provide a framework for testing azo dyes globally. However, national standards may also be applicable depending on the countrys regulations and industry requirements.

    For example, in Turkey, TSE ISO 17234-1:2017 is the national standard for determining azo colorants in textiles. Manufacturers and importers must comply with this standard to ensure that their products meet local regulatory requirements.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with standards such as ISO 17234-1:2014 and EN 14362-1:2016 is essential for textile manufacturers, importers, and exporters to access international markets. Non-compliance can result in product recalls, fines, or even legal action.

    Additionally, many retailers and brands require their suppliers to meet specific standard requirements as a condition of doing business with them.

    Why This Test Is Needed and Required

    Azo dyes have been linked to various health concerns, including cancer, genetic mutations, and allergic reactions. To mitigate these risks, it is essential to monitor the levels of azo dyes in dyed and printed textiles.
