ISO 4047 Leather — Determination of Dye ContentISO 4047 Leather Determination of Dye Content: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service
ISO 4047 is an international standard that specifies the method for determining the dye content of leather products. This standard is widely recognized and adopted by various industries, including fashion, automotive, and footwear. The standard provides a reliable and accurate means of determining the amount of dyes used in the production of leather goods.
The Legal and Regulatory Framework
The use of ISO 4047 is mandatory for many industries, particularly those regulated by laws such as the European Unions REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation. This regulation requires manufacturers to provide detailed information on the chemical composition of their products, including dyes.
In addition, various national standards have been developed based on ISO 4047. For example, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has published a similar standard, ASTM D1600-10, which provides a method for determining the dye content of leather products.
International and National Standards
ISO 4047 is part of a larger family of standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Other relevant standards include:
