OECD 428 Skin Absorption Testing of Formaldehyde in Textiles: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The OECD 428 skin absorption testing of formaldehyde in textiles is a laboratory test that evaluates the potential for formaldehyde to be absorbed through human skin when in contact with textile materials. This test is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • OECD 428: Skin Absorption: In Vivo Test

  • ISO 14144-1: Textiles - Determination of formaldehyde content using the microchromatographic method

  • ASTM D5116: Standard Practice for Determining Formaldehyde Content in Textiles Using a Microchromatographic Method

  • EN 14360: Textiles - Determination of formaldehyde content using a colorimetric method

    • These standards provide guidelines for the testing methodology, equipment, and quality control procedures to ensure accurate and reliable results.

    Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The OECD 428 skin absorption testing of formaldehyde in textiles is subject to various regulatory requirements and laws governing textile safety. For example:

  • Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006: Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)

  • US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA): Formaldehyde in Textiles

  • EU Regulation No 1275/2013: Textile products - Formaldehyde content

    • These regulations establish limits for formaldehyde content in textiles and require manufacturers to conduct testing according to specific standards.

    International and National Standards

    The OECD 428 skin absorption testing of formaldehyde in textiles is subject to various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO/IEC 17025: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • EN ISO 9001: Quality management systems - Requirements

  • ASTM E2500: Standard Practice for Addressing the Needs of Users and Providers of Calibration and Testing Services

    • These standards ensure that laboratory testing services, like Eurolabs, adhere to strict quality control procedures and provide reliable results.

    Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations (SDOs) play a crucial role in creating and maintaining standards. Some prominent SDOs involved in the creation of standards for textile testing include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO): Develops and publishes international standards

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM): Develops and publishes standards for various industries, including textiles

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN): Develops and publishes European standards

    • These SDOs collaborate with industry experts, governments, and other stakeholders to ensure that standards are relevant, effective, and up-to-date.

    Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changing requirements and technologies. This ensures that laboratory testing services remain aligned with the latest methodologies and regulations.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

    Some specific standard numbers and their scope include:

  • OECD 428: Skin Absorption: In Vivo Test - Evaluates skin absorption of chemicals, including formaldehyde

  • ISO 14144-1: Textiles - Determination of formaldehyde content using the microchromatographic method - Specifies a method for determining formaldehyde content in textiles

    • These standards provide detailed guidelines for conducting laboratory tests and ensure that results are accurate and reliable.

    Industry-Specific Examples and Case Studies

    Formaldehyde is commonly used in textile manufacturing, particularly in the production of rayon, cotton, and wool. However, excessive formaldehyde exposure can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and respiratory problems.

    To address these concerns, manufacturers must conduct regular testing to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. For example:

  • Case Study 1: A textile manufacturer uses Eurolabs OECD 428 skin absorption testing of formaldehyde in textiles to assess their products compliance with EU Regulation No 1275/2013.

  • Case Study 2: A fashion brand uses Eurolabs services to ensure that their formaldehyde-treated fabrics meet the requirements of the US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA).

    • These case studies demonstrate how Eurolabs laboratory testing services help manufacturers and brands maintain compliance with regulatory standards.

    Standard Compliance Requirements for Different Industries

    Textile industries, including:

  • Apparel: EU Regulation No 1275/2013 requires formaldehyde content to be below 100 ppm

  • Furniture: US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) sets limits for formaldehyde in textile products

    • These standards establish specific requirements for formaldehyde content, ensuring that manufacturers and brands prioritize consumer safety.

    Why This Test is Needed and Required

    The OECD 428 skin absorption testing of formaldehyde in textiles is essential for:

  • Ensuring Consumer Safety: By evaluating the potential for formaldehyde to be absorbed through human skin

  • Compliance with Regulations: Manufacturers must conduct regular testing to ensure compliance with regulatory limits

  • Maintaining Brand Reputation: Companies that prioritize consumer safety and comply with regulations maintain a positive brand reputation.
