ISO 22517 discusses leather. Leather is a strong, flexible and durable material obtained from the tanning, or chemical treatment, of animal skins and hides to prevent decay. ISO 22517 specifies a quantitative test method to determine 24 kinds of pesticide residues in leather by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). ISO 22517 is applicable to all types of leather that could release pesticides.
ISO 22517 on leather is useful for:
Leather can be used to make a variety of items, including clothing, footwear, handbags, furniture, tools, and sports equipment, and lasts for decades. Pesticide residue testing as described in ISO 22517 is a process that identifies the pesticide residue levels in leather products through an in-depth chemical test and microbiological analysis that gives leather manufacturers and producers, confidence in their product ingredients. ISO 22517 determination of pesticide residues content from leather.
Determining the pesticides residues level from leather will benefit the final product of leather in terms of quality and comfortability as leather containing pesticides residues products used for the long term can harm the skin of the end-users so determining, it will help to make better results of the product. Using ISO 22517 you can specify a quantitative chemical test method to determine 24 kinds of pesticide residues in leather.
