What is ISO 17072-2 - Chemical determination of total metal content of leather about?
ISO 17072-2 specifies a method for the determination of the total metal content in leather using digestion of the leather and subsequent determination with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) or spectrometry of atomic fluorescence (SFA).
ISO 17072‑2 is applicable for determining the following metals:
|
Aluminium (Al) |
Copper (Cu) |
Potassium (K) |
|
Antimony (Sb) |
Iron (Fe) |
Selenium (Se) |
|
Arsenic (As) |
Lead (Pb) |
Silicon (Si) |
|
Barium (Ba) |
Magnesium (Mg) |
Sodium (Na) |
|
Cadmium (Cd) |
Manganese (Mn) |
Tin (Sn) |
|
Calcium (Ca) |
Mercury (Hg) |
Titanium (Ti) |
|
Chromium (Cr) (except chromium-tanned leathers) |
Molybdenum (Mo) |
Zinc (Zn) |
|
Cobalt (Co) Nickel (Ni) Zirconium (Zr) |
|
Note: ISO 17072-2 is also suitable for determining Boron (B) in leather.
