Leather - Chemical determination of metal content - Part 2: Total metal content (ISO/DIS 17072-2:2017); German and English version prEN ISO 17072-2:2017
This part of ISO 17072 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), or inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), or atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) or spectrometry of atomic fluorescence (SFA).This method determines the total metal content in leather; it is not compound-specific or specific to the oxidation state of the metals.
