Textiles - Determination of formaldehyde - Part 2: Released formaldehyde (vapour absorption method) (ISO 14184-2:1998) EN ISO 14184-2:1998

Publication date:   Jan 1, 1999

Scope

This standard specifies a method for determining the amount of formaldehyde released under the conditions of accelerated storage from textiles in any form by means of a vapour absorption method. The procedure is intended for use in the range of releasable formaldehyde on the fabric between 20 mg/kg and 3500 mg/kg when determined by this method. The lower limit is 20 mg. Below this limit the result is reported as "not-detectable". A method for determination of free formaldehyde and formaldehyde extracted partly through hydrolysis in aqueous solution is given in ISO 14184-1.
