Standard Test Methods for Sulfates in Leather (Total, Neutral, and Combined Acid)
SCOPE
1.1 These test methods are intended for use in determining the total, neutral, and combined acid sulfate in mineral-tanned leather.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
