SIST EN 15987:2015는 가죽 무역 분야에서 사용되는 주요 용어와 정의를 규명하는 데 중점을 둔 유럽 표준이다. 이 표준은 "가죽"이라는 용어의 올바른 사용에 대한 지침을 제공함으로써 가죽 산업의 고유한 언어를 명확하게 설정하고 있다. 이 문서의 강점은 가죽 무역의 다양한 측면을 포괄적으로 아우르는 용어집을 제공한다는 점이다. 이는 가죽 제조업체, 공급업체, 구매자 등이 동일한 용어를 사용하게 함으로써 의사소통을 원활하게 하고, 산업 표준화에 기여한다. 특히, 개념의 일관성을 유지하며, 가죽 및 관련 제품의 품질과 안전성을 보장하는 데 필수적인 역할을 한다. 또한, 이 표준은 가죽에 대한 시험 방법과 관련된 매뉴얼 참조를 통해, 정의된 매개변수가 가죽 특성에 대한 표준 시험 방법을 통해 평가될 필요가 있음을 시사한다. 이로 인해, 가죽 무역의 진입 장벽이 낮아지고, 제품의 인정 및 품질 보증을 획득하기 위한 체계적인 접근이 가능해진다. SIST EN 15987:2015는 가죽 산업 내에서의 용어 표준화를 위한 필수적인 문서로, 가죽 무역의 모든 이해 관계자가 이 표준을 준수함으로써 산업의 투명성과 신뢰성을 높이는 데 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다. 이는 결과적으로 국제 무역에서도 중요한 요소로 작용하여, 가죽 무역의 글로벌 스탠다드 확립에 이바지할 수 있다.

Die EN 15987:2015 ist eine bedeutende europäische Norm, die sich mit der Terminologie und den Schlüsseldefinitionen für den Lederhandel befasst. Der Umfang dieser Norm ist speziell darauf ausgerichtet, klare und präzise Begriffe zu definieren, die im Kontext der Lederindustrie von entscheidender Bedeutung sind. Dies fördert nicht nur die Verständlichkeit innerhalb der Branche, sondern trägt auch zur Harmonisierung der Fachterminologie über Ländergrenzen hinweg bei.

Die Norm stellt sicher, dass die spezifischen Parameter, die zur Beurteilung von Leder verwendet werden, auf standardisierte Testmethoden zurückgreifen, die in der Normbibliographie vermerkt sind. Dies gewährleistet, dass die Bewertungen konsistent und vergleichbar sind, was für die Qualitätssicherung in der Lederindustrie von großer Bedeutung ist. Insgesamt ist die EN 15987:2015 eine essentielle Ressource für alle, die im Lederhandel tätig sind.
