Leather - Physical and mechanical test methods for the determination of soiling - Part 1: Rubbing (Martindale) method (ISO/DIS 26082-1:2025)

This document specifies a method for determining the resistance of all forms of leather to visible soiling through repeated contact with soiled objects. It provides a physical pretreatment routine for leathers that may be vulnerable to loss of soiling resistance while in service, prior to conducting further tests such as cleaning.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
IULTCS, originally formed in 1897, is a world-wide organization of professional leather societies to further
the advancement of leather science and technology. IULTCS has three Commissions, which are responsible
for establishing international methods for sampling and the testing of leather. ISO recognizes IULTCS as an
international standardizing body for the preparation of test methods for leather
This document was prepared by the Physical Tests Commission of the International Union of Leather
Technologists and Chemists Societies (IUP Commission, IULTCS) in collaboration with the European
Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 289, Leather, the secretariat of which
is held by UNI, in accordance with the agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna
Agreement).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 26082-1:2019), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— The method was updated to the latest versions of ISO 2418, ISO 2419, ISO 7906.
A list of all parts in the ISO 26082 series can be found on the ISO website.

3.1
soiling
change in colour of a leather test piece caused by rubbing a standard soiled fabric on the coated surface of
the leather
4 Principle
A test leather test piece is subjected to a rubbing-type soiling process under standard conditions and the
change in colour of the leather is evaluated.
A pretreatment to simulate wear and/or an after-treatment to test cleaning procedures is possible.
5 Apparatus and materials
Normal laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following.
5.1 Martindale abrasion apparatus, as specified in ISO 12947-1.
5.2 Abrasion test piece holder heads, for the Martindale apparatus (5.1) as defined in ISO 12947-1. The
holder shall be fitted with loading pieces so that the sum of the mass of the applied load and the mass of the
test piece holder assembly is (795 ± 10) g. This exerts a nominal pressure of 12 kPa on the test piece during
the test.
Use the abrasion option that forms a Lissajous figure with a (60 ± 1) mm stroke.
