Leather - Chemical tests - Determination of matter soluble in dichloromethane and free fatty acid content (ISO 4048:2018)

This document specifies a method for the determination of the substances in leather which are soluble
in dichloromethane. This method is applicable to all types of leather.
Not all fatty and similar substances can be extracted from leather with organic solvents; they may be
in part soluble and partly bound to the leather. On the other hand, the solvent can dissolve non-fatty
substances, for example sulfur and impregnants, both of which cause difficulty in the determination of
the acid value and saponification value of the fat.
This document includes two techniques for extraction of the fatty substances: 1) extraction using the
Soxhlet apparatus; and 2) extraction using a pressurized extraction system.
As the extraction is frequently done in conjunction with determination of the free fatty acid content of
the leather, a suitable procedure for determination of the free fatty acids extracted by this method is
included.
The apparatus and technique described in this method are also suitable for the extraction by solvents
other than dichloromethane (although the temperature conditions may need to be varied for high
pressure extraction).

Leder - Chemische Prüfungen - Bestimmung der in Dichlormethan löslichen Substanzen und des freien Fettsäuregehalts (ISO 4048:2018)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der in Dichlormethan löslichen Stoffe in Leder fest. Dieses Verfahren ist auf alle Lederarten anwendbar.
Nicht alle Fette und ähnlichen Stoffe können mit organischen Lösemitteln aus Leder extrahiert werden; sie können zum Teil löslich und zum Teil an das Leder gebunden sein. Andererseits können durch das Lösungsmittel Nichtfettstoffe, z. B. Schwefel und Imprägniermittel, herausgelöst werden, die beide Schwierig¬keiten bei der Bestimmung der Säurezahl und der Verseifungszahl der Fette verursachen.
Dieses Dokument enthält zwei Verfahren zur Extraktion von Fettstoffen:
1)   Extraktion mit Soxhlet Gerät und
2)   Extraktion mit Hochdrucksystem.
Da die Extraktion häufig in Verbindung mit der Bestimmung des Gehalts an freien Fettsäuren im Leder erfolgt, ist ein geeignetes Verfahren zur Bestimmung der mit diesen Verfahren extrahierten freien Fett-säuren enthalten.
Das in diesem Verfahren beschriebene Gerät und die Durchführung sind auch für die Extraktion mit anderen Lösemitteln als Dichlormethan geeignet (obwohl es erforderlich sein kann, die Temperaturbedingungen bei der Hochdruckextraktion zu verändern).

Cuir - Essais chimiques - Dosage des matières solubles dans le dichlorométhane et des acides gras libres (ISO 4048:2018)

Le présent document spécifie une méthode de dosage des substances contenues dans le cuir et solubles dans le dichlorométhane. Cette méthode est applicable à tous les types de cuir.
Il n'existe aucun solvant organique capable d'extraire toutes les graisses et les matières analogues d'un cuir; celles-ci peuvent être en partie solubles et en partie combinées au cuir. D'autre part, le solvant peut dissoudre des matières non graisseuses, par exemple du soufre et des produits d'imprégnation et, dans l'un et l'autre cas, la détermination de l'indice d'acide et de l'indice de saponification des graisses est rendue difficile.
Le présent document inclut deux techniques d'extraction des matières grasses: 1) extraction à l'aide d'un appareil de Soxhlet et 2) extraction à l'aide d'un système d'extraction sous pression.
L'extraction étant fréquemment effectuée parallèlement à la détermination de la teneur en acides gras libres du cuir, un mode opératoire de détermination des acides gras libres extraits selon cette méthode est également inclus.
L'appareillage et la technique décrite dans la présente méthode sont également utilisables pour des extractions effectuées avec d'autres solvants que le dichlorométhane (même s'il peut être nécessaire de faire varier les conditions de température pour l'extraction à haute pression).

Usnje - Kemijski preskusi - Določevanje topne snovi v diklormetanu in vsebnosti prostih maščobnih kislin (ISO 4048:2018)

Ta dokument podaja metodo za določevanje snovi v usnju, ki so topne v diklorometanu. Ta metoda se uporablja se za vse vrste usnja.
Vseh maščobnih in podobnih snovi ni mogoče izločiti iz usnja z organskimi topili; lahko so delno topna in delno vezana na usnje. Po drugi strani pa se v topilu lahko raztopijo nemaščobne snovi, npr. žveplo in impregnacijske snovi, pri čemer oboji povzročajo težave pri določevanju kislinskega števila in števila umiljenja maščobe.
Ta dokument vključuje dve tehniki izločanja maščobnih snovi: 1) izločanje z uporabo aparata Soxhlet; in 2) izločanje z uporabo sistema izločanja pod tlakom.
Ker se izločanje pogosto izvaja skupaj z določevanjem vsebnosti prostih maščobnih kislin v usnju, je vključen ustrezen postopek za določevanje vsebnosti prostih maščobnih kislin, izločenih po tej metodi.
Aparat in tehnika, ki sta opisana v tej metodi, sta primerna tudi za izločanje s topili, ki niso diklorometan (čeprav je morda treba temperaturo prilagoditi izločanju pod visokim tlakom).

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).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

This document was prepared by the Chemical Tests Commission of the International Union of Leather
Technologists and Chemists Societies (IUC 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 co-operation between ISO and
CEN (Vienna Agreement).
It is based on IUC 4 published in J. Soc. Leather Tech. Chem., 49, p. 10, 1965, and declared an official
method of the IULTCS in 1965.
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 the sampling and the testing of leather.
ISO recognizes IULTCS as an international standardizing body for the preparation of test methods for
leather.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 4048:2008), which has been technically
revised as follows:
— 5.1 text for dichloromethane has been simplified;
— Clause 7 has been revised to allow analysis of a single sample, for example when too little sample is
available;
— 8.1 has been revised to allow a smaller sample for determining only dichloromethane soluble
substances;
— 8.2.1 and 8.3 have been revised to define a drying time of at least 6 h, and the last paragraph of 8
