Textiles - Methods for determination of certain aromatic amines derived from azo colorants - Part 1: Detection of the use of certain azo colorants accessible with and without extracting the fibres

This part of EN 14362 describes a procedure to detect the use of certain azo colorants that may not be used in the manufacture or treatment of certain commodities made of textile fibres and that are accessible to reducing agent with and without extraction.
Azo colorants accessible to reducing agent without extraction are those used to dye:
   cellulosic fibres (e.g. cotton, viscose);
   protein fibres (e.g. wool, silk);
   synthetic fibres (e.g. polyamide, acrylic).
Azo colorants accessible with extraction are those used to dye man-made fibres with disperse dyes. The following man-made fibres can be dyed with disperse dyes: polyester, polyamide, acetate, triacetate, acrylic and chlorofibre.
For certain commodities made of cellulose and/or protein fibres blended with man-made fibres it is necessary to extract the dye first.
NOTE   The method is relevant for all coloured textiles, e.g. dyed, printed and coated textiles.

Due to detection limits, only aniline may be detected. The presence of these colorants should be tested by EN 14362-3. SIST EN 14362-1:2012



EN 14362-1:2012 (E) 7 4 Principle After selection of a coloured test specimen from the textile article, the test specimen is tested according to the method of colorant extraction for disperse dyes and/or the method of direct reduction for the other classes of dyes. The application of the combined methods or one of the two methods is based on the nature of the fibre(s) of the test specimen (composed of pure fibre or of fibre blends) and the colour treatment (dyeing or printing process). When relevant, if the test specimen is not discoloured during the application of one of the two methods, the other one is carried out. When the method of the colorant extraction for disperse dyes is carried out, the colorant is first extracted from the fibre in the headspace (see Figure 1) using chlorobenzene under reflux. The extract is concentrated and transferred to the reaction vessel with methanol for subsequent reduction with sodium dithionite in a citrate-buffered aqueous solution (pH = 6) at 70 °C. If the textile specimen is not completely discoloured after chlorobenzene extraction, the specimen is added to the reaction vessel with the methanolic solution of the dispersed dye for combined reduction. When the method for the other classes of the dyes is carried out, the test specimen is treated with sodium dithionite in a citrate-buffered aqueous solution (pH = 6) at 70 °C in a closed vessel. After the reduction, any amine released in the process is transferred to a t-butyl methyl ether phase by means of liquid-liquid extraction using diatomaceous earth columns. The t-butyl methyl ether extract is then concentrated, and the residue is taken up in a solvent appropriate for detection and determination of the amines using chromatography (see Annex A). A screening method, using liquid/liquid extraction without diatomaceous earth columns, is described in Annex E. If any amine is detected by one chromatographic method, then confirmation shall be made using one or more alternative methods. 5 Safety precautions 5.1 WARNING — The substances [amines] listed in Clause 3 are classified as substances known to be or suspected of being human carcinogens. Any handling and disposal of these substances shall be in strict accordance with the appropriate national health and safety regulations. 5.2 It is the user’s responsibility to use safe and proper techniques in handling materials in this test method. Consult manufacturers for specific details such as material safety data sheets and other recommendations. 5.3 Good laboratory practice should be followed. Wear safety glasses in all laboratory areas and a single-use dust respirator while handling powder colorants. 5.4 Users should comply with any national and local safety regulations. 6 Reagents Unless otherwise specified, analytical grade chemicals shall be used. 6.1 Chlorobenzene. 6.2 Acetonitrile. 6.3 Methanol.

EN 14362-1:2012 (E) 10 8 Test specimen sampling and preparation 8.1 General The test specimen shall be selected based on the following criteria:  Parts of the textile article;  Nature of the fibre components (fibre composition);  Printed materials;  Colours. Prepare the test specimen by cutting in order to obtain a total mass of 1 g. For specimens to be submitted to colorant extraction (9.1) cut into strips (if apparatus described in 7.1 is used) or cut into small pieces if other apparatus is used or for specimens to be submitted only to reductive cleavage (9.3). 8.2 Textile article If the textile article is a semi-manufactured product, such as yarns, fabrics, etc., cut out test specimens from it. If the textile article is composed of several parts of textile products, such as a garment, cut out test specimens from all the parts of the textile article that have direct and prolonged contact to skin or mouth, which can be:  principal fabric(s);  lining(s);  pocket fabric(s);  embroideries;  label(s) for textile article;  drawstring(s);  fastener(s);  false fur;  sewing threads. If the mass of some parts (e.g. labels, sewing threads, embroideries of small size) does not reach the mass (1 g) to be tested, gather identical parts when possible. If the total mass of material is below 0,5 g, this material is defined as a minor component. (See NOTE 2, Annex C.) Below 0,2 g of material the analysis is omitted. Embroideries shall be weighed with the ground fabric. 8.3 Fibre composition As the application of this standard is partly based on the extraction of colorants, identify the nature of the textile components so that the possible use of disperse dyestuffs can be determined. Table 2 summarizes the four cases: SIST EN 14362-1:2012

The rules have been listed in order of preference:  Select the three colours from the same part of the textile article; SIST EN 14362-1:2012



EN 14362-1:2012 (E) 12  If the three colours do not come from the same part of the textile article, select these three colours from textile parts made of the same type of textile fibre;  If the three colours do not come from the same part of the textile article and do not come from the same type of textile fibre, select these three colours from textile parts on which the same procedure shall be applied. 8.6.3 Preparation of the three colour test specimen Each colour shall have approximately the same weight in order to obtain the total mass of 1 g. If the result of the combined test specimen is in the range between 5 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg of any of the named amines, separate testing is necessary as the result of testing a single colour test specimen may exceed 30 mg/kg. The quantification limits shall be documented for every amine by internal validation procedures. 9 Procedure 9.1 Colorant extraction for disperse dyes 9.1.1 Extraction of disperse dyes with chlorobenzene The textile specimen dyed with disperse dyes is kept in the extractor according to (7.1) for 30 min above 25 ml boiling chlorobenzene. The chlorobenzene extract is allowed to cool down to room temperature before detaching it from the extractor.
Concentrate the chlorobenzene extract in the evaporation apparatus at a temperature of 45 °C to 60 °C to a small residual quantity. This residue is quantitatively transferred to the reaction vessel with two portions of 1 ml methanol using an ultrasonic bath to disperse the colorant. 9.1.2 Textiles only dyed with disperse dyes Remove the textile specimen from the extractor and discard it if it is completely made of fibres dyed with disperse dyes and/or becomes decolourised after extraction. 9.1.3 Textiles dyed with disperse dyes and/or other dyes Remove, from the extractor, the extracted textile specimen if it contains fibres
