DIN 54233-2 Testing of Textiles - Determination of Extractable Metals with Hydrochloric Acid

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of DIN 54233-2 test. This standard specifies which types of textile materials it applies to and which metals can be detected. 

The extraction method in acidic solution is used. This method involves contact of the sample with an acid solution, which liberates the metals in the solution. The solution is then prepared for extraction of metals by stirring for a certain period of time or by other suitable methods.

The sample is treated in a specific acid solution for a specific period of time. After the acidic extraction process is completed, the solution is usually separated by filtration or other suitable methods.

The resulting solution is usually analyzed by spectroscopic methods (e.g., Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) or Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)) to determine the amount of metal it contains.

This test is used to evaluate the amount of extractable metals contained in textile products. It is especially important to evaluate the potential effects of possible metals on the skin that comes into direct contact with textile products.
