EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 14362-1 standard. This European Standard describes a procedure for detecting the use of certain azo colorants that cannot be used in the manufacture or processing of certain products made from textile fibers and to which the reducing agent has access with and without extraction.
Azo colorants that are accessible without extraction with a reducing agent are those used for dyeing:
Extractable azo colorants are those used to dye synthetic fibers with disperse dyes. Polyester, polyamide, acetate, triacetate, acrylic, chloro fiber and synthetic fibers can be dyed with disperse dyes.
For certain products made from cellulose and/or protein fibers blended with synthetic fibers, it is necessary to remove the dye first. The method applies to all colored textiles, eg dyed, printed and coated textiles.
Certain azo colorants may release one or more of the aromatic amines by reductive cleavage of azo groups.
