EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN ISO 17231 testing. EN ISO 17231 IULTCS/IUP 37 specifies a method for determining the repellency of leather against surface wetting. It can be applied to all leather intended for use in clothing. The method does not determine the resistance of the leather to water penetration.
A specified volume of distilled or deionized water is sprayed onto a test piece mounted on a ring and placed at a 45° angle with the center of the test piece at a specified distance from the spray nozzle. The degree of sputtering is determined by comparing the appearance of the test piece to descriptive and photographic standards. The mass of water absorbed by the test piece is determined by weighing it before and after applying the water spray.
The standard deals with testing the physical and mechanical properties of leather. This includes evaluating various properties such as durability, flexibility and water resistance.
This part of the standard focuses on determining the water repellency of leather intended for use in clothing. Water resistance is a very important feature for clothing leather as it helps protect the leather from moisture and increases its durability and appearance.
In summary, EN ISO 17231 outlines procedures for testing the waterproofness of clothing leather. This is important to ensure that the leather used in clothing meets certain standards for resistance to water penetration.
