What is Formaldehyde Determination and Why is it Important?
Formaldehyde is a widely used chemical in textiles and can be harmful to human health if present at high levels. Therefore, the determination of free and hydrolyzed formaldehyde in textiles is a critical test. At USB Certification laboratory, we perform these tests in accordance with TS EN ISO 14184-1:2011 standard.
What is Formaldehyde Determination and Why is it Important?
The TS EN ISO 14184-1: 2011 standard is an internationally recognized test method for the determination of free and hydrolyzed formaldehyde in textile products by water extraction. This standard provides for the determination of formaldehyde levels in textile products and evaluates whether these levels are within certain legal limits.
Importance of Formaldehyde Determination Tests
Formaldehyde determination tests are vital to determine whether textile products contain chemicals that are harmful to human health. These tests help to ensure that your products meet the necessary requirements for CE certification processes and also give your products a competitive advantage in the market.
Importance in terms of Environment and Area of Use
Formaldehyde can pose a major risk, especially in products that come into direct contact with human skin, such as clothing and home textiles. Therefore, determining the formaldehyde content of your products ensures that they can be used safely and in compliance with regulations in a variety of industrial and consumer applications.
Formaldehyde Determination Test Process in Our Laboratory
In our laboratory, formaldehyde determination is performed by treating samples by water extraction and then analyzing them with a UV-VIS spectrophotometer. This process involves treating the samples with appropriate reagents, heating them in a water bath and then measuring the absorbance with a spectrophotometer.
Sample Preparation and Test Process
The testing process begins with the proper preparation and analysis of samples in a laboratory setting. The samples are extracted according to specific procedures and then analyzed with a spectrophotometer. The results determine whether the products contain free and hydrolyzed formaldehyde and are reported.
