What are Organic Tin Components and DOT and Why is it Important?
Organic tin compounds are chemicals used in footwear materials and can be harmful to human health if present at high levels. DOT (di-n-octyl tin dichloride) is an example of these compounds. Therefore, determining whether these harmful compounds are present in footwear materials is critical to both meeting regulatory requirements and ensuring consumer safety. At the USB Certification laboratory, we perform this testing in accordance with the ISO/TS 16179:2012 standard.
What is the ISO/TS 16179:2012 Standard?
The ISO/TS 16179:2012 standard is a test method for the determination of organic tin compounds in footwear materials. This standard aims to determine the level of organic tin compounds in footwear materials. The tests performed in our laboratory in accordance with this standard guarantee that your products comply with legal requirements.
Importance of Organic Tin Constituents Determination Tests
Organic tin compounds determination tests are vital to determine whether footwear materials 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
Organic tin compounds can pose a major risk, especially in footwear and similar products. Therefore, determining whether your products contain these harmful components ensures that they can be used safely and in compliance with regulations in a variety of industrial and consumer applications.
Test Process for Determination of Organic Tin Components in Our Laboratory
In our laboratory, the determination of organic tin compounds is carried out by extracting the samples with a methanol-ethanol mixture and then analyzing them by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). This process involves treating the samples with appropriate reagents, making them into a solution and analyzing them on a GC-MS instrument.
Sample Preparation and Test Process
The testing process begins with the proper preparation and analysis of the samples in a laboratory. The samples are extracted with a methanol-ethanol mixture and then analyzed in a GC-MS instrument. The results determine whether the products contain organic tin components and are reported.
