Chromium VI Content in Skin Testing Services
Chromium VI content in leather products is of great importance for human health and the environment. Our laboratory offers tests for the chemical determination of Chromium VI content in leather using HPLC DAD in accordance with ISO 17075-2:2017. These tests are critical to ensure that your products comply with safety standards and gain a competitive advantage in international markets.
Chromium VI Content Tests
Definition and Importance of the Test
Chromium VI (hexavalent chromium) is a toxic compound that can occur in leather processing processes. The presence of this compound in leather products must be strictly controlled, especially as it can cause allergic reactions and environmental damage. Testing for chromium VI content is a critical step to assess the human health suitability and environmental safety of leather products.
Test Procedure
Chromium VI content testing is performed in accordance with ISO 17075-2:2017. This method can measure the Chromium VI content in leather up to 3 mg/kg. First, the leather sample is prepared in small pieces according to ISO 4044:2017. The sample is extracted using phosphate buffer and the filtrate is analyzed by HPLC DAD (High Performance Liquid Chromatography – Diode Array Detector). This process reliably determines the amount of Chromium VI in the sample.
Safety and Quality Control
In our laboratory, all necessary safety precautions are taken to perform tests safely. Personal protective equipment such as masks, face shields, goggles and gloves must be worn during work. In addition, all tests are performed in accordance with the “Guide to Analytical Internal Quality Control Practices”, which guarantees the reliability and accuracy of the test results.
Reporting of Test Results
Evaluation of Results
Test results are reported as the Chromium VI content of the sample in mg/kg. The reporting includes details such as the standard used, description of the sample, analytical methods and recovery rate. It also indicates whether the results obtained for the Chromium VI content are above the established limit values.
Application Areas
Chromium VI content testing is critical for leather goods manufacturers, importers and quality control laboratories. These tests ensure that your products comply with regulatory requirements, while helping to maintain consumer confidence and brand reputation.
