1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the determination of the total metal content
in leather using digestion of the leather and subsequent determination with inductively
coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), inductively coupled plasma
mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) or spectrometry of
atomic fluorescence (SFA).
This method determines the total metal content in leather. It is not compound-specific
or specific to the oxidation state of the metals.
The method is applicable for determining the following metals:
Aluminium (Al)
Copper (Cu)
Potassium (K)
Antimony (Sb)
Iron (Fe)
Selenium (Se)
Arsenic (As)
Lead (Pb)
Silicon (Si)
Barium (Ba)
Magnesium (Mg)
...
