DIN EN ISO 26082:2008 Leather - Physical and mechanical tests - Determination of soiling with rubbing for automotive leather (ISO 26082:2007); English version of DIN EN ISO 26082:2008-03
This International Standard specifies, for pigmented leathers, a method for the determination of the change in
colour of the leather after rubbing with a standard soiling cloth.
While this method could be used for all leathers, it is particularly applicable to upholstery leathers with a finish
coat, especially leather intended for automotive use.
The leather specimen can be pre-treated by abrasion or flexing to simulate wear. Additionally, after soiling, the
leather specimen could be subject to additional tests, such as ageing and cleaning.
