Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 17234-2 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 289, Leather, in collaboration with the Chemical Test Commission of the International Union of
Leather Technologists and Chemists Societies (IUC Commission, IULTCS), in accordance with the
Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement). This method is technically
similar to the method in IUC 20-2.
IULTCS, originally formed in 1897, is a world-wide organization of professional leather societies to further the
advancement of leather science and technology. IULTCS has three Commissions, which are responsible for
establishing international methods for the sampling and testing of leather. ISO recognizes IULTCS as an
international standardizing body for the preparation of test methods for leather.
ISO 17234 consists of the following parts, under the general title Leather — Chemical tests for the
determination of certain azo colorants in dyed leathers:
⎯ Part 1: Determination of certain aromatic amines derived from azo colorants
⎯ Part 2: Determination of 4-aminoazobenzene

Leather — Chemical tests for the determination of certain azo
colorants in dyed leathers —
Part 2:
Determination of 4-aminoazobenzene
1 Scope
This part of ISO 17234 is supplementary to ISO 17234-1 and describes a special procedure to detect the use
of certain azo colorants in commodities, which can release 4-aminoazobenzene. The procedure also detects
4-aminoazobenzene (Solvent Yellow 1) which is already available as free amine in commodities without
reducing pretreatment.
Azo colorants that are able to form 4-aminoazobenzene generate, under the conditions of ISO 17234-1, the
amines aniline and 1,4-phenylenediamine. The presence of these 4-aminoazobenzene colorants cannot be
reliably ascertained without additional information (e.g. the chemical structure of the colorant used) or without
a special procedure.
The use of certain azo colorants, which may release, by reductive cleavage of their azo group(s), one or more
of the other aromatic amines listed in Annex XVII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 of the European
Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals
(REACH), except 4-aminoazobenzene, cannot be determined quantitatively with this method.
