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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

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.
This document was prepared by the Chemical Test Commission of the International Union of Leather
Technologists and Chemists Societies (IUC Commission, IULTCS), in collaboration with the European
Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 289, Leather, in accordance with the
Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).

Introduction
This document includes a procedure for analysing melamine in leather tanning chemicals using liquid
chromatography (LC) equipment.
In the leather industry, melamine can be present as a residual monomer in resins based on the polymerisation
of melamine, where melamine-formaldehyde resin is the more typical. This type of resin is present in
chemical products such as melamine-formaldehyde resin or compound products and is used in the retanning
stage of the tanning process.
At present, the official European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) classification recognized in the European Union
(EU) for Melamine is the following:
[1]
— Substance of very high concern (SVHC) and included in the candidate list for authorisation ;
[2]
— Suspected to be Carcinogenic ;
[2]
— Under assessment as Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic ;
[2]
— Under assessment as Endocrine Disrupting .

Chemicals for the leather tanning industry – Determination of
the total content of melamine
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for determining the total content (solvent extractable) of melamine in
chemicals for the leather tanning industry.
This method requires the use of liquid chromatography (LC) with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer
(MS/MS), an ultraviolet (UV) detector, or diode array detector (DAD) to identify and quantify the melamine.
