Overview

EN ISO 13144:2025 (CEN adoption of ISO 13144:2025) specifies an analytical method for the qualification and quantification of quinoline, isoquinoline and selected quinoline derivatives in textiles and dyestuff powders. The method uses methanol extraction followed by analysis with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‑MS/GC‑MS/MS) or liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC‑MS/LC‑MS/MS). It is intended for natural and synthetic dyed fibres, fabrics and dyestuff powders used in dyeing and printing.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope & safety: Applies to textiles that may come into skin contact and to dyestuff powders; includes safety warning about hazardous reagents and equipment.
  • Extraction principle: Ultrasonic methanol extraction of test specimens (document notes use of an ultrasonic water bath around 70 °C).
  • Analytical techniques: Confirmatory and quantitative analysis by GC‑MS / GC‑MS/MS or LC‑MS / LC‑MS/MS.
  • Target substances: Quinoline, isoquinoline and a defined list of methyl- and dimethyl-quinoline/isoquinoline derivatives.
  • Sample prep:
    • Homogeneous specimens, cut into small pieces (approx. 0.3–0.5 cm edges).
    • White/undyed textile portions are assumed free of quinoline and normally excluded.
    • Up to three single-colour specimens (same mass) may be combined for testing where appropriate.
  • Standards & reagents: Stock standard solutions (e.g., 1 000 µg/ml in methanol) with light‑sensitive storage recommendations (brown bottle, ~6 °C); use of methanol, acetonitrile, ammonium acetate buffer and ISO‑grade water.
  • Apparatus: Analytical balance (0.1 mg), PTFE 0.45 µm filters, chromatographic vials, and MS detectors.
  • Quality assurance: Calibration curves, calculation procedures, method reliability and limits of quantification are defined in the document.

Applications and who uses it

  • Laboratories: Textile testing labs and contract analytical services performing compliance testing.
  • Manufacturers & dyers: Textile and dye producers for product safety control, incoming raw-material checks, and supplier monitoring.
  • Brand owners & retailers: Due diligence and verification against restricted‑substance requirements.
  • Regulators & certifiers: Enforcement or harmonized testing for restricted quinoline levels (quinoline is restricted in certain consumer textiles in the EU).
  • Environmental & safety consultants: Assessing downstream risks from dye residues.

Related standards

  • References analytical and laboratory practice standards cited in the document (e.g., ISO 3696 for laboratory water, ISO 4787 for volumetric instruments). For comprehensive compliance, use EN ISO 13144:2025 alongside applicable restricted‑substance regulations and textile testing standards.

ISO 13144:2025(en)
Introduction
Quinoline, which is used in certain dyes, is classified as a carcinogenic substance. It has a high solubility in
water and this tendency makes it of concern in manufacturing processes where the dyed textiles are washed.
It can also be found as residue in textiles and textile products where it can easily come into skin contact. A
series of studies have shown the potential harm to humans as well as downstream aquatic life. Quinoline is
thus restricted in the European Union in:
a) clothing or related accessories;
b) textiles other than clothing which, under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use, come into
contact with human skin to an extent similar to clothing;
[1]
c) footwear .
Quinoline derivatives are compounds that can be synthesized from a quinoline compound by replacement
of one atom with another atom or group of atoms. Considering their toxicity on several animal species, it is
important to set up an effective and precise test method to determine the content of them.
The test method described in this document is based on the use of gas chromatography with mass
spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

4 Principle
The quinoline derivatives are extracted from textile fibres and fabrics or dyestuff with methanol in an
ultrasonic water bath. The extract is analysed by means of gas chromatograph with mass selective detector
or liquid chromatograph with mass selective detector.
