Overview
SIST EN ISO 15703:2000 is an international standard specifying a standardized method for testing the colour fastness of leather to mild washing. Developed by ISO and the International Union of Leather Technologists and Chemists Societies (IULTCS), this standard defines the procedures to assess how leather retains its color and finish after exposure to gentle washing conditions. It is essential for leather manufacturers, quality control laboratories, and product developers aiming to evaluate the durability and performance of leather materials when subjected to mild washing processes.
Key Topics
Scope and Purpose
This standard applies to assessing the resistance of leather colour to mild washing, including the evaluation of colour change, staining on adjacent textiles, and any alteration to the leather finish. It also covers applicability for evaluating other physical or chemical changes due to washing.Test Methodology
The method involves creating a composite specimen of leather and an adjacent textile fabric. This composite is then agitated in a washing liquor at 30 °C using PTFE rods in a rotating drum for 30 minutes. The process includes two rinsing steps and controlled drying under standard conditions.Assessment Criteria
Colour changes are visually assessed using standard grey scales or instrumentally via ISO methods for colour change and staining. Any finish alteration in the leather after washing is noted.Test Apparatus and Materials
- Rotating drum with a 500 ml capacity
- PTFE rods (20 mm length, 7-9 mm diameter)
- Adjacent plain-weave multifibre fabric (ISO 105-F10 standard)
- Detergent typically sodium lauryl sulfate
- Grade 3 analytical water as per ISO 3696
- Grey scales for colour change (ISO 105-A02) and staining (ISO 105-A03)
Reporting Requirements
The test report must include reference to the standard, descriptions of the tested leather and adjacent fabric, detergent details, apparatus used, greyscale ratings for colour change and staining, any finish changes, deviations from the procedure, and test date.
Applications
Leather Quality Assurance
Ensures leather products maintain color integrity and quality during mild washing, critical for consumer satisfaction and durability.Product Development
Assists manufacturers in optimizing leather treatments and finishes to improve washing fastness performance.Compliance Testing
Used by regulatory bodies and industry to certify leather products against colour fastness standards before market release.Research and Innovation
Enables testing of new leather finishes, dyes, and treatments to develop more robust and sustainable leather goods.

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.
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.
International Standard ISO 15703 was prepared by the Fastness Tests
Commission of the International Union of Leather Technologists and
Chemists Societies (IUF Commission, IULTCS). It is based on IUF 423
published in J. Soc. Leather Tech. Chem., 76, pp. 179-180 (1992), and
declared an official method of the IULTCS in October 1993.

3 Principle
A composite specimen of the leather and an adjacent textile fabric is agitated together with
PTFE rods in a washing liquor, rinsed and then squeezed and dried. The change in colour of
the leather and the adjacent textile fabric are assessed with the standard grey scales and, if
applicable, any changes in the finish are noted.
The general colour fastness testing principles used are in accordance with those described in
ISO 105-A01, taking into account the differences between textile substrates and leather.
