Our testing laboratory performs the analysis in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14184‑1 (Determination of formaldehyde content – Part 1: Free and hydrolyzed formaldehyde, extraction method) professionally and using an accredited testing procedure.
This standard specifies a standardized chemical analysis method for the quantitative determination of formaldehyde content in textile samples, specifically measuring both free formaldehyde and formaldehyde released through hydrolysis from fixed compounds, using a defined extraction procedure.
Laboratory testing principle: First, formaldehyde is extracted from the material by water under controlled conditions. The resulting extract contains the portion of free and hydrolyzed formaldehyde, which is subsequently determined using a colorimetric detection method.
Testing according to DIN EN ISO 14184‑1 provides reliable quantitative information on formaldehyde content. These data are crucial for quality assessment, chemical safety evaluation, and ensuring compliance with product specifications and regulatory requirements in the textile and consumer goods industry.
