ISO 17228:2015 pdf download.Leather — Tests for colour fastness — Change in colour with accelerated ageing
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies various ageing procedures to obtain an indication of the changes that could occur when leather is exposed to a certain environment for a prolonged time. Over time, the surface colour of leather and the leather itself change due to ageing and to the action of the surroundings on the leather. The test conditions to be used depend on the type of leather and its intended use. This procedure can also be used to age specimens for the test of dimensional change according to ISO 17130.

3 Principle
A test specimen of leather is exposed to at least one of the three following conditions:
— heat (see Clause 6);
— heat and humidity (see Clause 7);
— cycles of different temperature and humidity (see Clause 8).
One or more of these procedures may take place simultaneously. The change in colour of the specimen
is assessed with the standard grey scale and, if applicable, any changes in the finish or appearance are noted.
These procedures can also be used to prepare the leather specimen for other physical or fastness tests after accelerated ageing. The assessment of dimension change is described in ISO 17130.
NOTE Accelerated ageing tests are for guidance only and they are not necessarily representative of long term use at ambient temperatures.
