1 Scope
This part of ISO 14184 specifies a method for determining the amount of formaldehyde released under the
conditions of accelerated storage from textiles in any form by means of a vapour absorption method.
The procedure is intended for use in the range of releasable formaldehyde on the fabric between 20 mg/kg
and 3 500 mg/kg when determined by this method. The lower limit is 20 mg/kg. Below this limit, the result is
reported as “not detectable”.
A method for determination of free formaldehyde and formaldehyde extracted partly through hydrolysis in
aqueous solution is given in ISO 14184-1.
