This Technical Specification specifies a test method to determine the presence of phthalates compounds. The test method is applicable to all types of footwear materials. The aim of the method is to extract phthalates in footwear materials such as leather, textile, polymers, coated materials or others. This method uses the extraction apparatus in accordance with Soxhlet with n-hexane/acetone as solvent. The total n-hexane/acetone extractable phthalate plasticizer content is calculated by weight with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) detection to identify and quantify individual phthalates. The Committee responsible for this standard is NA 062-04-52 AA "Schuhe" ("Footwear") at DIN.
