CAN/CGSB-4.2 No. 63.5-2007/ISO 14184-2:1998

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO 14184-2:1998. 1 Scope This standard 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 3500 mg/kg when determined by this method. The lower limit is 20 mg. 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.
