scope:
This document specifies a method to determine the amounts of dimethylformamide (DMF) in footwear and footwear components containing polyurethane (PU) coated material. NOTE 1 - In footwear industry, when PU is injected (reaction moulded), this process does not need the use of DMF. For PU coated material, the use of DMF is possible. NOTE 2 - Several abbreviations can be used for dimethylformamide DMF, DMFa, DMFo. This document recommends to use DMF. CEN ISO/TR 16178, table 1 defines which materials are concerned by this determination.
