This part of ISO 5398 describes a method for the determination of chromium in aqueous solution obtained
from leather. This is an analysis for total chromium in leather; it is not compound specific or specific to its
oxidation state.
This method describes the determination of chrome by iodometric titration and is to be applicable to
chromium-tanned leathers which are expected to have chromic oxide contents in excess of 0,3 %. Two
different methods are described as alternatives for obtaining chromium in a suitable solution. It is appropriate
to use either method.
