Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 Dimethyl fumarate (DMFU) is used as a biocide preventing molds that may deteriorate leather, furniture or footwear during storage or transport in a humid climate. However, DMFU may affect consumers who are in contact with the products because it may cause painful skin contact dermatitis. The maximum limit of DMFU recommended in the leather is 0.1 mg/kg and specific test method is required to estimate DMFU with acceptable confidence level.
2 This standard specifies a method for the determination of the content of dimethyl fumarate (DMFU) by gas chromatograph with single quadrupole mass spectrometer (GC-MS) or tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer (GC-MS/MS).
