Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 This Standard specifies a method to determine the amounts of dimethylformamide (DMF) in footwear and footwear components containing polyurethane (PU) coated material.
2 Dimethylformamide (DMF) is a commonly used solvent in the footwear industry, especially in the manufacture of polyurethane (PU)-coated materials. However, DMF may pose toxicological risks to consumers, as it can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled, potentially causing liver damage and other health issues. As a result, regulatory limits have been established for DMF content to ensure consumer safety.
