Newsletter 7th April 2025

Welcome

This is the seventh edition of our scientific newsletter, dedicated to providing the latest updates on research, regulatory developments, technology, and standard methods in the leather industry.

This newsletter is available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. On today’s Newsleather the methods will be in English as they are technical terms.

This issue includes an update on the ISO/EN Official Leather Test Methods, and the methods developed by IULTCS that are not considered official standards. Dr. Giancarlo Lovato, the IULTCS ISO Committee Manager, explains how the Test Commissions function and how IULTCS, ISO, and CEN collaborate to create new standards for the leather industry.

We thank Dr. Lovato for his contribution to IULTCS and the leather industry.

Please share your comments and suggestions to secretary@iultcs.org

Kind regards,

Dr. Luis A. Zugno, editor
