Overview
This International Standard specifies a non-destructive method for determining the softness of a leather. The method is applicable to all non-rigid leathers, for example, shoe-upper leather, upholstery leather, leather goods leather and apparel leather. A cylindrical rod of defined mass is lowered at a specified rate onto a securely clamped area of leather. The distension of the leather produced is recorded as the softness. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 062-05-51 AA "Anforderungen und physikalische Prüfverfahren für Leder und seine Ausgangsprodukte" ("Requirements and physical test methods of leather and ...") at DIN.
