Overview
This Technical Specification gives a test method for determining the amounts of dimethyl fumarate (DMFU) in footwear materials, desiccant sachets and other commodities. The test method is not applicable to metal parts. The materials to which this determination is applicable are given in ISO/TR 16178:2012, Table 1. In Europe, DMFU is prohibited in biocidal products as per Directive 98/8/EC. The substance shall be used with caution to avoid any health problems in the chemistry laboratory. More recently, Commission Decision 2009/251/EC requires member states to ensure that products containing the biocide DMFU are not placed or made available on the market in the European Union. The prohibition of DMFU as specified in Decision 2009/251/EC sets a maximum concentration of DMFU in products and parts of products of 0,1 mg/kg. This Technical Specification is directed at manufacturers of footwear, distributors of footwear, regulators as well as governmental supervisory authorities and independent test institutes. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 062-04-52 AA "Schuhe" ("Footwear") at DIN.
