Footwear and leather products use a lot of chemical materials in manufacturing, which are often sources of hazardous substances. In order to avoid potential adverse effects to human health from footwear and leather products, restricting hazardous substances such as formaldehyde, azo dyes, extractable heavy metals, phthalates is a inevitably demand. Moreover, recalled events of China's footwear and leather products often occurred due to the exceeding hazardous substances in recent years. Therefore, it is necessary for testing hazardous substances in footwear and leather products to avoid trade risks.
