Textiles -- Determination of formaldehyde -- Part 2: Released formaldehyde (vapour absorption method)
Abstract:
This standard specifies a method for determining the amount of formaldehyde released under the conditions of accelerated storage from textiles in any form by means of a vapour absorption method.
The procedure is intended for use in the range of releasable formaldehyde on the fabric between 20 mg/kg and 3500 mg/kg when determined by this method. The lower limit is 20 mg. Below this limit the result is reported as 'not-detectable'.
A method for determination of free formaldehyde and formaldehyde extracted partly through hydrolysis in aqueous solution is given in ISO 14184-1.

The term opposite to free is bound, that is, involved in a chemical compound. Releaseable means that some substance can be liberated from some compound through some chemical reaction.
