Leather and leather goods are used for a variety of purposes such as handbags or clothing. Leather can be processed from different species, with a number of variables going into the final products such as dyes, chemical processes, or microbiological activity. Having leather tested can show that it meets a certain quality requirement for labeling or other purposes, or show where there may be room for improvement in the production process.
The analysis of leather and leather goods is a process that looks at composition and quality of the leather. Leather testing can also incorporate toxicity assessments, chemical certification, or quality assurance.
