BS EN 16484:2015EN 16484:2015 (E) 4 Introduction This standard has been prepared for defining the conditions for determining the origin of the leather production in conformity with the international Non-Preferenti

17、al Rules of Origin and for fulfilling, where applicable, the requirements for supplying the declaration of the country of origin of the leather production. When the origin of the leather production is declared, it is essential to make it certain that the statement is accurate. Therefore it needs to

18、relate to objective and verifiable requirements. This standard applies to leather only. Leather articles, such as leather bags, leather goods, leather accessories, leather footwear, leather clothes or leather clothes accessories, leather upholstered furniture, etc. are subject to their own respectiv

19、e rules of origin. It is not possible to determine implicitly the origin of leather used (partially or totally) from the declared origin of leather articles. Conversely, the origin of the leather used does not automatically confer the origin to the leather article. BS EN 16484:2015EN 16484:2015 (E)

20、5 1 Scope This European Standard defines the requirements that are necessary to confer the origin of leather production based on the principle of the last substantial transformation according to Non-Preferential Rules of Origin.

31、n of the leather production 4.1 General In order to determine the origin of the leather production, the country where it has been submitted to the last substantial transformation needs to be ascertained. Consequently leather at different stages of production can be considered coming from/produced in

32、 a given Country if they comply with the rules explained in 4.2, 4.3, 4.4. 4.2 Tanned leather (e.g. wet blue, wet white, vegetable tanned leather) Starting from raw hides/skins, the substantial transformation shall be the tanning phase. EXAMPLE The denomination will be “Tanned (or wet blue, wet whit

33、e etc.) leather from Country A”. 4.3 Crust (dyed or not) The substantial transformation shall be the process step of “retanning-fatliquoring-(dyeing)”. EXAMPLE The denomination will be “Crust from Country A”. Crust from country A, shall obtain the origin of the Country B only if it is additionally s

34、ubmitted to the process step of “retanning-fatliquoring-(dyeing)” in country B. BS EN 16484:2015EN 16484:2015 (E) 7 4.4 Finished leathers The origin of a finished leather shall be the country where “retanning-fatliquoring-dyeing” takes place. If the finishing takes place in a different country than

35、the retanning- fatliquoring-dyeing, then it shall be indicated separately. 5 Records to verify the country of origin The origin of the leather shall be demonstrated and recorded. The geographic-origin shall be demonstrated at least through objective documents of transaction or of production, which a

36、re capable to demonstrate where the substantial transformations have been carried out. This documentation shall not be replaced by a company self-declaration. BS EN 16484:2015EN 16484:2015 (E) 8 Annex A (informative) Items to be provided to determine the origin of the leather production A.1 General
