DIN EN 16484:2016-02 EN 16484:2015 (E) 4 Introduction This standard has been prepared for defining the conditions for determining the origin of the leath
18、er production in conformity with the international Non-Preferential 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
19、it certain that the statement is accurate. Therefore it needs to 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, leath
20、er upholstered furniture, etc. are subject to their own respective 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
21、origin to the leather article. DIN EN 16484:2016-02 EN 16484:2015 (E) 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. T
22、his European Standard applies to leather only and it applies also to leather with hair. Furs are excluded. The country of origin of raw hides and skins isnt relevant for the application of this standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced
23、in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 15987:2015, Leather Terminology Key definitions for the leather trade 3 Terms
24、 and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 15987:2015 and the following apply. 3.1 leather hide or skin with its original fibrous structure more or less intact, tanned to be imputrescible, where the hair or wool may or may not have been removed, whether
25、 or not the hide or skin has been split into layers or segmented either before or after tanning and where any surface coating or surface layer, however applied, is not thicker than 0,15 mm Note 1 to entry: If the tanned hide or skin is disintegrated mechanically and/or chemically into fibrous partic
26、les, small pieces or powders and then, with or without the combination of a binding agent, is made into sheets or other forms, such sheets or forms are not leather. Note 2 to entry: If the grain layer has been completely removed, the term leather will not be used without further qualification, e.g.
27、split leather, suede leather.

32、of the leather production 4 Requirements for the determination of the origin 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
33、at different stages of production can be considered coming from/produced in 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 tan
34、ning phase. EXAMPLE The denomination will be “Tanned (or wet blue, wet white 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 count
35、ry A, shall obtain the origin of the Country B only if it is additionally submitted to the process step of “retanning-fatliquoring-(dyeing)” in country B. DIN EN 16484:2016-02 EN 16484:2015 (E) 7 4.4 Finished leathers The origin of a finished leather shall be the country where “retanning-fatliquorin
36、g-dyeing” takes place. If the finishing takes place in a different country than 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 demonstrat
37、ed at least through objective documents of transaction or of production, which are capable to demonstrate where the substantial transformations have been carried out. This documentation shall not be replaced by a company self-declaration. DIN EN 16484:2016-02 EN 16484:2015 (E) 8 Annex A (informative
38、) Items to be provided to determine the origin of the leather production A.1 General In order to determine the origin of the leather production and to communicate it in a transparent way, the company should prepare the items described in A.2, A.3, A.4, A.5. A.2 Product identification The company sho
39、uld univocally identify and list the products of which it wants the origin to be declared, according to the requirements listed in Clause 4 (for example with a product code, the name of the article, etc.).

40、to A.2, by keeping appropriate records of all the phases of substantial transformation according to the requirements stated in EN ISO 9001:2008, 7.5.3. Examples of appropriate registrations can be: documents of process control, production orders, working cards, documents of transport, all that is an
41、 input/output registration of the working defined as substantial for the origin declaration. A.4 Sales and commercial documentation In case the company wants to create sales and commercial documents of the leather whose origin declaration is intended (e.g. packing list, technical sheets, product she
42、ets), they should include the evidence of the origin of the production of the leather indication, on the basis of the items reported in A.2 and of the related destination. In any case the origin indication shall be referred only to the articles corresponding to the requirements of this standard. A.5
