Your Footwear and Leather Factory Answers Technical Queries in 3 Seconds

REACH Regulation (Annex XVII, entry 47) sets a limit of 3 mg/kg of hexavalent chromium in leather articles and leather-containing textiles that come into contact with skin. IgeraIndustria indexes this limit alongside the EN ISO 17075 test method (photometric determination of Cr(VI)), the laboratory certificates for every tanned hide batch, and the supplier result history, so quality teams can confirm compliance for a batch before it moves to production.

Yes. Directive 94/11/EC governs the labelling of the three main footwear components (upper, lining/sock, outsole) using standardised pictograms for leather, coated leather, textile and other materials. IgeraIndustria indexes the composition sheet for each style reference and generates the correct pictogram combination based on the dominant material of each component, preventing labelling errors on export shipments.

IgeraIndustria indexes tannery delivery notes, animal origin certificates and supply chain documentation for every hide batch: species, country of origin, tannery, batch number and tanning date. When a customer or auditor asks about the traceability of a finished item, the quality team retrieves the full batch history of the leather used in seconds.

Yes. Beyond Cr(VI), IgeraIndustria indexes the REACH restrictions on carcinogenic azo dyes (entry 43, 30 mg/kg limit on released amine), long-chain PFAS in water-repellent finishing treatments, and phthalates in plastic sole and buckle components. Quality staff query by reference and material family without reviewing the full regulation.

Yes. IgeraIndustria indexes tanning technical sheets (chrome, vegetable or chrome-free tanning process), REACH conformity certificates issued by each supplying tannery, and external laboratory test reports. When a new batch arrives, the buyer checks whether the supplier holds a valid certification before accepting the order.

IgeraIndustria indexes the quality control sheet for every batch: thickness in millimetres by hide zone, tear strength (EN ISO 3377), colour fastness to light and rubbing (EN ISO 105), and upper flex resistance (EN ISO 17694). Quality control staff check the minimum values required per reference against the received batch test result.

Yes. It indexes manuals for clicking presses, post and column sewing machines, and lasting/sole injection lines. Operators check pressure calibration, needle/thread changes, preventive maintenance and fault resolution from the shop floor without hunting for the paper manual.
