The leather industry occupies a privileged position in the trade table of this country. Of late, the development of an expanding export market for finished leather goods has further heightened the interest in this industry. In order to facilitate unambiguous exchange of commercial and scientific information within the industry, and to inculcate an increasing scientific bias in the use of terms, current in the leather trade, the standard was first published in 1960. In the preparation of this glossary, most of the indigenous terms in use in the Indian hides, skins and leather trade, together with their synonyms and common terms in vogue, have been included. The glossm-y, however, limits itself strictly to terms related to hides, skins and leather; terms relating to footwear and other trades, general, chemical and Other terms pertaining to proprietary and patented items being not included. Terms which may be commonly used in the leather industry but convey commonly accepted dictionary meanings have been excluded. [n this revision, additional terms have been added and a few terms which have lost significance have been deleted, It is hoped that this glossary will prove useful to the leather trade in general and the Indian leather industry in particular. The composition of the Committee for formulation of this standard is given in Annex A. This standard is intended chiefly to cover the technical definitions of terms. and it may not necessarily include all the legal implications of the terms. \ IS 1640:2007 Indian Standard GLOSSARY OF TERMS RELATING TO HIDES, SKINS AND LEATHER (First Revision ) 1 SCOPE Acid Colours — Group of aniline dyes which are compounds of organic acids and an inorganic base, This standard defines the terms strictly relating to hides, usually sodium hydroxide.
