ISO 17228:2015规定了各种老化程序，以获得皮革长期暴露在特定环境中时可能发生的变化指示。随着时间的推移，皮革的表面颜色和皮革本身会因老化和周围环境对皮革的作用而发生变化。使用的试验条件取决于皮革类型及其预期用途。 该程序也可用于根据ISO 17130对试样进行老化，以进行尺寸变化试验。

ISO 17228:2015 specifies various ageing procedures to obtain an indication of the changes that could occur when leather is exposed to a certain environment for a prolonged time. Over time, the surface colour of leather and the leather itself change due to ageing and to the action of the surroundings on the leather. The test conditions to be used depend on the type of leather and its intended use. This procedure can also be used to age specimens for the test of dimensional change according to ISO 17130.
