ISO 17228:2015规定了各种老化程序，以获得当皮革长时间暴露于特定环境时可能发生的变化的指示。随着时间的推移，皮革和皮革本身的表面颜色由于老化和周围环境对皮革的作用而改变。使用的测试条件取决于皮革的类型及其预期用途。 该程序也可用于根据ISO 17130对样品进行尺寸变化测试

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.
