Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
IULTCS, originally formed in 1897, is a world-wide organization of professional leather societies to
further the advancement of leather science and technology. IULTCS has three Commissions, which
are responsible for establishing international methods for the sampling and testing of leather. ISO
recognizes IULTCS as an international standardizing body for the preparation of test methods for
leather.
This document was prepared by the Physical Testing Commission of the International Union of Leather
Technologists and Chemists Societies (IUP Commission, IULTCS), in collaboration with the European
Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 289, Leather, in accordance with
the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 5402-1:2017), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— an Introduction has been added;
— Figures 1 and 3 (previously Figure 1 in ISO 5402-1:2011) have been added;
— Clause 5 has been technically revised, in particular subclause 5.1.2 to allow the use of 2 types of
upper clamps;
— Clause 7 has been technically revised;
— a new bullet point c) has been added to the test report.
A list of all parts in the ISO 5402 series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction
This document describes a widely-used method with a flexing apparatus for determining the dry or wet
flex resistance of leather and finishes applied to leather. The number of flexing cycles chosen depends
on the end use of the leather and the expected performance. The leather specification normally defines
the number of flex cycles that the leather is required to achieve without damage. In addition, the flexing
process can be used as a pre-treatment for other test procedures.
This type of flexing apparatus was developed in 1963 and the flexing equipment described in this
document is available commercially from a range of manufacturers globally. The robust equipment is
typically used by tanneries and test laboratories for many decades. Over the years, small differences in
the geometry of the upper clamp (5.1.2) develop. In ISO 5402-1:2017 a modified upper clamp design was
introduced. In this document the upper clamp differences have been grouped together into 2 categories:
Specification 1 (as in ISO 5402-1:2017) and Specification 2 (as in ISO 5402-1:2011).
