ISO 11644:2009 specifies a method for measuring the adhesion of the finish to leather or the adhesion between two adjacent layers of the finish.

The method is valid for all finished leathers with a smooth surface that can be bonded to an adherent-plate without the adhesive penetrating into the finish. Preliminary experiments might be necessary to determine whether these conditions are met.

This test method is valid for finished leathers with a finish-coat thickness of at least 15 µm.
