Main Protocol

Protocol 6.6 is launched!

We are pleased to announce the launch of Protocol P.6.6 which is available to use from 1st October 2018.  This new protocol contains significant changes for Housekeeping, Reporting Requirements, Salt Calculations and Water Measurement.  A full breakdown of the key changes is available by clicking on the file below.

There is a six month introduction period during which time a leather manufacturer may choose to be audited against the existing P6.5.3 or to be audited against the new P6.6.  This introduction period ends on 1st April 2019 when P6.6 will become mandatory for use.

P6.5.3 will be retired on 31st March 2019.
