ISO/TS 16179 is a technical specification titled "Determination of Organic Tin Compounds in Footwear Components". This specification specifies methods used for the determination of organic tin compounds that may be present in footwear components. Organic tin compounds can be used as antifungals, stabilizers or UV protectors in some products. However, some types of these compounds, particularly tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPhT), have caused environmental and health concerns.

My ability to provide a detailed procedure or protocol is limited, but a general approach can be found below:

1. **Sample Preparation:** The shoe component to be analyzed is ground and a homogeneous sample is obtained.
2. **Extraction:** Organic tin compounds are extracted from the sample matrix using a suitable solvent.
3. **Representation and Concentration:** The extract is brought to a volume suitable for analysis and concentrated as necessary.
4. **Analysis:** Instruments such as gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) are used to detect and quantitatively measure organic tin compounds. GC-MS is highly sensitive for this type of analysis and is often the method of choice for detecting organic tin compounds.
5. **Evaluation of Results:** The analysis results obtained are compared with certain limits or standards. This is used to determine whether shoe components comply with certain regulations and guidelines.
