Our textile testing determines conformity with legal requirements, standards, international specifications and internal quality guidelines. 

Textile technology testing

• Quality testing (colour fastness, fibre fineness, dimensional stability, strength of fabrics) 
• Performance testing (such as water resistance, waterproofness, breathability/permeability to air, pilling, washing tests, etc.) 
• Determination of fibre composition (Textile Labelling Act)

Testing for chemicals and harmful substances

• Validation of legal conformity and product requirements that go beyond statutory needs (such as testing for harmful substances according to REACH, CPSIA and individual RSLs)
• Wastewater and sludge testing according to individual requirements (ZDHC, OEKO-TEX®, Greenpeace)
• Preparation of expert reports in the case of claims
• OEKO-TEX® certification

Textile labelling and fibre composition

• Determining the qualitative and quantitative attributes of yarns and fabrics is crucial if you want to identify materials correctly in accordance with EU textile labelling directives.
• We identify fibres and determine their properties in three ways – by using microscopes, mechanical testing or chemical testing.
