Performance Testing

Key Functional Properties

In addition to quality and chemical safety, textiles must perform reliably in real use. We test core performance properties, such as:

Waterproofness and water resistance
Breathability and air permeability
Washing durability

We also test for special performance claims, such as comfort and moisture management, compression, odor, UV protection and others.

Fiber Composition & Labeling

Fiber Composition Testing and Labeling Compliance

Reliable fiber analysis to guarantee accurate labeling and global regulatory conformance.

Yarn and fabric composition testing
Quantitative fiber blend analysis (composition)
Microscopic fiber analysis
Chemical analysis of fibers (FTIR spectroscopy, solubility methods)
Global textile labeling compliance
Complaint processing and fiber damage investigation
Microfiber shedding, qualitative gene analysis

Labeling Law Compliance

Chemical Testing & Restricted Substances

Consumer, Worker & Environmental Safety

Identify harmful substances and confirm compliance with international RSLs.

Validation of legal compliance or requirements beyond regulations (REACH, CPSIA, individual RSLs, etc.)
Testing for international Restricted Substance Lists (RSLs) or Manufacturing Restricted Substance Lists (MRSLs)
Wastewater and sludge testing (ZDHC, OEKO-TEX®, Greenpeace, etc.)
PFAS, heavy metals, formaldehyde and VOC testing
OEKO-TEX® certifications, such as OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 - annually updated, independent certification for textiles at all processing levels
Expert reports to support legal claims
