With excellent service and good reputation, it has won wide praise in the industry.
Clothing and textile testing standards
EU testing standards
Hazardous substance testing: The EU REACH regulation strictly controls highly concerned substances (SVHC) in clothing and textiles. Currently, the SVHC list has reached over 200, covering a variety of chemical substances that may pose a threat to human health and the environment, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phthalates, etc. Testing institutions need to use equipment such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to accurately detect these substances in clothing and textiles. In addition, the EU also imposes restrictions on the formaldehyde content in textiles. According to the EN 14184 series standards, a spectrophotometer is used to detect the free formaldehyde and released formaldehyde content in textiles to ensure compliance with relevant standards.
Eco label certification: The EU Eco label sets strict environmental requirements for the entire lifecycle of clothing and textiles, including the acquisition of raw materials, energy consumption and pollution emissions during production, and product recyclability. Products that have obtained this certification must meet higher standards in terms of harmful substance content and ecological friendliness.
Physical performance testing: According to EN ISO 13934-1:2013 "Tensile properties of textiles - Part 1: Determination of tensile strength and elongation at break by strip method", the tensile properties of textiles are tested using a universal material testing machine; According to EN ISO 6330:2012 "Determination of dimensional changes in textiles after household washing and drying", the shrinkage rate of textiles is tested using a shrinkage rate tester.
American testing standards
CPSIA regulation: The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) in the United States imposes strict restrictions on harmful substances such as lead and phthalates in children's clothing. Use atomic absorption spectroscopy and other equipment to detect lead content in children's clothing to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. At the same time, conduct a small parts swallowing test on children's clothing to prevent children from accidentally swallowing small parts on the clothing.
AATCC standards: The American Association of Textile Chemists and Dyers (AATCC) has developed a series of testing standards for textile color fastness, light resistance, wash resistance, and other aspects. For example, AATCC 16 "Color fastness to light: Artificial light" specifies the method of using a xenon arc lamp tester to test the color fastness to light of textiles; AATCC 61 "Color fastness to washing: Accelerated method" specifies the method of using a washing fastness tester to test the washing fastness of textiles.
GST standard technology testing strictly follows international standards in the process of clothing and textile testing, and controls every testing step to ensure the accuracy and fairness of the testing results.
