Testing areas
Associates to textiles
With textiles, it is not only important to assess the quality of the main material. Quantitatively smaller components such as zips or buttons should also meet the highest requirements and are subject to strict legal and commercial regulations. We test all possible accessories of textiles for you, no matter how insignificant they may seem.
