We offer you testing services to evaluate the quality, safety and non-toxicity of fashion products: from the prototype through the early stages of development and production and release on the market. How can we help you?

Safety tests

To guarantee the product safety, respect for the consumer and absolutely certain performance that form the foundations for access to the market, complying with legislation in effect in various countries.
Here are a few examples:

heel attachment to sole according to EN 12785
resistance to repeated impact of the heel according to EN ISO 19956
slip resistance of soles according to EN 13287

Performance / Physical – Mechanical tests

To assess the quality and suitability of materials used, from design to prototyping in compliance with the quality standards and with end-use performance requirements:

determination of resistance to repeated bending according to ISO 17707
determination of rigidity of the arch support according to EN 12959

Chemical tests

to assess the chemical safety of the finished product and its components.

Here are a few examples:

verification of conformity to binding legislation all over the world
monitoring of production process
assessment of compliance with private PRSL, RSL and MRSL

Comfort tests

To measure ergonomic parameters such as transpiration and water vapour absorption

Packaging tests

To preserve integrity throughout the distribution chain, or to assess the suitability of materials destined for contact with food.
