Our testing capabilities help manufacturers deliver products that excel in functionality and comply with international standards.
Why Sports Textiles Testing Is Important?
Sports textiles face unique challenges, including exposure to sweat, friction, stretching, and varying weather conditions. Testing is essential to:
• Ensure fabric performance such as breathability, moisture wicking, and stretchability
• Verify durability against wear and tear during rigorous activity
• Confirm safety aspects like flame retardancy and skin irritation potential
• Guarantee compliance with regulatory and quality standards worldwide
• Help brands maintain trust and consumer satisfaction through verified product claims.
Testing protects athletes and consumers, prevents costly product recalls, and drives innovation in sportswear technology.
What We Test?
• Physical Properties: Tensile strength, tear resistance, abrasion resistance, dimensional stability, color fastness and composition
• Comfort & Performance: Moisture management, breathability, air permeability, thermal insulation, stretch & recovery
• Safety & Compliance: Flammability, pH value, harmful substances (e.g., AZO dyes, heavy metals)
• Special Features: UV protection, antimicrobial efficacy, water repellency, anti-odor treatments
We employ standardized methods such as ASTM, ISO, AATCC, and EN standards, alongside customized protocols to match client needs.
