Why Product Testing & Certification Matter for Textile & Footwear
Textile and footwear products are subjected to strict standards for quality, durability, and safety, especially when sold in international markets. Meeting these requirements is essential to avoid product recalls, legal issues, and reputational damage. At Worldwide Quality Control, our testing and certification services provide a comprehensive evaluation of your products, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and enhancing consumer confidence.
Our Textile & Footwear Product Testing Services
We offer a comprehensive suite of testing services specifically tailored to assess the performance, safety, and durability of textile and footwear products:
- Material & Fabric Testing: We test fabrics for their tensile strength, tear resistance, abrasion resistance, and stretch properties, ensuring they meet the durability and performance standards required for various applications.
- Colorfastness Testing: Ensuring that textiles retain their color when subjected to washing, exposure to light, sweat, and friction, we help maintain product quality and consumer satisfaction.
- Chemical & Toxicity Testing: We test for harmful chemicals such as azo dyes, formaldehyde, phthalates, and heavy metals in fabrics and footwear, ensuring compliance with global safety regulations, including REACH and CPSIA.
- Performance & Durability Testing: For footwear, we assess the durability of materials, including wear-and-tear resistance, flexing endurance, slip resistance, and sole adhesion, ensuring the product can withstand real-world use.
- Flammability Testing: We conduct flammability tests on textiles and footwear to ensure compliance with safety standards, particularly for home textiles, children’s wear, and workwear.
- Waterproof & Breathability Testing: For functional textiles and footwear, we test for water resistance, moisture-wicking, and breathability to ensure your products meet performance expectations for outdoor or active wear.
- Allergen & Microbial Testing: We assess textiles and footwear for potential allergens or microbial contamination, which is essential for products like bedding, baby clothes, or hygiene-sensitive footwear.
- Thermal & UV Protection Testing: For textiles used in outdoor and sportswear, we test for thermal insulation and UV protection capabilities to ensure compliance with consumer safety expectations.
