Service background
Apparel and textile products are in direct prolonged contact with human skin, carrying a wide range of potential hazards such as restricted carcinogenic dyes, formaldehyde, heavy metals, PFAS, flammability risk and mechanical hazards like drawstring entanglement. Worldwide regulatory frameworks and retailer RSL requirements are continuously tightened for textile articles, with extra strict controls for children’s garments. Verified testing evidence is mandatory to prove conformity. Non-compliant items face market detention, recall and sales bans. Our laboratory delivers professional apparel and textile testing support to help brands and manufacturers achieve smooth cross-border market access.
