Quality
Quality you can document.
Certifications, technical datasheets and an ISO and EN testing programme: the information that quality and purchasing departments ask for, ready to share.
Certifications
OEKO-TEX®
Standard 100
Articles certified according to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100: tested for substances harmful to health.

Testing programme
We test what we publish.
Both articles follow a testing programme at an independent laboratory, with reports issued in English against ISO and EN standards. Results are added to the technical datasheets as they are issued.
Colour fastness is tested on three representative shades: one dark, one medium and one light.
