01 Chemical analysis

Carrying out a chemical analysis of metal materials makes it possible to precisely define their chemical composition, to guarantee the quality and safety of the finished product, certifying its compliance with design requirements. At the same time, a chemical analysis of metals allows us to safeguard the environment and consumer health, guaranteeing the absence of prohibited substances with respect to national and international regulations.

02 Colour fastness

Colour fastness is a key parameter in assessing the resistance of fabrics and leathers to exposure to various environmental and usage factors. Our laboratory performs specific tests to determine colourfastness in the presence of light, sweat, rubbing and washing, ensuring compliance with the standards required by the industry. This type of analysis is essential to ensure the quality and durability of materials used in fashion, furniture and automotive. The reference standards are: ISO 105, EN ISO 11640.

03 Analisi su prodotto finito

L’analisi su prodotto finito permette di verificare che il materiale tessile o il pellame, una volta trasformato in un capo d'abbigliamento, un accessorio o un elemento di arredamento, soddisfi i requisiti normativi e qualitativi previsti. Prima della commercializzazione sono svolte verifiche cruciali per garantire sicurezza e affidabilità, come: test di resistenza meccanica, emissione di sostanze volatili, rilascio di metalli pesanti e altre analisi chimiche. Norme di riferimento: REACH, EN 1811, EN 14362.
