A WIDE RANGE OF LEATHER TESTING TO ENSURE YOUR PRODUCT QUALITY
Leather has been important to man from the time of the Stone Age. Since its first use as a form of clothing, footwear and shelter, there has been a wide diversification in the types and end-uses of leather, both for consumer and industrial purposes. This has been possible because of new product developments and modern technology.
The range of leather products includes garments and clothing accessories, luggage, bags and briefcases, gloves, wallets, belts, watch straps, furniture, upholstery, sporting goods, safety gloves, industrial belts, saddles and more.
With growing consumer trends for functional products, eco-friendly leather and performance garments with special finishes, there has been innovation in both mechanical and chemical processes for the production of premium quality hides and skins. These changing market needs have also made the quality and safety requirements of leather goods more complex.
At SGS we have facilities for testing all the physical, chemical, performance and environmental properties of leather, leather products and chemical components:
- Leather identification tests
- Chemical composition analysis
- Physical testing for special performance, strength and wear properties
- Tests for colorfastness
- Testing for restricted substances
